I am a former Registered Social Worker in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. I intervene in the area of children, youth and family living in underprivileged and marginalised situation, such as poverty, ethnical community, women, children with special education needs and youth-at-risk. I am interested in empowerment model with consciousness-raising, policy advocacy and community development, anti-oppressive approach, anti-racist approach, sociodrama, photovoice, radical casework approach and narrative therapy to work with the underprivileged class.
I engaged in social work education for more than 10 years. I am currently a Lecturer teaching social and community work.
My focuses are: social theory and social policy, youth and socio-political participation, marginality and empowerment, and art-based intervention.
I am a former chairperson of Hong Kong Policy Viewers that advocates the development of Hong Kong social policy.
