Abstract: Li Huiying, born in 1957, is Professor of Sociology and assistant Director of the Women Research Center of the Central Party School, a school providing training for senior level Chinese Communist Party officials. The Center is housed within the School, but runs as an independent unit. Professor Li is the major figure to promote gender related courses in the Central Party School and has succeeded in incorporating courses on gender studies in the official curriculum. In recent years her activism has expanded beyond the Central Party School to include the whole system of the party school by running feminist workshops for faculty from provincial and municipal party schools nationwide. Professor Li has also published widely on gender and public policy.
