Ph.D. in American Civilization, George Washington University Professor of Urban Planning
Phone: (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Professor Hune approaches her research from the
standpoint of critical theory and the social construction of race, gender, and the
"other." Such an approach also argues for the recentering of scholarship,
teaching, and practice to incorporate the perspectives, analyses, and values of racial
minorities, women, low-income communities, and post-colonial states. She studies
immigration--her primary focus--as both a domestic and global phenomenon, with particular
attention to female immigrants, Asian American communities, and the impact of immigration
on race and ethnic relations in the U.S. She has served as a consultant to the
United Nations and its NGOs on migration and human rights issues, especially the formation
and ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members
of Their Families.
For over two decades, Professor Hune has also
been involved in the development of Asian American Studies and ethnic studies in
general. Her current research includes Asian American women's history and
communities, women and minorities in higher education, and education as a site for the
study of race, gender, and culture in the urban environment.
Currently, she is serving as the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs in UCLA's Graduate Division.
