Bio
Kang is a co-author of "Reimagining the Judiciary (2021)." The book analyzes how all-men high courts came to an end and why some high courts have more women justices than others. Kang is also the author of “Bargaining for Women’s Rights (2015),” which analyzed social movements in the Muslim-majority country of Niger. In some cases Muslim women have won new rights to political participation, reproductive health and education, while in others their efforts have been stymied. Kang specializes in comparative politics with an emphasis on Africa.
