Susan S. Chuang, PhD, is Professor at the University of Guelph, Canada. Her research focuses on parenting and fathering of young children in various countries (Canada, China, Hong Kong, Paraguay, Taiwan, and the U.S.). Her second line of research examines families and immigration, collaborating with various national organizations in Canada. In this area, she was the lead editor of two issues, Sex Roles (2009) and the Journal of Family Psychology (2009) which all focused on issues and challenges that immigrant children, youth, and families faced. She co-edited, On New Shores: Understanding Immigrant Fathers in North America (2008) and Immigrant Children: Change, Adaptation, and Cultural Transformation (2011) as lead editor for Lexington Books. She is the Series Editor for Springer’s Immigrant Family Research. As lead editor, she has edited three books, including Gender Roles in Immigrant Families (2013), Parental Roles and Relationships in Immigrant Families: An International Approach (2018), and Asian Families in Canada and the United States: Implications for Mental Health and Well-Being (2021). She organized six international conferences on immigrant families (On New Shores conferences). A third line of research explores intimate partner violence (IPV) against men and fathers, high conflict situations, and child access/custody issues. With a federal grant (2021), she is partnered with a men’s organization to further explore the complexities of IPV, help-seeking behaviors, and community support. Lastly, she is investigating cannabis use among Chinese and immigrant Chinese families in Canada and China. This four-year federal grant (2021 – 2024) will explore youth’s and parents’ perceptions and stigma on cannabis use, parent-youth relationships, and mental health.
