Shannon is a scholar and practitioner whose research focuses on DEI in the workplace from a multilevel perspective, looking at interactions between the individual, interpersonal, organizational, and society as a whole.
Asians in IO Psychology’s mission is to empower Asians within the field of IO psychology. Their aim is to create greater awareness of the multifaceted Asian experience, and partner with allies to drive positive change in IO Psychology.

In this episode, we debate the use of the terms "underrepresented" and "underrecognized." What's the upside of using one term over the other? Is this just wordsmithing or is there more to shifting the way we talk about marginalized minorities? And what does it mean for us Asians?

We're back and we're kicking off season 3 with the following question: what food from your culture do you feel comfortable bringing to work?

We discuss these and a whole lot more!

We start out by listing our dream speakers and why they are important to the community, touching on their background, and the unique contributions they can make to our program. We get creative as we chat about questions we'd ask them regarding their lived experiences, grit, motivation, as well as their racial identity journey and why and how this all matters to Asian American and Asian professionals.
