I am trained as a social psychologist, and I study group processes and intergroup relations. My primary interest is in how social identity processes (attachment to group memberships) and people's concerns about fairness intersect to affect relationships among people in small groups, organizations civic communities, and nation-states.

I was born on the island of Taiwan and transplanted at an early age to California which has become my home. Iive in Los Angeles and before that, I spent many years up north in the San Francisco Bay Area- including my college and graduate years at the University of California, Berkeley. When i'm not at work, I like to spend time with my spouse, Brian Foley (assistant professor of education technology and science education at Cal State Northridge), and our two daughters.
