Russell Mark Jeung (Chinese: 張華耀)[1] is an Asian American sociologist at San Francisco State University. He is known for his social activism on racism towards Asian Americans and is the founder of the campaign “Stop AAPI Hate.”[2]

Biography

Jeung obtained both his Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology and Master of Arts in Education at Stanford University in 1984. He further pursued a M.A. in Sociology (1995) and a Ph.D. in Sociology at the UC Berkeley (2000).[3] His Ph.D. dissertation, entitled Emerging Asian American Pan-Ethnic Congregations: The Religious Construction of Symbolic Racial Identity was later published by Rutgers University Press, with the new title Faithful Generations: Race and new Asian American Churches.[4]

After teaching at Foothill College for two years, he joined the Department of Asian American Studies, San Francisco State University in 2002 and is current Professor at the Department.[2]

Throughout his academic career, he has received several awards, including San Francisco State University Presidential Award (2003) and Presidential Sabbatical Award (2014), and was appointed as a Fulbright scholar to visit Tamkang University, Taiwan in 2008.[1]

He involved in a number of community projects and is known for his launch of “Stop AAPI Hate” in March 2020, as a response to the increase of racism against Asian Americans during COVID-19. The project provides community resources to assist drafting policy to fight against racism.[5][6] He is also the co-producer of The Oak Park Story, a documentary about his faith-based community organizing in East Oakland among Cambodians and Latinos.[7] He perceived his community activism as a way as an obedience to God and a response to God’s call.[5]
