ABSTRACT
Jennifer Lee is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine. She earned her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University and was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford (2002-2003). She is the author of Civility in the City: Blacks, Jews, and Koreans in Urban America (Harvard University Press, 2002). Her current research project with Frank D. Bean examines how immigration and racial/ethnic diversity affect multiracial identification. Using data from the 2000 Census combined with in-depth interviews, Lee and Bean study the way interracial couples identify their children and multiracial adults negotiate their identities. Her research interests include immigration, the new second generation, race and ethnic relations, and multiracial identification.
