Dr. Wang is a lecturer of law at the College of Humanities and Law, South China Agricultural University, in Guangzhou, China. She has been an Amicus Curiae of the Guangzhou Juvenile Court since 2008, and a mediator at the Tianhe District Court of Guangzhou since September 2014. Her current research focuses on juvenile welfare legislation, with an emphasis on child protection rights. She has published several articles in Chinese academic journals which take a closer look at migrant children’s education rights, welfare law, and custody law. The goal of her project is to demonstrate the need for a government that effectively responds to the rights of children through the creation and implementation of child welfare legislation, while also acknowledging the role of Chinese society in hindering such objectives. While at Emory, Dr. Wang intends to apply a vulnerability theory framework to her research, and to further explore vulnerability theory within a Chinese socio-legal context.
