Dr. Yang has conducted interviews and surveys with Chinese immigrant parents and the manuscripts are currently under review. Another project Dr. Yang is working now with her preservice teachers focuses on arousing their awareness of diversity and inclusion in their classrooms via multicultural picture books.
