Portrait of Yun Garrison

Yunkyoung L. Garrison

Granted tenure and promoted to associate professor of psychology.

Garrison’s work in and out of the classroom centers on psychological well-being and vocational outcomes among people of color and immigrant and refugee communities. Garrison is a licensed psychologist, providing clinical services in the community.

In addition to her work directly linked to psychology, Garrison has worked with Maine Community Integration, a Somali woman-led organization serving Somali girls, women, and families, and other refugees in Lewiston. Along with Bates students, Garrison and Somali community leader Fowsia Musse have created written and visual artworks, weaving in fabrics that symbolize resilience across generations and continents. This project, “Ka Bogso,” received the Award for Outstanding Community Project from the Harward Center in 2025. A scholar-activist, Garrison wants her research to be a “catalyst for individual and societal change.”
