Assistant Professor
Department of Educational Counselling and Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS)
Dr. Lo is currently working on a research series, “Labeling and Knowing”, that examines the complexity of the labeling phenomenon, especially with regards to how labeling triggers the formation of self-knowledge. Rooted in positive psychology and social constructivism, Labeling and Knowing is also set out to explore some “enabling” aspects of the labeling mechanism.
