Professor recently participated in the panel "China's Third Plenum: Another Turning Point?" at , London.

Following the Third Plenum of the Communist Party’s 18th Central Committee in November 2013, the panel offers their thoughts on whether the economic, political and social reforms announced, such as the relaxation of the one child policy and establishment of a national security council, signal a new era for China’s domestic and foreign policies. The speakers consider how significant these reforms will be in comparison to those announced in 1978 by Deng Xiaoping following the Third Plenum of the 11th Central Committee.

Hungry for Feedback

Hungry for Feedback is the SU’s annual campaign gathering student opinions on the feedback they receive from their departments. This year they will be focusing on the quality rather than the timeliness of the feedback.

The aim of the survey is to help the SU find out what the students believe is the most beneficial feedback and to recognise where they are particularly happy with the feedback provided. We will also be aiming to put together a “good feedback guidebook” that will be useful for students to know what they expect, postgraduates that teach for some extra guidance, and departments looking to improve their feedback quality.
