She has more than two dozen publications in print and received the Chancellor’s Award for Distinguished Teaching at UMass Boston in 2016. Her research, teaching and creative activities involve: (1) developing collaborative and participatory knowledge-building models, research methodologies, and ethnic studies pedagogies; (2) modeling and agenda-setting for AANAPISI/MSI research and development; and (3) community-based research and documentation, particularly in local Khmer, Vietnamese and Chinese diasporic communities.

As co-principal investigator, co- investigator, or collaborator with partners at UMass Boston and other higher education institutions, Dr. Tang has contributed to garnering substantial funding to support research, curriculum development, community engagement and other projects from the U.S. Department of Education, National Endowment for Humanities, National Institutes for Health, Corporation for National and Community Service, Association of American Colleges and Universities, the Rockefeller Foundation, among other organizations.
