Biography

Sung Hyun Yun is an Associate Professor in the School of Social Work. He has taught in the areas of generalist social work practice, research, internship seminar, and abuse/violence in the family and community. As a social work scholar who works with/for the community, he has developed a series of research efforts grounded in anti-oppressive perspectives, human empowerment, and pro-feminist frameworks embedded in global and interdisciplinary context. Dr. Yun's research aims not only to generate knowledge and understanding about people in need and societal challenges, but more importantly, to develop effective treatment and intervention directly applicable to social work practice. He has endeavoured through the aforementioned project (immigrants, refugees, and survivors of torture, human trafficking, interpersonal violence, and addiction) to highlight the interdisciplinary scholarship of his research, which attempts to make a positive difference to individuals, groups, and communities. Dr. Yun's research also highlights the importance of evidence-based and outcome-driven teaching/learning components that are judiciously integrated with effective social work practice.
