June 9, 2025 - 17:35
Dr. Hui Zhang and Dr. Matthew Stapleton from the University of Indianapolis School of Psychology have achieved a significant milestone in academic research. Together with alumni Jonathan Thang and Bradley Waggoner, they have published their insightful research article titled "Navigating Racial Discrimination and Negotiating Place: A Phenomenological Analysis of Chinese Americans' Conversations With Friends." This work has been featured in the Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology.
The article delves into the experiences of Chinese Americans, exploring how they navigate conversations about racial discrimination within their social circles. Through a phenomenological approach, the researchers gathered qualitative data that sheds light on the complexities of identity and belonging in the context of racial dynamics. This collaborative effort not only highlights the importance of faculty-student partnerships in academia but also contributes valuable perspectives to ongoing discussions about race and community engagement. The publication stands as a testament to the dedication and hard work of both faculty and students in advancing psychological research.
