Having spent a significant part of my life outside my heritage culture (Chinese), I've developed a profound interest in examining how culture influences people's thinking, doing, and being. I research and publish in the areas of ageing and immigration, acculturation, identity negotiation, and intercultural relations. I am particularly interested in how older people of diverse cultural backgrounds search for a sense of home, identity, and belonging as they live and age in a foreign land.
One of my contributions to the field is to advance the process orientated approach in research on immigrant integration. I've been researching and publishing in this area over the past decade. My more recent research examines the ageing experiences of people from diverse cultural backgrounds. International recognition of my work is demonstrated by the editorial responsibilities that I carry, my invited keynote presentation, media appearances, and holdings of my books in world leading university libraries.

Broad area in: Identity, Acculturation; Intercultural relations; Media representation and effects
I'm interested in research in the broad area of ageing, older immigrantts, identity, acculturation, intercultural relations, and media representation. My research is interdisciplinary. I'm familiar with both qualitative and quantitative research methods. If you are considering doing a PhD in those areas under my supervision, please feel free to contact me. I'd be very happy to discuss your topic areas with you!
