Dou Dou is a recent graduate of the NUS-Waseda Double Degree Programme (DDP) who currently works at NSAID New Australian Institute of Social Development. Since completing the DDP, he has spent much of his time on qualitative research projects with non-profit organisations in Yunnan, and his work questions whether modernisation truly brings social development to rural villages in China. In this talk, Dou will share and discuss some of his experiences during his research in Yunnan, and will also touch on research opportunities for USP students. Dou will be joined by Li Aiyu, an experienced social worker, and USP alum Zhang Xintian (History + USP, Class of 2015) whose work at the DBS Foundation sheds some light on the application of innovative solutions to facilitate social development in China.
