Current Courses
PSY 233.001 Psychology Of Personality
PSY 233.002 Psychology Of Personality
Teaching Interests & Areas
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 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 & Areas
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.
