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:Active Learning in Large Introductory Sciences Courses
DESCRIPTION:The talk by Professor Robert Chen of University of Massachusetts Boston “Active Learning in Large Introductory Sciences Courses” was successfully held on 11 March 2024. The event was co-organized by the Common Core and Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TALIC). \n  \nDate: 11 March 2024 (Monday) \nTime: 4:00pm – 5:30pm \nVenue: RRS321\, 3/F\, Run Run Shaw Building\, Main Campus\, HKU \nSpeaker: Professor Robert Chen\, University of Massachusetts Boston \nPresentation Slides: Chen-Teaching Inro Classes 2024-HKU \nRecording: https://www2.talic.hku.hk/eventvideo/2024/03/2024-03-11_commoncore.php \nFeedback Survey: https://forms.gle/oiTrRW9pvHBt2pjs6 \n  \nAbstract \nIntroductory science courses provide an excellent opportunity to prepare both majors and non-majors for thinking about some of the largest issues facing society such as climate change\, artificial intelligence\, and healthcare. Introductory courses can also serve to recruit students from highly diverse backgrounds into these important fields. Often\, these courses are large (>50 students). This workshop will provide strategies to overcome challenges of these large introductory courses while making your teaching engaging\, relevant\, and effective for all students. A special emphasis is placed on a few big concepts that can help organize examples and knowledge for students to grapple with future scientific issues.  Come ready to share ideas\, to think actively about teaching and learning\, and to discuss what works and why. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nRobert F. (Bob) Chen is a Professor and the Interim Dean of the School for the Environment at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He received his AB from Harvard University in Chemistry and Physics in 1986 and his PhD in Oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1992. His research interests include the cycling of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM)\, carbon biogeochemistry in coastal systems\, and the development of sensor networks in shallow water systems. He has explored dissolved organic carbon (DOC) outwelling from salt marshes\, remote sensing of coastal water quality\, and indicators of estuarine health. He is also dedicated to ocean and environmental science education and outreach at the local\, national\, and international levels. He is the Principal Investigator of the NASA PATHS Diversifying Engineering project (www.pathspartners.org)\, and serves on the boards of the New England Aquarium\, and the Alliance for Business Leadership. He is the Chair of the Education and Engagement Committee of the Association of the Sciences for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO)\, and served on its board. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles and maintains an active laboratory in the area of coastal observations\, carbon cycling\, and contaminant distribution and fate.

SUMMARY:Digital Intangible Cultural Heritage & Museums: Mistakes of the Past\, Trends of the Present and Prospects for the Future
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture – Digital Intangible Cultural Heritage & Museums: Mistakes of the Past\, Trends of the Present and Prospects for the Future \nPart of CCCH9051 Digitizing Cultural Heritage in Greater China \n  \nDate: April 10\, 2024 \nTime: 4:30-5:45 pm \nVenue: CYCP1\, Chong Yuet Ming Chemistry Building \nSpeaker: Dr. Harald Peter Kraemer\, Curator\, University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) \n  \nAbstract: \nAs projects stored on CD-ROM and CD-I\, or websites created with Flash have shown\, the increasing dependence of museums on the latest media technologies in the ‘Age of digital Throwawayism’ has repeatedly led to the loss of digital intangible cultural heritage. Now that the hype surrounding NFTs has nearly died away\, more experiments are being conducted with AR and VR. Additionally\, immersive walk-in spaces contribute to a ‘Disneyfication’ of museum environments\, exerting a significant influence on visitor behaviour. Are museums currently turning into amusement parks? In his lecture\, Harald P Kraemer explores these questions and shows possible perspectives for the future of museums. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \nSince completing his PhD on museum informatics and digital collections\, Harald P Kraemer has been investigating the interplay of media technologies and their influence on museums. He works as an exhibition curator at UMAG and teaches the courses ‘Digital Media and Museums’ as well as ‘The Art of Storytelling’ in the HKU MA Museum Studies programme. \n  \nAll staff and students are welcome. No registration is required.

SUMMARY:Sustainability x Game: Climate Change\, Take Action!
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is one of the most important and urgent issues affecting our world. It refers to the long-term alterations in climate\, such as variations in temperature\, precipitation\, and weather patterns. By taking action against climate change\, we can lessen the worst effects of climate change and build a more resilient\, sustainable\, and fair future for both present and future generations. \n\nIn the session\, we will play an open-source card game on climate change. This game aims to educate players about the importance of climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that guide global efforts towards a sustainable future. Players will learn about the SDG targets in SDGs 7\, 12\, and 13\, particularly relevant to addressing climate change. Players will also understand how collaboration can support the achievement of other SDGs. \nDate: 16 April\, 2024 (Tuesday) \nTime: 12:30 pm – 1:45 pm \nVenue: Common Core / BASc Lounge\, Room 150\, 1/F Main Building \nRegistration: https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?UEID=93590

The name “Mosaic” was chosen to capture the very nature of the group – coming from different backgrounds\, Mosaicians bring our individual uniqueness into harmonized pieces of lively\, spirited music. \nEstablished in 2006\, Mosaic is the first collegiate A Cappella group in HK to organise large-scale concerts and it has been their highlight event of the year. We are proud of our Concerts\, not only because we consistently give full-house performances\, but more so of the dedication from every single one of our members\, who contribute in all aspects of preparatory work to set this Concert up from scratch – from song arrangements\, script-writing\, publication designs to administrative and logistic duties. \nMosaic is also committed to serving the community\, as we regularly perform in charity events and for schools. Mosaic continues to uphold our mission to promote and share A Cappella music by actively performing in various occasions and settings\, such as on campus\, TV\, in commercial malls\, and in other major venues. \nIf you are a passionate singer or beatboxer\, don’t miss out on the chance to sign up for Mosaic’s Fall Audition 2024!!
