Acculturation can be a difficult and confusing process; but while it might be tempting to give overarching support or advice for people going through the acculturative process, one must also understand the intersectional nature of acculturation.

In this podcast, Sharene interviews two people who speak about how they see the gendered and cultural nature of acculturation as well, and how this might even coincide with different forms of cultural identity that they have come to adopt. Based on relevant cultural perspectives and expectations, how do you see people from different cultures and genders differ in how they acculturate?
