I traveled to China in June/July 2024 to present at
an international conference and for additional academic visits.
The Global Experience and
China’s Development: International Conference on Innovation in Long-term Care
Public Policies Theories and Practices was held at Shandong
University, Qingdao Campus, 17-21 June 2024.

Introduction to my keynote address, offered by
conference organizer, Professor Mi Hong, School of Public Affairs, Zhejiang
University…
After the
conference, I traveled to Hangzhou to speak at Zhejiang University, Zijingang Campus.
With
Professor Mi Hong’s team…
I also presented
to and met with faculty and students in the Institute for Elders and
Children at Ningbo University of Technology. We had a lively
discussion about disability and aging.
In Chengdu,
although I didn’t deliver a formal presentation (as it was summer vacation), I
met with faculty and students from Southwestern University of Finance and
Economics.
