Long bio:
Christine Ma-Kellams is a Pushcart-nominated writer, Harvard-trained cultural psychologist, and college professor who occupies the rare intersection where story- telling meets an empirical understanding of what makes people tick. She received her Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and completed two postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University before her current position as an associate professor at San Jose State University. Her empirical studies on culture, social perception and relationships have also been widely covered in GQ (Australia), Esquire (Middle East), Boston Globe, Vice News, Elle Magazine (UK), the Atlantic, Yahoo News, MSN News, Fox News, New York Post, and Daily Mail. Her academic text, Cultural Psychology: Cross- and Multicultural Perspectives, has been adopted in classes at college campuses across the U.S. and overseas. Her short stories and essays have appeared in ZYZZVA, Kenyon Review, Saturday Evening Post, the Rumpus, Prairie Schooner, Wall Street Journal, HuffPost, Chicago Tribune, and elsewhere.
