They also specialize in building platforms in eCommerce, logistics, internet finance, cloud computing, and smart technology.<\/p>\n<p>The most valuable part of this trip was the opportunity to build bridges and strengthen relationships with colleagues working in China, according to Director Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with researchers from other places and cultures is a great way to realize that \u2018objective\u2019 knowledge is often a reflection of a particular worldview, rather than a universal truth. It is also one of the best ways to test the fitness of one\u2019s ideas, which often have a great deal of cultural assumptions built-in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explore more pictures of Director Kelly&#8217;s trip to China by visiting&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/UTKSIS\/photos\/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1937714442980778&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAAjqdA1rji9kSqtIPVb_XrhBoYuhQ4mpihS4nh07CWJojjyA9q0yPJSR0dkpmRVXzWkapZMSd5LY_f4ZzWrOIOAUAL3wG_Hg3PxGe4C23bcIv8ZPdsYE_GTWLRXvtK3Vty5rwiH_IVtE6rvpkN3paG1jZ356Io4VA_1RxmhdYIcjjkFW-IzJmiJevWpOTKzc75H8LSKLE&amp;__tn__=-UC-R\">our Facebook album<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cci.utk.edu\/sis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/10\/nankai_uresize3.jpg\" alt=\"SIS Director Diane Kelly poses with faculty and students from Nankai University.\" title=\"SIS Director Diane Kelly poses with faculty and students from Nankai University.\" width=\"800\" height=\"543\" style=\"float: center;margin: 3px 10px\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sis.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tsinghua_ussocialcrop_0.jpg\" alt=\"Tsinghua University Computer Science Department Professor Yiqun Liu (pictured on right) served as Director Kelly\u2019s main host, where Kelly gave a talk as part of a series celebrating the 60-year anniversary of the department.\" title=\"Tsinghua University Computer Science Department Professor Yiqun Liu (pictured on right) served as Director Kelly\u2019s main host, where Kelly gave a talk as part of a series celebrating the 60-year anniversary of the department.\" width=\"265\" height=\"265\" style=\"float: left;margin: 3px 10px\"><\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of advancing cross-cultural research collaborations, SIS Director Diane Kelly toured Beijing, China last week and was a featured speaker at several academic institutions and China\u2019s largest online retailer.
