Dr. Russell M. Jeung

Dr. Russell M. Jeung, professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University and a leading sociologist of race, religion, and social movements, was named one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people of 2021, in recognition of his work launching Stop AAPI Hate. Stop AAPI Hate is a U.S.-based coalition dedicated to fighting racism and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. As the nation's largest reporting center tracking anti-AAPI hate acts, the coalition works to create a safer, more equitable future for all.  Jeung, who learned to integrate social activism and faith as a community activist in his East Oakland's Murder Dubs neighborhood, asks difficult questions about longing and belonging, wealth and poverty, and how living in exile can transform your faith. Join Malcolm Clemens Young for a conversation with Jeung about vital issues for us today: immigration, inequity, and taking faithful action.
