Curriculum Vitae

Click HERE for a PDF of the curriculum vitae

In general, my research is focused on understanding how cultural mixes among individuals (as in the case of bicultural persons) influence their emotions, attitudes, behaviors, and well-being. I am primarily interested in the psychological experiences of Filipino Americans and their mental health, as well as on the psychological processes and effects of oppression/colonization on other historically oppressed groups (e.g., Native Americans, Alaska Natives, etc.). Thus, I investigate the mental health consequences of subtle, overt, historical, contemporary, interpersonal, and institutional discrimination, racism, and oppression. Relatedly, I am also studying the worldwide growth of the indigenous psychology movement and postcolonial psychology. The development of culturally-relevant and sensitive psychological assessment instruments is another major interest.
Thus far, I have published over 25 journal articles, book chapters, books, or technical reports, have presented my research over 20 times in professional conferences, and have shared my research over 20 times with various community organizations.
