Qian Fang received her PhD in Social Policy in 2018. She was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Social Policy Research Centre, University of New South Wales (2018-2021) before she joined UniSA Justice and Society, University of South Australia in 2022.
Qian’s expertise is in culturally responsive disability policy and practice for people with disability and their families from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, particularly focusing on peer support networks run by and for people with disability and their families from CALD backgrounds, disability organisations working with CALD communities for culturally responsive practice and comparative research on the international Chinese community.
Qian brings to teaching her engagement with disability and CALD communities to help students understand cultural responsiveness in working with people from various cultural backgrounds, a key knowledge and skill for a social worker in the time of globalisation.
