SUMMARY:Web3: Transforming Business\, Justice\, and Art
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar on Web3\, our panel of experts will discuss recent advancements in blockchain technology and discuss its implications on conventional business models\, decentralized community governance\, and the art market. Following the presentations\, a moderated panel discussion will engage in a thought-provoking conversation to uncover insights into the broader implications of blockchain-based governance in socioeconomic and legal contexts\, as well as decentralized ecosystems. \nJoin us for this seminar\, as we explore the exciting possibilities and challenges of Web 3.0 and the role of blockchain technology in shaping our future. \nSpeakers and Panelists: \n\nDr Daniel C. Burnett: Dr Daniel C. Burnett is the Executive Director of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance\, a recognised blockchain leader and prominent standards expert. With over two decades of experience in web and Internet standards\, Daniel has a stellar reputation as an action-oriented leader helping to build ecosystems for blockchain and the standards that drive interoperability and adoption. He has served as a Blockchain Standards Architect at ConsenSys\, an Ethereum-focused blockchain organisation where he developed standards that enabled businesses to take advantage of blockchain’s potential.\n\n  \n\nMs Jamilya Kamalova: Jamilya Kamalova is a researcher at Kleros.io\, specialising in decentralised dispute resolution. She is a PhD candidate in Blockchain & Law\, affiliated with Kleros.io\, Blockchaingov.eu\, and Université Paris 2 Panthéon Assas.

She is also a visiting scholar at HKU Faculty of Law for fall 2023/2024. Jamilya’s academic research encompasses blockchain governance\, decentralised dispute resolution\, constitutionalisation\, and legal regulatory regimes.\n\n  \n\nDr Tom McDonald: Tom is a media anthropologist who is dedicated to using ethnographic engagement to gain a deeper understanding of how digital technologies\, media\, and material culture are transforming various aspects of human life in China and beyond. He joined the Department of Sociology at HKU in August 2015\, and prior to that\, he was a Research Associate at the Department of Anthropology\, University College London. Tom’s research has increasingly focused on economic concerns\, particularly in light of the rapid convergence between digital money and media in China and the wider world. He has recently completed two major projects in this area. The first project examines the adoption of digital payment and consumer finance platforms and their impact on financial subjectivities. The second project explores the potential of digital money in facilitating everyday cross-boundary money transactions. Currently\, Tom is in the early stages of a new project that examines how NFTs are transforming processes of collection\, exchange\, and production in the Hong Kong art market.\n\nDate: 30 October\, 2023 (Monday) \nTime: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nVenue: MB150\, Main Building \nPlease register at https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?ueid=90987 before Oct 29\, 2023.

In this talk\, I will start with a literature review on cultural heritage crowdsourcing. A preliminary conceptual framework will be presented to illustrate the intellectual development of this field. Later\, I will report two empirical investigations to discuss the critical issues regarding the sustainability of cultural heritage crowdsourcing projects. The first study will use the machine learning approach to explore imbalanced volunteer engagement in a well-known project. The second study will use the fsQCA approach to examine the configuration effects affecting the sustainability of cultural heritage crowdsourcing projects. \n  \nBio: Yuxiang Chris Zhao is a professor in the School of Information Management at Nanjing University\, China.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Earth Stories: Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Earth Stories: Hong Kong \nWEBINAR \nA Transdisciplinary Art\, Ecology\, and Research Project \nEarth Stories: Hong Kong explores new habits of thought and feeling that emerge along the edges of Hong Kong’s cultural and natural worlds. Based at the KFBG Green Hub in Tai Po\, the project includes expressions by flora and fauna\, sky and earth\, poets\, film-makers\, voice-artists\, dancers\, and transdisciplinary undergraduate student researchers. \nKanta Kochhar-Lindgren (the Artistic Director of Folded Paper Theatre and Dance Limited) and Gray Kochhar-Lindgren (the former Director of the Common Core and currently an Honorary Professor of Humanities at HKU) will introduce the project and its collaborative team.

SUMMARY:Transdisciplinarity And The Terrestrial: Thinking Critically With Critical Zones
DESCRIPTION:Following its adoption by the US earth sciences community at the turn of the century\, the concept of the ‘critical zone’ has been central to a so-called ‘terrestrial turn’ in the arts as well as the sciences. Originally defined as the “heterogeneous\, near-surface environment in which complex interactions involving rock\, soil\, water\, air\, and living organisms regulate the natural habitat” (Jordan et al.\, 2001: 2)\, the concept has been engaged by thinkers across the environmental sciences and humanities to consider questions of ‘habitability’. \n  \nIn this talk\, David will reflect on this circulation as a contribution to the uptake and use of the critical zone concept in transdisciplinary enquiry. What does this circulation tell us about dialogues between the arts and the sciences? And how can transdisciplinary enquiry engaging the concept of the critical zone be reflexive about the power relations underlying how the earth’s surface has been mapped\, explored\, and exploited? \n  \nThe talk will address ways in which the concept has been differently defined\, framed\, and situated around the world\, reflecting on the history of ‘critical zone observatories’ in the US\, Europe\, and China\, and the concept’s uptake in the arts and humanities inspired by the work of Bruno Latour. \n  \nDavid Edwards \nPhD Candidate\, The University of Glasgow \nDavid Edwards is a human and environmental geographer with a background in Sinology. In dialogue with political ecology\, postcolonial science and technology studies\, and the environmental humanities\, his PhD research addresses the translation and transfiguration of the ‘critical zone’ concept around the world\, with a focus on Greater China. David is based at the University of Glasgow and has been a visiting researcher at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP). In the last year\, he has delivered presentations at the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting\, the East Asian Regional Conference in Alternate Geography (EARCAG)\, and the Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographer’s Annual International Conference. \n  \nAll are welcome. \nIf you are interested\, please sign-up at: https://forms.gle/E36ZvkYRjYdnRjd68

SUMMARY:Creating non-linear stories using Twine to support case-based learning
DESCRIPTION:Date: 30 November 2022 (Wednesday) \nTime: 12:30 pm – 1:45 pm \nVenue: RRS 321\, 3/F Run Run Shaw Building\, Main Campus\, HKU \nSpeaker: Mr. Donn Gonda\, CETL \nRegistration: https://www2.cetl.hku.hk/cetlevents/regist/492/registEvent.php?eventId=492 \nAbstract \nStorytelling can be a powerful tool to enhance students’ communication skills. These stories can help students to understand complex and abstract concepts by allowing them to immerse themselves and be part of it. Teachers can create interest-provoking and compelling cases and scenarios that will enable the students to reflect on their learning and perception to judge and act on the situation. However\, creating automated non-linear cases can be challenging and time-consuming. In this workshop\, we will use an open-source storytelling app called Twine to create these scenarios that can be customised to your context. We will work through a model example to let you experience and build your own non-linear story. \nFor information\, please contact: \nMs. Lavina Luk\, CETL \nPhone: 3917 5272; Email: ytluk89@hku.hk
