Teaching Interests:
I infuse cultural issues in all of my courses (e.g., Personality, Senior Seminar, and Psychology of Diversity). My teaching philosophy is that we build knowledge by thinking, talking, writing, and evaluating current knowledge. For senior seminar and graduate courses I have a dual role. That is, I begin by reviewing key points. Then, I will become a group facilitator, with the class as a whole being in charge of the discussions.
Research Interests:
My current research is on workplace prejudice and discrimination based on gender, race-ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disability, through a multicultural and cross-cultural perspective, which enlarges the range of hypothesis testing.
