Speaker: Ruth Hayhoe

In this roundtable-format sharing session, Ruth Hayhoe looks back at
her experiences of collaborations between academics and universities
in Canada and China, and sheds light on the paths to be taken for
continued and sustainable conversations between scholarly communi-
ties in the west and the east. She will draw upon the experience of
university partnerships across a number of disciplines and a fairly
lengthy period of time, as well as reflecting on implications for emerging
scholars. Her talk will also enlighten those who look forward to the next
year conference: “Transforming Canada-China Educational Cooperation:
Significant Legacies and Future Challenges” (Beijing, May 9-14, 2014) co-
organized by Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University
of Toronto, York University, the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, and
Tsinghua University.
