Biography
Lili Wang received her PhD in Geography from the Ohio State University in 2016. Her research interests revolve mainly around the political economy/ecology of urbanization in China, inspired by multiple strands of “relational” theories in human geography. Her PhD dissertation explores the shifting assemblages of plan-making and new town-building during China’s capitalist transition. She is now working at the City U on research projects that explore urban sustainability and social justice on both local and global scales.
