SUMMARY:A Half-day Retreat @ HKU + Lung Fu Mountain: Demystifying Mindfulness from the perspectives of Psychology and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:We spend most of our time learning about the outside world and try to change small parts of it\, but most of us know very little about our own inner mindscape\, and even less about how to change it for the better. \nMindfulness is one of the most simple yet also profound ways of knowing while transforming our own consciousness into one with more clarity\, peace and happiness. It is a widespread practice across different religious traditions and nowadays being even widely applied in fields like psychology\, medicine and education. \nWe now invite you to explore these questions together with us by joining this half-day retreat @HKU + Lung Fu Shan: \n\nHow can mindfulness connect us to a deeper understanding of self and meaning of life?\n\n  \n\nWhat insights can we gain if we could learn from both religious and non-religious approaches of mindfulness?\n\n  \n\nWhat will happen to our daily life and surrounding if we can practice mindfulness from the here and the now?\n\n  \nQuota: 15 (HKU members\, first come first serve) \nVenue: HKU campus + Lung Fu Mountain* \nFormat: Talks + experiential practices in mindful breathing\, sitting\, stretching and hiking \n  \n*Further details will be sent to you upon successful registration \nRegister Now: https://bit.ly/HKUMindfulRetreat \n  \nMore about The New Mindscape: https://asiar.hku.hk/the-new-mindscape/

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Exemplar + Centenary Commemoration

SUMMARY:Passion Project Workshop: The Role of Passion in a Great Career
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Tim will explain why finding and following a passion is the only way to succeed professionally. He will explain why the importance of being passionate about something means more than to simply find it interesting. Discovering your passion isn’t about having things in common or striking up good conversations\, it’s a deep-rooted feeling that’s not always easily explained or understood. \nAbout the Facilitator: \nA civil engineer in Arup\, Tim has over thirteen years of experience in managing large-scale\, complex infrastructure projects and exporting Hong Kong’s expertise to important infrastructure projects in the Greater Bay cities and Southeast Asia\, uplifting the profile of Hong Kong engineers.

He is an HKU alumnus of HKU and obtained his MSc in Construction Project Management in 2012. \nTim was named the HKIE Young Engineer of the Year Award in 2020.

SUMMARY:A Minute Something Else Enters - Pandemics\, Violence and Mental disorders: What Can We Learn from 1968 and 2020?
DESCRIPTION:In 1968\, the “Hong Kong Flu” killed an estimated one to four million people globally. The epidemic broke out in the year the United States and the world endured a series of cataclysmic episodes of political violence. A rare phenomenon was observed concerning the mental consequences after contracting deadly influenza. Newspaper reports exaggerated the anxiety already occurring a half-century ago regarding schizophrenic cases possibly caused by Spanish flu and coloured this with racialized prejudice during Cold War. In the same year\, Hong Kong just came out from a months-long nightmare of large-scale riots between pro-Communists and the colonial government. With psychiatric sciences still embryonic\, experts from World Federation for Mental Health gathered in Hong Kong to discuss the topic of “how to live with violence.” A half-century on\, history repeated against the menace of COVID-19. The pandemic incurred global discrimination against Asian populations. While multiple studies have concluded adverse effects of the pandemic to the mental well-being among citizens\, neither root cause analyses\, nor effective solutions were offered by professionals. This talk will try to answer: why is it so? \n“A Minute Something Else Enters” is a community project collaborated with the teaching staff at LKS Faculty of Medicine\, The University of Hong Kong\, aimed to explore the history of pandemic across centuries of time within the boundary in Hong Kong. The project anticipates audio-guided immersive theatre at HKU and surrounding in 2022 January\, in addition to three online to offline sharing sessions to swarm out into the interfaces of the pandemic\, urban and daily life with the lens of architecture\, medical profession and literature. “A Minute Something Else Enters” is supported by MEHU\, HKU Libraries and Common Core. \nSpeaker: Dr Harry Yi-Jui Wu \nHarry Yi-Jui Wu is a historian of medicine. He was trained in medicine in Taiwan before obtaining DPhil in modern history at the University of Oxford. His first book\, Mad by the Millions: Mental Disorders and the Early Years of the World Health Organization\, was published by MIT Press in 2021. Currently\, Harry is an Associate Professor teaching at National Cheng Kung University\, Taiwan. He is also an Honorary Associate Professor at LKS Faculty of Medicine\, The University of Hong Kong\, and an Early Career Fellow of Hong Kong Academy of Humanities. Besides teaching\, he is currently Co-Editor of the Journal of Social History of Medicine (Oxford University Press). \nDate: Nov 18\, 2021\nTime: 7:00 – 8:30pm\nLanguage: English  \nRegister at: https://forms.gle/Pp9Tt2nMvCZpfSAY9 \nFacebook event link: https://www.facebook.com/1349072538454919/posts/5225445314150936/?d=n

SUMMARY:The Critical Engagement of Higher Education with Future Crises
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adrian Lam\, Common Core Course Tutor and Research Group Member \nThis contemporary world is no stranger to crises of all kinds\, for instance\, the outbreak of the COVD-19 pandemic since late 2019. Nonetheless\, the higher education sector has been regrettably slow and stagnant in the wake of these crises. Lamentably\, the contemporary higher education sector could and should contribute in many ways\, but have failed to do so. This presentation will mainly discuss three aspects of higher education – curriculum design\, learner empowerment\, and interdisciplinarity – arguing what went wrong and what should be further changed. In particular\, the presentation will also consider the potentials of the Common Core Curriculum at the University of Hong Kong in leading and facilitating the changes. All these transformations will be essential in shaping a more sustainable and resilient higher education system under the “new normal”. \nAdrian Lam graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a Master of Education in Curriculum and Pedagogy\, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education in Secondary English\, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in English Studies and Politics and Public Administration. He has extensive research and teaching experience in both the disciplines of education and political science. \nAll HKU staff and students are welcome \nPlease register here

SUMMARY:A Minute Something Else Enters - Architecture and Constraint: Architectural space derived in pandemic time frame
DESCRIPTION:The latest Covid-19 pandemic put forward waves of “new normal” in every aspect of life. The state of “new normal” spanned over the notion of living a normal life\, it brought deformation amongst the public realm and personal life as well as an institutionalized atmosphere of dissension. Charles and Ian will lead us through contemplation on the histories of pandemics. We will delve into architectural spaces in pandemic events\, impacted by the overflow of an invisible disease\, altered spatial design\, urban fabric and materials in cities. These impacts manifested control of bodies by architectural space\, from conceptual perpetuation to real-life constraints. \n“A Minute Something Else Enters” is a community project collaborated with the teaching staff at LKS Faculty of Medicine\, The University of Hong Kong\, aimed to explore the history of pandemic across centuries of time within the boundary in Hong Kong.

SUMMARY:Passion Project Workshop: Probability\, Not A Possibility by Josephine Chan

This Passion Project workshop will also offer you some tools to increase self-understanding and help you set up a more solid foundation in creating a life that you want to live.
