Dr. Lee Trevor Tsz-lok is an associate professor and associate head in the Department of Education Policy and Leadership at the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK). A sociologist by training, Dr. Lee applies his expertise to education, particularly inequality and stratification, parenting, and policy. His research has a strong social justice agenda. In pursuing his research agenda, he is particularly interested in the question of why - specifically, seeking to understand what underlying mechanisms contribute to existing inequalities, rather than simply proposing solutions from the outset. His work has been published in Sociology, Current Sociology, British Journal of Sociology of Education, Educational Review, Educational Management, Administration & Leadership, among others. Dr. Lee has been appointed to serve on the Editorial Boards of the world's leading SSCI journals: British Journal of Sociology of Education and Current Sociology.
