工作论文研究系列 | ||

Our group is launching a new working paper series. The idea for a working paper series emerged from the successful postgraduate student conference held in September 2021 – “Negotiating Selves and Identities in Times of Crisis”. The best papers from that conference have been selected as the first publication for the forthcoming series. With a focus upon research related to well-being, value, and the public good, it is hoped that the new series will provide a platform for both established and emerging scholars to share their work in progress; and, as such, will grow into a diverse and significant collection of papers spanning the humanities and social science fields. A list of possible fields includes Humanities, Culture Studies, Literature and Linguistics, Creative Practice, Theatre Studies, Disability Studies, Gender Studies, Hong Kong Studies, Social Sciences, Visual Studies, Translation Studies, Music, Museum Studies, Intercultural Studies. If you have any questions about the series, or would like to submit a paper, do not hesitate to contact the editorial team at cssworkingpapers@gmail.com. |

尔剧场是一个由浸会大学主办，以浸大学生、聋人、视障人士为对象，以一人一故事剧场（下称作一剧场）作为媒介，让不同能力和特质的参加者在故事中相遇和互相学习，通过艺术达到个人成长与社群对话。长远来说，我们希望这种社群艺术可以走入本地聋人和视障人士的文化，一方面成为聋人/视障人士社群连结的一个平台，另一方面进一步拓展一剧场的共融性。 |
“Recomposing the Self” | ||
|---|---|---|
In times of rapid changes both domestically and globally, how can young people foster their creativity and cultivate their critical thinking to navigate the changing environment around them? The more the world is changing, the more we need to consider how to refashion our self in order to think about our relationship with society, to adapt to changes, and to prepare how to contribute to it. Our zoom series aims to use a storytelling approach to stimulate young people to recognize the need (and the art) of flexibly thinking about ourselves and our relation to a society with major social transformations. |

 | Spinning Outwards to a Larger We - Benjamin Koen: Ben’s life has always been connected to the power of music in human creativity, imagination, transformation, healing, and wellbeing. Ben grew up in a highly diverse community where he had opportunities to share his music for healing and wellbeing with people from numerous backgrounds and cultures. Dr. Koen’s research and applied practice in music, meditation, healing, and wellbeing illumines the elusive process of how music heals. He is widely published, including two benchmark books with Oxford University Press: The Oxford Handbook of Medical Ethnomusicology, and Beyond the Roof of the World: Music, Prayer, and Healing in the Pamir Mountains.
Lian-Hee Wee: Like many others, Lian-Hee’s identity may be described along different parameters. Culturally, he is a hybrid of Southeast Asia, various southern elements of Chinese, some flavours of American, and echoes of a British colonial past. Linguistically, he has a few first languages including Chiuchow and Hainanese, the latter he had lost and the former he speaks only with his parents, siblings and cousins, and necessarily only about mundane homely stuff. Lian-Hee is native in Singapore English across different social registers, Mandarin, and near native in Cantonese and Hong Kong English. His friends have kindly given him such wonderful appellations as guqin player/maker, flutist, poet, painter, animal-lover, activist, and scientist. However, friends are those who acknowledge one’s delusions. Professionally, he is a theoretical phonologist and a professor at the Department of English, Hong Kong Baptist University. | ||||||
