In the first video of this year’s annual faculty mini-lecture series, Tiffany Yip, Ph.D., chair and professor of the psychology department, explains how racism and the environment can impact students’ sleep.

Yip has explored the human relationship with ethnic identity in more than 50 peer-reviewed papers. Her research specifically focuses on ethnic identity development among underrepresented populations, the association between ethnic identity and psychological adjustment, and the impact of ethnic-specific and general stressors on people’s well-being. Her work on racial and ethnic identity was featured in a 2019 Fordham News Q&A.
