您的种族和种族如何影响您作为教师和学生的学术职业?
GS: I am a 1.5 generation immigrant from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. I consider both Hong Kong and the United States to be my homesteads. I bring up that part of my identity because it mutually informed my development as a student, later faculty. The field of public health developed significantly in my lifetime. My family and I gained a deeper understanding of public health owing to SARS, which had a deep impact on Hong Kong in 2003. Witnessing that epidemic and health disparities inspired me to enter the field, and I was among the first class to minor in public health as an undergraduate student at UCLA. I learned about the COVID-19 pandemic from reading Chinese news in late 2019. I understand the logic of China's current Zero-COVID Policy owing to my upbringing, knowledge about the Chinese health reform, and the year I spent in Beijing as a Fulbright-Fogarty Fellow. I see my academic career as a bridge between cultures and contexts.

Does race/ethnicity play a role in your research? If so, how?
GS:确实如此。我写了硕士学位论文关于美国AAPI移民在抑郁症的第一次发作后未能开始治疗的论文。这是我从对酒精及相关疾病的国家流行病学调查的分析中发现的具有统计学意义的关系。在最近对亚裔美国人的攻击之后,我和几位合作者研究了美国的研究,以研究美国冠状病毒污名之间的关系与美国亚洲人之间的心理困扰如何相关。beplay苹果手机能用吗在全国代表性样本中(article)。beplay苹果手机能用吗研究一直是我解决生活经验问题的方式,并对AAPI社区明显的社会问题做出了反应。

在随后的几年中,我对研究中国的卫生系统改革产生了积极的兴趣。beplay苹果手机能用吗自2009年当代改革启动以来,我将强调中国政府在加强其国家卫生系统方面取得的巨大进展,并将其与我的研讨会课程“比较卫生系统”相提并论。我在中国医院对我们的两个博士生Yijiong Yang和Yiqun Wang进行了一项持续的研究。最后,我作为乔治·H·W(George H.W.布什中国美国 - 中国基金会。

您如何克服逆境?
GS:在这里,我想提出非洲的观念Ubuntu(“我是我通过别人的人”)和中国的概念公志,或一个关系和社交网络的系统,可以促进交易,因为我根本无法单独克服逆境,尤其是在过去两年中。像其他初级教师一样,我们兼顾研究,教学和服务承诺。beplay苹果手机能用吗我们也一直在集体处理疾病,死亡和社会运动(即黑人生活问题)。没有我的导师丽贝卡·威尔斯(Rebecca Wells)博士的社会支持,我在Uthealth Public Health的出色同事,以及其他想法(包容,多样性,公平和倡导)委员会成员,我无法克服各自专业和个人方面的逆境。。

On a lighter note, boxing helps! During advising sessions with students, I bring up when appropriate, is the quadfecta to wellness: exercise, diet, sleep, and stress management.

是什么激励和启发您?
GS:我接受了管理和组织理论的培训,当时是一名博士生,并在第一次阅读佳能中的开创性论文时会回想起。阅读研究(真正的beplay苹果手机能用吗高质量研究)仍然激励我继续在医疗保健和公共卫生部门应用和扩展社会学理论。例如,我遵循了围绕这一假设的争议,即员工流动性是密切的组织精神障碍传染的驱动力(article)。

我还从其他领域的不同媒介工作的名人中汲取灵感。出于此个人资料的目的,想到的名字是I. M. Pei(建筑师),Ocean Vuong(诗人),Anish Kapoor(雕塑家),Chloe Zhao(导演)和Danny Bowien(Chef)。

学生,教职员工和工作人员可以做什么来庆祝亚洲太平洋遗产月?
GS:亚裔美国人被称为美国社会结构中必不可少的线索。他们的宝贵,多种贡献值得强调。还需要同时解决其他为期一个月的纪念活动以及重要的多样性,公平和包容日历日期。例如,可能的月份也恰好是心理健康意识月,因此应增加注意力以解决AAPI社区内的心理健康。

您能谈谈让亚洲和太平洋岛民代表公共卫生的重要性吗?
GS: It is so important. There was no road map for a scholar like me, someone whose interests lie at the intersection of management, mental health, and global health. I didn't have a reference point early in my career even though I am fortunate enough to have mentors who guided me in every stage of my training. I realized as I was rising through the ranks that I had to carve out that role in academia.

我不仅会邀请亚洲和太平洋岛民,而且有色人种成为这一代公共卫生研究人员和从业人员的一部分,尤其是那些人口关注的人。beplay苹果手机能用吗
