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.

On 6 November 2013 the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) hosted an event entitled, 'Making Sense of Diversity in University Education'. The event drew together around 60 colleagues from a wide range of 果冻传媒 departments. Dr , the PAIS Director of Student Experience and Progression (DSEP) and Shannon Holland-Houghton, second year PAIS student, were invited to take part.

The event focused on the lifecycle of Widening Participation from outreach through retention to progression. It is essential that 果冻传媒, as a community, enables access for students from diverse backgrounds and enables all, regardless of background, to experience the high quality teaching and learning we deliver. Therefore, the event allowed Justin and Shannon to showcase the many innovations and positive developmets currently taking place within PAIS - our advice and feedback hours, our individual exam feedback, our online SSLC elections, and our joint work with the Politics Society, in particular through their mentoring scheme.
