Scholar Studies Ethnic Identity
Tiffany Yip, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Fordham University, is Chinese American. She was born in the U.S. and was raised in many different places like California, Texas, Illinois and Hong Kong. In her school she was one of the very few Asians. Yip’s ethnic identity wasn’t always easy for her to understand. Yip’s childhood questions about race and ethnicity have led her to study ethnic identity in Chinese-American teenagers and young adults in the New York City area.
