Education Publications Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Shirley Hune received her Ph.D. from The George Washington University in American Studies. She has a long standing interest in international migration studies with attention to the history and experiences of Asian American and Pacific Islander populations. She uses an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates the standpoint of critical theory and race, ethnic, gender, and class perspectives. Her earlier research focused on the global concerns of "third-world" (non-aligned) states and international policy on migrant workers. Her current research focuses on access, climate, and social justice issues for first-generation, immigrant, minority and women students in higher education.

Prior to joining UW in 2007, Professor Hune served as Associate Dean of the Graduate Division and Professor of Urban Planning at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) for fifteen years. There she was the PI of NSF grants to increase graduate diversity in STEM and social sciences doctoral programs. Previous to that, she taught at Hunter College and Medgar Evers College in the City University of New York.

Over the years, Dr. Hune has been a consultant to the Association of American Colleges & Universities, ETS, the College Board and other national organizations. She has also advised the New York City Board of Education and the Portland Public School district on curricum and diversity matters. Currently, she is a member of the Research Advisory Councils of the Gates Millennium Scholars Program and the Washington State Achievers Scholarship Program, both funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She is the project director on a "Closing the Achievement Gap" analysis of Asian American and Pacific Islander K-12 sutdents in Washington State (July 2008-June 2009) under the auspices of the Governor's Commission on Asian and Pacific American Affairs.
