IU McKinney Law Welcomes Visiting Scholars from China
12/21/2015
On December 7, Professor Tom Wilson welcomed Professor Li Xiaoming from Xi’an Jiaotong University School of Law in Xi’an, China. She arrived in Indianapolis with her daughter Li Anqi and will spend time studying and working at IU McKinney School of Law until December 2016.
Professor Li’s research focuses on the intersection of law and technology. More specifically, she is interested in research cooperation between government and industry and the balancing of intellectual property rights between public and private sectors.
Professor Li joins another visiting scholar, Liu Xiaodan. She is an English instructor in Qingdao and is a legal translation specialist. Liu has come to IU McKinney School of Law to study the theories and techniques relating to translation of legal terms and concepts between legal systems. She plans to specialize in simultaneous translation at law conferences and in translating law articles from English to Chinese and Chinese to English. Liu arrived on September 19 and will remain at IU McKinney School of Law until September 2016.
Liu and Li are the 24th and 25th Chinese scholars to visit IU McKinney School of Law since 2009. Their visits have been facilitated by the Joint Center for Asian Law Studies, which is co-directed by Professor Wilson in the U.S. and by Professor Ding Xiangshun in China. A list of Chinese visiting scholars can be found at http://mckinneylaw.iu.edu/asian-law/visitors.html.
