Shanghai, China
On 19-22 December, I made a quick trip to China for a gathering of
researchers at Fudan University to consider Baha'i-inspired research
strategies for the years ahead. We had a wide range of specializations
including education, philosophy, international law, political science,
research methodologies, governance and sustainability. We made plans to
carry forward our work on values-based learning and indicators,
international governance and accountability, and implementing the
sustainable development goals. There was time the first night to go
down to the Bund, the heart of colonial Shanghai, and to admire the
lights of the skyline along the river.
