Mee Young Um is an assistant professor at the School of Social Work in the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions at Arizona State University. Before joining ASU, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern California. She earned her MSW from the University of Michigan and PhD from the University of Southern California. Her broad research interests are identifying social and cultural determinants (e.g., trauma, discrimination, acculturation, intimate partner violence) of behavioral health among transnational populations, such as refugees, immigrants, and other historically oppressed racial and ethnic communities. Specifically, she uses systems science approaches, such as social network analysis, to inform the development of evidence-based interventions for enhancing social integration, behavioral health, and overall well-being of these marginalized populations.
