Background
Associate Professor Bongki Woo joined the faculty of the College of Social Work in 2018.
Woo’s research focuses on the health and mental health of racial, ethnic and immigrant minority populations. His primary research seeks to understand the specific conditions under which social sources of stress explain the link between race/ethnicity and mental health. He also has published on the topics of stress and stress reactions, neighborhood environments and civic action.
Woo received his Ph.D. from the Boston College School of Social Work in May 2018 and previously earned his Master of Social Work degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
