Tim Oakes: Leading Multiple Workshops, Research Grants and Public Outreach
Professor Oakes is the Principal Investigator on the ChinaMade project, where he organized and hosted the 4th ChinaMade (“From ‘China Model’ to Global China”) in May at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. This was the final workshop of the ChinaMade project and featured scholars from the US, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sweden. Professor Emily Yeh of the Department of Geography also participated.
As a result of a workshop Prof. Oakes co-organized in Switzerland last year, ChinaMade has co-published two on Chinese export development. These factsheets are public-facing and intended for a more general audience (in addition to the scholarly work and books published by Oakes).
And as Principal Investigator on the Tale of Two Asia’s project, Oakes also organized a workshop last April in Boulder on “China’s Nuclear Belt & Road: Socio-technical Perspectives on China’s Expert Nuclear Infrastructures.” The workshop featured presentations by scholars from the US, Canada, Australia and India.
