• Since 2009, at the urging of my late mentor Dr. Don Nakanishi, I have been studying the racial politics of affirmative action policies, with a focus on Asian Americans, and how college admissions operates. Some relevant works in this area include:

  • A Möbius Model of Racialized Organizations: Durability of Racial Inequalities in Admissions. The Journal of Higher Education.

  • Asian Americans, affirmative action, and the political economy of racism: A multidimensional model of racial ideologies. Harvard Educational Review.

  • The racial mascot speaks​: A critical race discourse analysis of Asian Americans and Fisher v. University of Texas. Review of Higher Education.

  • Visualizing social influences on Filipino American and Southeast Asian American college choice. Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement.

​

• Rethinking College Admissions: Research-Based Practice and Policy. This book probes the many facets of higher education admissions and translates research-backed insights into actionable strategies for innovative, equitable admissions practices.

• Difficult Subjects: Insights and Strategies for Teaching about Race, Sexuality, and Gender.​ This book is intended to serve as a resource for college educators interested in cultivating classroom pedagogical approaches in difficult political times.
