New roles for Professor Robert Walker at Beijing Normal University and Harvard Kennedy School
Professor Robert Walker, Emeritus Fellow of Green Templeton College, has been newly appointed as a Professor in the China Academy of Social Management and School of Sociology, Beijing Normal University, and as a Fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School.
In the China Academy, he will continue his research on the nature of poverty in China, where, under the 14th Five Year Plan, the policy focus is expected to shift from the eradication of absolute poverty to the alleviation of relative poverty.
During his association with the Shorenstein Center, he will investigate the contention that, with the aid of international media, COVID-19 has been constructed as a political instrument in the competition for economic and ideological supremacy, albeit at the cost of many thousands of lives.
We`re delighted to be part of an inspiring project with Cheney School, connecting Oxford`s scientific heritage with the challenges of the future.
The project also gave students fascinating insight into how buildings can be adapted to a changing climate, working alongside experts to investigate sustainable design.
It`s wonderful to see the Radcliffe Observatory helping to inspire the next generation of thinkers and innovators!

Behind the scaffolding: See inside. See why it matters.
Something remarkable is happening at the Radcliffe Observatory.
Our new film takes you behind the scenes to discover the extraordinary expertise, dedication and craftsmanship involved in conserving one of Oxford`s most significant buildings. With works progressing at pace, the Observatory is entering an exciting new chapter.
The Radcliffe Observatory was created through the generosity of one generation. Its survival depends on the stewardship of another. Its legacy will be inherited by generations yet to come.
Thanks to existing supporters, important progress is already being made. But there is still much to do.
Now, we have an opportunity to play our part in securing the Observatory`s future.
