Teaching and Research Interests

Dr. Jing Lin is currently an associate professor in the Department of Education Policy and Leadership at University of Maryland, College Park. She specializes in International Comparative Education (with a focus on East Asia) and social/cultural foundation of education. She taught and researched in related fields at McGill University (Canada) for more than eight years prior to her appointment at University of Maryland in 2000.

Dr. Lin’s research has focused on the social and political transformations in China since 1978. In the country’s dramatic redistribution of power and opportunities, she has given close attention to the issue of educational equality, and her research has touched on a broad range of issues relating to education for ethnic minorities, women’s social status and girls’ education, reform policies and dilemmas facing primary and secondary education, expansion of higher education, and development of private education and new social stratifications. She has also done a significant amount of research and teaching on education for global peace, and spirituality and education. She has published four books, The Red Guards’ Path to Violence (1991), Education in Post-Mao China (1993), The Opening of the Chinese Mind (1994), and Social Transformation and Private Education in China (1999). Her fifth book: School for Love: Education in the 21st century is in writing.
