Kelly Jackson is an associate professor in the School of Social Work within the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions at Arizona State University. She earned her master's degree from the University at Albany, and her doctorate in social welfare from the University at Buffalo, SUNY. As a social worker and multiracial person, Jackson is committed to expanding the current knowledge base of multiracial identity through the dissemination of empirical research to help social workers and other helping professionals work more inclusively and responsibly with the growing population of individuals who identify with two or more races. Her research examines the identity development and overall wellbeing of persons of mixed racial/ethnic heritage, and culturally attuned research and practice with marginalized populations.
