活动简介 | Event Brief

平均寿命的增长和生育率的下降，让人口老龄化在当今成为了一个全球现象。老年学家对中国的老龄化尤为感兴趣——因为人口老龄化的速度很快，在过去三十年中，家庭在社会和文化中的角色都发生了巨大的转变。

Population aging is a global phenomenon due to increasing life expectancies and decreasing fertility rates. China is of particular interest to gerontologists because of the speed at which its population is aging and the tremendous changes that have taken place in the social and cultural roles of families during the past three decades.

在由个人主义主导的文化中，有许多证据能够支撑个人-环境互动模型。然而，这个模型在以家庭为中心的文化中和在全球化、城市化和移民的影响下经历飞速转变的社会中能否得到验证，仍是个未知数。

The individual–environment interactive model has been supported by abundant evidence from societies dominated by an individualist culture. However, it is still unclear to what extent the model works in family-oriented cultures and societies undergoing dramatic changes due to globalization, urbanization, and migration.

7月14日，哥大全球中心 | 北京邀请您参加2019哥大中国之夏·东亚研究系列，暨庆祝哥伦比亚大学魏德海东亚研究所成立70周年 —— 专题讲座：为中国老年人构建支持性社会环境。

On July 14, Columbia Global Centers | Beijing invites you to a public lecture entitled "Supportive Social Environment for Older Adults in China," the fourth event in the 2019 Columbia Beijing Summer East Asian Studies Series, in celebration of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute's 70th anniversary.

本次讲座将集中探讨如何利用包括家庭、社会关系、社群和社会正义等多种力量，为中国老年人搭建支持性的社会环境。主讲人刘金玉教授也将展示她最新的研究成果，讨论朋友、配偶与代际关系、家庭背景和社群资源对中国农村与城市老年人精神健康的影响。

The presentation will focus on the supportive social environment for older adults in China that features resources from multiple layers, including family, social connections, community, and social justice. In particular, Professor Jinyu LIU will present the results of her recent studies that explore the effects of friendship, spousal and intergenerational relationships, household context and community resources on mental health among rural and urban older adults in China.

刘金玉

Jinyu LIU

现哥伦比亚大学社会工作学院副教授、魏德海东亚研究所研究员。她于2013年获爱荷华大学社会工作博士学位。在密西根大学社会工作学院完成博士后研究后，她加入了哥大的教师队伍。刘博士的研究关注中国家庭护工和中国老年人的精神健康。在有关家庭护工的研究中，刘博士探究了中国家庭护工身上的压力是如何在特定的文化和社会环境中呈现和发展的。她于这个领域的研究，为中国的健康领域专业人士和社群服务机构提供了宝贵的指导方法，帮助他们用与本土文化相符的方式干预中国家庭护工所承担的压力。

在有关中国老年人精神健康的研究中，刘博士调查了中国社会环境中影响老年人精神健康的多层因素和阻碍——包括来自家庭、朋友和邻居等多方影响。她于这个领域的研究为完善相关社会服务，建设支持性的社会环境，促进中国老年人的精神健康提供了宝贵参考，她的研究在以家庭为中心的文化背景中，及在社会、经济、文化和家庭模式都在经历飞速转变的社会中尤为适用。

刘博士在关注的两个主题上都提供了新颖的视角，拓宽了现有的研究领域，为中国老年人提供了重要且及时的帮助。刘博士在同行评审期刊上发表了27篇文章，并多次在国际会议与学术机构中展示自己的研究成果。

Dr. Jinyu LIU is an Associate Professor in Columbia University School of Social Work and is also on the faculty of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa School of Social Work in 2013. Before joining Columbia in 2015, Dr. Liu completed her postdoctoral fellowship in the University of Michigan School of Social Work.

Dr. Liu's research focuses stress of Chinese family caregivers and mental health of Chinese older adults. In her research on family caregiving, Dr. Liu explored how the mechanisms of the stress process unfold in the cultural and social contexts of Chinese family caregivers. The findings of her studies in this field provide invaluable guidance for health professionals and community service organizations in developing culturally congruent interventions to address stress of family caregivers in China. In her research on mental health of Chinese older adults, Dr. Liu have investigated the effects of resources and barriers at multiple layers of the social environment—including family, friendship, and neighborhood—on the mental health of older Chinese. Her research in this area offers crucial implications for developing social services that help strengthen the supportive social environments for older adults and improve their mental health, especially in family-oriented cultures and societies undergoing dramatic social, economic, cultural, and familial transformations.

On both themes, she has produced substantive new knowledge that expands the existing literature and provides important and timely service implications for Chinese older adults. Dr. Liu has published a total of 27 publications in peer-reviewed journals and presented studies in various international conferences and institutes.
