Sue Hum

Sue Hum serves as Professor of English in the Department of English at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), College of Liberal and Fine Arts, where she has held significant administrative roles including Undergraduate Advisor of Record and Assistant Dean of Assessment for the Quality Enhancement Plan.

She investigates how racialized gazes operate in cultural artifacts like Disney's Mulan while developing pedagogical approaches for integrating numerical reasoning into professional writing instruction, bridging theoretical composition studies with practical classroom applications.

Publications reveal consistent thematic evolution from foundational work in Asian American rhetoric (2006-2010) toward contemporary explorations of quantitative literacy in technical writing (2017), demonstrating sustained engagement with critical race theory's application to writing pedagogy and digital communication environments.
