Lihua Wang
Dr. Lihua Wang is currently the coordinator of the Women's Studies Program at Northeastern University in Boston. She is an Associate in Research at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. As a recipient of the Ford Foundation, she conducted research fieldwork regarding economic development and micro-credit for rural women in rural China. Her articles about her research have been published in both English and Chinese.
A book collection, Globalization and its Chinese Discontents: Feminist Critiques, by Lihua Wang, was published by Peking University Press in April 2008. This book contains eight chapters, all of which were written by Chinese feminist scholars. It attempts to capture critical debates on globalization, situated in a post September 11 discourse, that examine issues from local, Chinese, and feminist perspectives.
Dr. Wang uses her teaching opportunities to address feminist activism by offering a Service Learning class. This hands-on class is valuable because it brings an important aspect of civic engagement to college life.
