He deploys a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including critical youth participatory action research and meta-analysis, to better understand 促进边缘化青年的发展. 作为一名前高中英语老师， he approaches this work from the intersection of educational studies, developmental psychology, and critical pedagogy, and his work encourages young people to see themselves 作为知识的创造者和变革的推动者.

• International Education Week (IEW) - International LBGTQ+ Roundtable | November 20, 2019

  • This roundtable discussion focused on the complexity and challenges of international 校园里的LGBTQ+学生和教师. 国际LGBTQ+学生经常面临问题 with internalized homophobia, experience fear of persecution upon repatriation, and struggle to find a supportive community, in addition to the challenges all international students experience. It is imperative that those who interact with and serve international LGBTQ+ students understand the ways that students' multiple identities - as international students, as non-heterosexual students, as racial or ethnic minorities, and potentially other identities - combine to impact the cultural adjustment and transition they face. Drs. Choi and Marx provided resources that helped these students develop healthy sexual identity and social relationships as well as other resources and tips for international LGBTQ+ students and those who teach, support, mentor, or care about them.

    Message from Dr. Kyoung Mi Choi

    “欢迎，新的国际学生! 我叫崔京美，是一名律师 上海大学辅导员教育学系教授.  I was an international student from South Korea when I first came to the United States in 2001. I remember learning and navigating the cultural differences and norms were both exciting and challenging. Compared to U.S. 韩国文化更加集体和保守. It was not easy for me to explore and embrace my own sexual orientation in a new culture. However, I can say that it has been the most inspiring and healing journey. I’d like 和大家分享我的故事，也想听听你们的故事. I hope you can join us.” 

    Message from Dr. Robert Marx

    “Hi, there! 我很高兴见到你们大家! 我是罗伯特·马克思，我是助理 上海大学儿童与青少年发展教授. 我在弗吉尼亚州长大 U.S., lived abroad as a student in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and worked abroad in Singapore. I definitely had to adjust to new ways of thinking about gender and sexuality, not 只住在美国以外.S. 而且从南方到北方再到 West Coast. I’d love to talk more with you about gender and sexuality, and I’d love to get to know you! I also hope that Kyoung Mi and I can answer any questions you might have!”
