Bio:

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Lam Family College of Business, San Francisco State University. I earned my Ph.D. in economics from the University of California at Riverside.

My research topics are situated in macro/monetary economics, consumer finances, inequality, and housing economics. My current work examines the implications of student loan debt on wealth outcomes for US households as well as the direct and indirect effects of monetary policy.

I believe in fostering an environment where education is accessible to all. I regularly advise students about the economics profession and love to collaborate with them on research. My goal is to improve diversity in the economics profession. To this end, I also serve as the CSWEP liaison and partner with R-Ladies.

I have previously worked in the area of Development Economics at the World Bank and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). I am an affiliate faculty at the Center for Applied Housing Research.

ABOUT

Sybil Yang is an Associate Professor (apologies, the listing in the margin is incorrect) at San Francisco State University, in the Department of Hostpitality & Tourism Management, within the Lam Family College of Business. Her research agenda is focused on evaluating the efficacy of restaurant menu, menu board, and wine label design tactics. On a more theoretical-level, Sybil's research interests are in consumer behavior and behavioral economics.

Sybil’s menu design research has been presented at the National Restaurant Association’s annual restaurant shows (2013 and 2010), and has been reported on and featured in (among others):

Science (online),
The Wall Street Journal (online),
Nation’s Restaurant News, Restaurants & Institutions, and
Women’s Health Magazine.

Her design and pricing recommendations have been directly implemented on hundreds of menus across the United States. Apart from her menu design research, Sybil’s current work also explores consumer decision making and how decoys can be used to change consumer behavior.

Prior to her current position at SFSU, Sybil taught menu development at the Culinary Institute of America, was a baker at artisan bread bakery Arizmendi (Zagat 25) and chef at Wente Vineyards (Zagat 25). Before finding her professional passion for the Food & Beverage Industry, Sybil was a boring investment banker with Salomon Smith Barney's media and telecommunications group, and an analyst for the venture capital firm Skipstone Ventures.

Bio:

Marcela García-Castañon is an Associate Professor in the Department Political Science, the Director of the Bay Area Research Initiative, and the Department of Political Science Undergraduate Advising Coordinator.

Dr. García-Castañon specializes in American politics, Latino politics, immigrant/immigration policy and politics, and methodology. She teaches courses that examine Race and Ethnic Politics, attitudes and socialization, as well as courses in research design and methodology.

Her research agenda analyzes notions of membership and citizenship development within immigrant communities and their connection to political and civic engagement. Her current research examines the political membership process of Mexican immigrant in the United States through familial, educational and pre-migration experiences. She engages theories of civic engagement, identity, and political socialization to establish and formulate a theory of multi-tiered membership to better examine and explain the experiences of immigrants in new nations. Dr. Garcia-Castanon completed her Ph.D. at the University of Washington, focusing her dissertation on new theories of immigrant political socialization. She was a Jacob K. Javits fellow, WISER graduate fellow and Simpson Center Borderlands Fellow during her graduate studies.

Dr. García-Castañon grew up primarily in Arizona, though she was born in Mexico and lived in California for the early part of her childhood. She is the oldest child in her family, and the first to graduate from college in the U.S. She has worked in radio and public relations and held positions as a teaching program coordinator and researcher
