Professor ADELLE BLACKETT, Ad. E., who holds the
Canada Research Chair in Transnational Labour Law
and Development, Chen’s doctoral research explores
the protection of labour rights in the context of
Chinese investment in Africa.
“China’s political and economic engagement with
Africa has generated intriguing debates in the academic
and policy arenas, because such engagement has — and
will continue to have — implications for both economic
development and social justice in Africa. China’s
approach to labour issues in its outward investments
will have considerable impacts on workers, both on the
African continent and in other transnational contexts,”
Chen explains.

McGill Bicentennial:
Leading in Law
Across Time
by Sarah Huzarski
In March 2021, McGill will celebrate its 200th birthday.
Throughout the 2020/21 academic year, dozens of events
will take place to mark the milestone and each Faculty has been
called upon to create a unique Bicentennial Project as part of
the festivities. For the occasion, the Faculty of Law will be
turning (and creating) a page in McGill’s history with a unique
commemorative project of its own.
