BIOGRAPHY

Sophie Lee is a researcher specializing in disability inclusion, legal and cultural systems, and youth equity in Asia. Her work applies transdisciplinary approaches to examine how legal frameworks, institutional structures, and cultural norms shape access, representation, and opportunity.

In 2025, she presented and published her research paper, Reimagining Disability Inclusion in Hong Kong: A Transdisciplinary Analysis of Legal and Cultural Dynamics, contributing to ongoing discourse on inclusive policy and practice. She has supported research across the Faculty of Arts and the Department of Psychology at The University of Hong Kong, spanning court interpretation, inclusive education, and character strengths in autistic young people.

Her portfolio includes collaboration with NGOs and civil society organisations on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, including a year long pro bono disability inclusion project with Sensational Foundation. She is also the author of Unspoken Defense: Navigating Law and Life with Invisible Challenges, a self published book that explores the intersection of neurodiversity, mental health, and the pursuit of a legal career.

Sophie is currently pursuing a BA & LLB at The University of Hong Kong, strengthening her expertise at the intersection of law, research, and inclusive policy design.
