Diversity of the Asian and Asian American Pacific Islander Experience
The DAAAPIE research lab endeavors to discover, learn and better understand the complex and diverse experiences of individuals who identify as Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islanders. Through mentorship, collaboration and community, lab members engage in larger research studies and also support each other to achieve their own specific research goals and projects. While our research studies aim to contribute to the psychological literature, they also uplift and honor the voices of Asians and Asian American and Pacific Islander individuals.
