SUMMARY:Communication-intensive Courses Symposium 2023
DESCRIPTION:Date: 3 May\, 2023 (Wednesday)\nTime: 9:30 am – 4:30 pm\nVenue: Digital Interactive Lab\, Main Library\nTarget Audience: All HKU staff (including those who have badged CIC courses and those who haven’t) \n>>Details and registration \nProgramme\n\n\n\nTime\nActivity\n\n\n9:30 – 9:35\nOpening \n\nSpeaker:\nProf. Ian Holliday \nVice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning)\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n9:35 – 10:20\nKeynote: Integrating development of students’ communication skills into course teaching and assessment\nI will begin by discussing the need for integrating the development of communication skills into subject teaching\, as these skills are discipline-specific and require students’ understanding of the discipline’s communicative conventions and discourses. As communication is integral to disciplinary knowledge construction and transfer\, communicative competence cannot be separated from subject knowledge\, but needs to be developed as part of subject teaching. For various reasons\, however\, many subject lecturers reject\, or struggle with\, the responsibility to teach communication skills. The aim of my talk is to demonstrate how students’ communicative competence\, particularly in speaking and writing\, can be enhanced as part of lecturers’ regular teaching and assessment practices. I will propose five methods of integrating a focus on communication into teaching and assessment and show examples of the use of these methods across several disciplines. Lastly\, I will explain how subject lecturers\, who are often not explicitly aware of their discipline’s communicative conventions\, can be supported by language/English for Academic Purposes specialists in applying these methods. \n\nSpeaker: \n\n\nDr. Ursula Wingate\nSchool of Education\, Communication & Society\, King’s College London\n\n\n\n\n\n10:20 – 10:30\n10 min break\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00\nTeacher voices: Developing content knowledge through writing\nTeachers share their experience enhancing senior level students’ written communication competence in law and medicine courses. \n\nSpeakers: \n\n\nDr. Masayo Kotaka\nSchool of Biomedical Sciences\, LKS Faculty of Medicine\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n\nWilson Lui\nFaculty of Law\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:15\nStudent voices: Can writing be enjoyable?\nStudents share their experiences developing their writing skills in CiC Common Core and faculty courses. \n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nOcean Wang\nYear 3\, BSocSc\, Art History and Sociology\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n\nHanna Marcella Kurniawan\nYear 2\, BSc\, Food & Nutritional Science and Finance\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n\n11:15 – 11:25\n10 min break\n\n\n11:25 – 12:25\nPeer consultant voices: It takes a student to teach a student\nThe Writing Centre coordinator and writing peer consultants share how consultations are structured to help students with their written academic assignments in multiple disciplines. \n\nSpeakers: \n\nSam Cole\, Writing Centre Coordinator\, CAES \, HKU\nJack Chan\, Year 3\, BA&BEd\, English\, HKU\nCeleste Lee\, Year 4\, BSocSc\, Psychology and English\, HKU\nTristan Li\, Year 5\, BBA&LLB\, HKU\nYoshita Singh\, Year 3\, BEcon&Fin\, HKU\nHayley Hunt\, Year 3\, PhD Earth Science\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n12:25 – 14:00\n1.5 hrs Lunch\n\n\n14:00 – 15:30\nEnhancing students’ academic writing through genre analysis and targeted feedback\nIn this workshop\, I offer more details on\, and some hands-on experience of\, two of the methods that I proposed in my talk. Both methods aim at the enhancement of students’ academic writing competence. The first involves the creation of teaching/learning resources that enable students to carry out analyses of annotated exemplars of assignment genres. I will provide various examples from a range of disciplines where this method was applied. The second method is concerned with the type of feedback lecturers provide on students’ written texts. I will show examples of lecturers’ difficulties in the exact identification of weaknesses in texts\, which prevent them from formulating formative feedback comments. Participants will be asked to collaboratively analyse some extracts from student texts\, pinpoint their shortcomings and formulate feedback comments that help students to address these shortcomings. \n\nSpeaker: \n\n\nDr. Ursula Wingate\nSchool of Education\, Communication & Society King’s College London\n\n \n\n\n\n\n15:30 – 16:15\nChatGPT\, write me an essay on…\nPanel discussion on how generative AI will impact the teaching and learning of written communication in higher education \n\nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Michelle Raquel\nCAES\, HKU\n\nDr. Jack Tsao\nCommon Core\, HKU\n\nDr. Miranda Legg\nCAES\, HKU\n\nMr. Donn Gonda\nCETL\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n16:15\nClosing \n\nSpeakers: \nProf. Julian Tanner\nDirector\, Common Core\, HKU\n\n\n\n\n\n

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:(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. We will then show clips from our film and explore with some of the co-makers about how art and transdisciplinary research might engage most effectively with the transformation of our relationships with the evocative preciseness of the earth. \nAll are welcome! \nMonday 22 May 2023 \n12:30 pm – 2:00 pm (Hong Kong Time) via Zoom \nFor registration\, please click here. \nWe will send you the zoom link prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Paris Is Burning - Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In line with Black History Month\, Women’s Month\, and Transgender Day of Visibility\, CCHU9079 Queer Art\, Performance and Cities and CCHU9007 Sexuality and Gender: Diversity and Society are proud to screen this movie live with guest speakers to discuss the film’s impact and influence on today’s globalized society specially the LGBTQIA+ community. \n  \nParis Is Burning is a 1990 American documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s\, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American\, Latino\, gay\, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls and a thoughtful exploration of race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality in America. In 2016\, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant”. \n  \nDate: 28 February 2024 (Wednesday)\nTime: 12:30 – 4:20pm\nVenue: Rayson Huang Theatre\, Main Campus\, HKU\nLanguage: English\nEnquiries: genderst@hku.hk\nDetails and registration: https://genderstudies.hku.hk/events/paris-is-burning/ \nThe event is sponsored by the US Consulate in Hong Kong and Macau\, HKU’s Common Core\, Gender Studies Programme\, and the School of Humanities.

SUMMARY:Ritual and Religion in Chinese History and Anthropology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAn exploration of ritual practices in Chinese history and anthropology\, as well as indigenous ritual theory concerning these practices\, opens up a number of interesting comparative issues concerning religion\, belief\, and\, of course\, ritual itself.  This talk will discuss these themes and the larger implications these issues may have for our understandings. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMichael Puett is the Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology at Harvard University.  His interests are focused on the inter-relations between religion\, philosophy\, anthropology\, and history\, with the hope of bringing the study of China into larger historical and comparative frameworks.  He is the author of The Ambivalence of Creation: Debates Concerning Innovation and Artifice in Early China and To Become a God: Cosmology\, Sacrifice\, and Self-Divinization in Early China\, as well as the co-author\, with Adam Seligman\, Robert Weller\, and Bennett Simon\, of Ritual and its Consequences: An Essay on the Limits of Sincerity. \nDate: March 1\, 2024\, 10:30-12:00 (HK time)\nLanguage: English\nVenue: Hybrid – Room 201\, May Hall\, HKU and via Zoom (Registration is required)\nRegistration link: https://hku.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAvcOuvqTosGNxXZqG7iYdEg5uPRPOK_w8c \nClick here for more details.
