Biography

Lee was born in Suzhou, China, in 1935.[3] She attended Mount Union College, in Ohio, on a full scholarship.[2] She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and mathematics in 1957.[1] She went on to attend Ohio State University, completing a Master's degree in clinical psychology in 1959 and a Ph.D. in developmental psychology in 1968.[3]

Lee joined the faculty at Cornell University in 1968, becoming the institution's first woman professor of Asian ancestry.[3][2] In 1987, she became the founding director of Cornell's Asian American Studies Program.[2] At Cornell, Lee taught courses and conducted research in developmental psychology and in Asian-American identity and history.[1][2]

With Nolan W. Zane, she was the co-editor of the first edition of The Handbook of Asian American Psychology, published in 1998.[4]

While a Fulbright scholar at the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 1992 through 1994, Lee became the founding director of the Hong Kong-American Center.[1][5] The mission of the Center is to promote cross-cultural understanding between Hong Kong and American communities.[5]

Lee retired from Cornell in 2004.[3][2]

In 2006, she died at her home in Ithaca, New York, at the age of 70.[3][2]
