Jessica Yang | Social Work |
I have a wide range of diverse interests. At the core, diversity, equity, and inclusion
drive my work and I am interested in this area in many different systems and use critical
race theory to guide my work. My interests include but are not limited to: In addition to topic areas I use quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and survey designs to guide my work and I am deeply invested in public impact scholarship. Meaning I always work hard to find ways to make sure that my research is accessible and understood by the public. Research doesn't do us any good if it is stuck in a journal beind a pay-wall! |
