Hi, I’m Eugene Hung, and I really appreciate your taking the time to visit with me here! My wife and I live in Southern California, and we’re the proud parents of two Asian American daughters, ages 18 and 16. My experiences with my girls and my advocacy on their behalf have provided the fodder for my commentary on parenting, gender, race, and culture.
In addition to authoring this blog since 2016, I’m a calculus and pre-calculus teacher, holding California and Texas credentials in both math and social studies. Previously, I worked as an educator at the University of California, Irvine in the Campus Assault Resources and Education (CARE) office. Before that, I was on the paid staff of the nonprofit Man Up Campaign as a movement organizer and digital communications manager. And before even that, I served for more than 12 years as a full-time church minister. I hold a Th.M. degree in leadership, a B.A. in math and political science, and a state certification as a sexual assault victim advocate.
I’ve been a featured speaker or panelist in Southern California and across the country at colleges, conferences, and churches, and I’ve been interviewed by media outlets that include LAist 89.3FM (formerly Southern California Public Radio KPCC), National Public Radio (NPR), the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and the Orange County Register. My writing has also appeared either online or in print for organizations that include HuffPost, Sojourners, Red Letter Christians, and The Mary Sue.
The best way to contact me is over social media (see icons under “Comlinks” on this site). I hope your time here is insightful and heartwarming! I look forward to learning from you, too ☺
