Bio/Research
Born and raised in Hong Kong, I came to Canada with great enthusiasm to pursue my undergraduate studies in the frigid, peaceful, and sparsely populated Manitoba. This new life experience and my work experience in real estate appraisal sparked my interests in environmental psychology, the study of interactions between individuals and their physical environment. I continued on with my graduate work at the University of Victoria, B.C., where I received my masters and doctoral degrees in psychology with a focus in environmental psychology.
As I move on in my career, my teaching interests have cut across several applied, non-clinical areas of psychology. My research interests remain in the environmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology areas: noise, crowding, and privacy in the work and home environments, immigrants' use of space and acculturation, and more recently, retail environments and telework. As Athabasca University students are studying at anytime from anywhere, so are most of the academic staff members working at different times from a number of locations. It just seems critically important that we understand the ramifications of this new work trend.
