Biography
Associate Professor Zhiqiong June Wang, LLM (Sydney), PhD (UNSW), joined the School of Law at Western Sydney University in 2010. Before entering academia, June worked as a lawyer in Beijing, specialising in foreign investment law, international trade regulation and intellectual property law.
June’s research areas are in Chinese law, international economic law, dispute resolution, and comparative law. Her recent publications include a monograph, Dispute Resolution in the PRC: The Evolving Institutions and Mechanisms (with J Chen, Brill, London/Leiden, 2019), which covers in-depth examination of litigation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), the development of the legal profession, and judicial reforms in China. She has also recently completed a major research project on international trade regulation, with the outcome (International Trade Regulation: Evolving Dynamics and Shifting Foundations, Routledge) to be published in early 2023.
June is a country rapporteur (China) for the Lex-Atlas: Covid-19 (LAC19) project – a global academic project mapping legal responses to Covid-19. Through this project, June contributes to The Oxford Compendium of National Legal Responses to Covid-19. The Project is led by the Faculty of Law, University College London, but further supported by the Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London, and the Max Planck Institute of Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany, as well as the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Leverhulme Trust.
June teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as supervising PhD students. She has created the program "A Comparative Study on Chinese Law and Transnational Legal Practice" which won the New Colombo Plan grants of more than $250,000. June received the Western Sydney University Teaching Citation Awards in 2016.
June was the inaugural Director (International)/Associate Dean (International) (2015-2022) during which she led the Law School’s new and innovative development of partnerships between institutions and external opportunities for staff and students, including training programs for overseas judiciary, academic members and students. More generally, June actively engages in and contributes to international exchange and cooperation initiatives at Western Sydney University.
June is an arbitrator of the Shenzhen International Court of Arbitration (also known as Shenzhen Arbitration Commission). She also serves as a member of the International Editorial Board of the Law in Context (Australia) and a member of the Advisory Board for the international journal Transnational Law and Politics Research (Macau). She is frequently invited to deliver guest lectures, seminars, and conference papers internationally.
