I am a tenured associate professor in the Counseling Psychology programs at Indiana University Bloomington. I am also an affiliate faculty with the Asian American Studies program. I teach graduate courses in social psychology, counseling theories, advanced counseling theories, and counseling.
I have authored or co-authored 62 scholarly publications and in-press papers (51 in peer-reviewed journals). My research interests are in the areas of Asian/Asian American psychology and the psychology of men and masculinities. With regard to Asian/Asian American psychology, my overarching interest is in the relationship between cultural variables and mental health. My recent research projects have focused on suicide-related outcomes among Asian Americans. With respect to the psychology of men and masculinities, my research interests include (a) men's emotional behavior, (b) men's subjective masculinity experiences, (c) men of color, and (d) social psychological and social constructionist perspectives on masculinity.
I also have an interest in positive psychology, including the science of gratitude, positive psychological interventions, and happiness.
