Center for Global Work and Employment Events

Join the Center for Global Work and Employment for a hybrid discussion and Q&A featuring William Hurst, Chong Hua Professor of Chinese Development at the University of Cambridge.

There is a popular English proverb: “cometh the hour, cometh the man,” the idea that right leaders will come to fore during times of uncertainty & crisis. Today this is indelibly linked to Churchill & his leadership during World War II. For many leaders across the world, “the hour” comes in times of market/business turmoil and now has come again with the COVID-19 pandemic. This talk not only grounds the topic in relevant research but uses international examples and cases to bring the topic ‘to life.’

Join Dr. Greg Distelhorst, Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto for a conversation on "Order Overload? Demand Spikes and Labor Violations in Global Supply Chains. All are welcome.
