Prof. Juyeon Lee

Assistant Professor

How can we ensure inclusive and equitable developmental conditions for each and every child to thrive? This is the overarching question that my research seeks to address. Deeply rooted in my personal and practice experiences, my research has focused on two areas of inquiry: (1) understanding and explaining social inequalities as manifested in children’s social and emotional well-being outcomes, and (2) building an evidence base for successful implementation of preventive interventions that are both effective and equity-enhancing. My current research projects are centered around school-based universal social and emotional learning (SEL), particularly focusing on the roles of teachers. I joined the University of Hong Kong in 2022 as an Assistant Professor of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration.
