Richard M Lee, PhD is the Distinguished McKnight University Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. He has been conducting research on the cultural life experiences and adjustment of Korean adoptees since 2000. Using longitudinal, survey, and mixed-method approaches, he specifically focuses on adoptees' and their families' experiences with cultural socialization, perceived discrimination, ethnic identity development, birth family search and thoughts, and most recently genetic testing. Dr. Lee also has begun to study Korean adoptees as parents themselves and how they approach raising their own children.
