Abstract

This report will focus on the scholarly contributions of Kwok Pui Lan as foundation for better understanding the beginnings of the one-child policy in China.  Her scholarly work can be seen as adding degrees of contextual understanding associated with the Chinese one-child policy and this serves to better frame the one-child policy insofar as grasping ramifications associated with it. As such, Kwok Pui Lan’s scholarly contributions enhance understanding of Chinese phenomena in that they provide a larger contextual sense of the relevant factors.   Her feminist theology positions carry over into various domains. This serves to frame understanding of such phenomena in meaningful ways and, in turn, impacts relevant ethical, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral perspectives.
