Chen is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Utah. A California native, she now lives and works in Salt Lake City. The majority of her research focuses on understanding how monoracial people (White Americans, Asian Americans, Black Americans) perceive and view multiracial individuals, specifically whether they are likely to view multiracial people as fellow group members. 

In this episode, she and I discuss fitting in or belonging from the perspective of "perceivers", those who try to discern the racial or ethnic background of others.

To see more of Jackie's work, check out a recent article that she published with her graduate student, Jasmine Norman: "I Am Multiracial".
