Personal profile
Biography
My major research interests include social stratification and inequality, economic sociology, demography, racial and ethnic relations, and East Asian societies. Prior to Hong Kong Baptist University, my previous institutions were the University of Texas, and Texas A&M University. I am currently doing research on an organizational model of the class structure; the effect of vocabulary score on the Black-White wage gap in the US; ethnic differentials in socioeconomic outcomes among Whites in the US; and a review of the sociology of Asian Americans. I teach courses on statistics and research methods, racial and ethnic relations, demography, and social stratification.
