Greetings!

As 2020 comes to a close, it is good to look beyond the challenges it brought and marvel in the blessings that we share. Supporting each other, being there for one another, and just making the best of extremely trying circumstances – that is what made this year special. As Christmas approaches, I wish peace, love and joy all of you who celebrate. May 2021 bring all of us hope for a better future, as we navigate it together.

For our current students, digital learning will most likely continue in the second semester. The twenty-five students who joined our program last September have been living through a very unique experience in the history of M.Ed. (Higher Education), with the majority of their postgraduate studies taking place in cyberspace. I appreciate the effort that went into adapting to the changes in your learning environment, managing changes in your own personal lives, and still continuing to be exceptional in your academic performance. Thank you for your enthusiasm, diligence, resilience, and support of one another. As the Higher Education program enters its tenth anniversary year, it is clear that our next student cohorts will need to be online more than their predecessors, but – we hope – not as much as the 2020-21 cohort. As we wait for vaccines to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic, we are hopeful that this year’s cohort will have more opportunities to meet and learn with each other in person. Face-to-face exchange will be prioritized over virtual experiences to the greatest extent possible, while still focusing on keeping everyone healthy and safe.

Our program has made a new call for admissions recently, and we encourage you to share this news widely, encouraging  prospective candidates to become part of our global network. Currently, we have more than 200 graduates across the globe, and many have been making significant progress professionally as university and college administrators, faculty members, researchers, teachers, consultants, etc. Hearing about their accomplishments and aspirations is always rewarding, and motivates all of us – both faculty and students – to work harder and be the best that we can be.

As the festive time approaches and you may have some time to rummage around the academic collections in the field, we encourage you to read from our most recent research portfolio, and certainly use the opportunity to reconnect with your teachers and mentors. Here is a list of last year’s publications from the teachers and peers in our network:

Greetings from Hong Kong!

The first semester of the current academic year has been turbulent in the city. Nevertheless, we persevered to make our program professionally magnetic and engaging on many important issues related to social, political and educational dilemmas in Hong Kong and beyond. Our Higher Education cohort this year includes students from China, Hong Kong, Japan and the USA, and we are excited to have them collaboratively contributing to higher learning in the community (tonight, four teams will be making their final presentations in the Comparative Higher Education Policy Studies course on stakeholder perceptions of (dis)advantages within a selection of higher education systems, and if you are interested to attend send me your email). Meanwhile, our former MEd graduate Mr. Stone Li Xiaoshi joined our PhD student cohort in September and is working now under supervision of Dr. Jisun Jung. We are happy to have him as part of our research team. We also know that a good number of our alumni are preparing PhD and EdD proposal submissions these days (deadlines December 2, 2019 and February 13, 2020 respectively). We wish them all good luck.

Also, we have been privileged to host international visitors who continue to contribute to our projects of inquiry and learning in higher education. Among others, it was a pleasure to see on our campus Dr. Michael Lanford, 2010-11 class, who is now Assistant Professor at the University of North Georgia in the US. We are awaiting more visits from friends and colleagues in the future, and here are some current updates from us:

1.     On Nov 7, 2019, Dr. Riyad Shahjahan from Michigan State University will speak “On ‘Being for Others’: Time and Shame in the Neoliberal Academy”. This talk will be held at 12:45-14:00 in Runme Shaw Building, Room 204.

2.     On Nov 11, 2019, Dr. Yangson Kim and Dr. Machi Sato from Hiroshima University will make presentation on “Exploring Academics in Socio-cultural Contexts: Focusing on Experiences and Challenges of Junior Female Academics (JFAs) in Japanese Universities”. This talk will take place at 12:45-14:00 in Runme Shaw Building, Room 205.

Greetings!

The rainy season is in full swing in Hong Kong. The city has also been overwhelmed by major protests over the last week, as you have probably read in media. The HKU Media Department, for example reports that “some 20 people in educational and cultural sectors [have joined] a 24-hour hunger strike near the Legislative Council complex, urging the government to withdraw the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019.  In a related development, student unions of CUHK, HKUST, PolyU, CityU, BaptistU, EdUHK and Academy for Performing Arts are urging Hongkongers to go on strike and join the rally to oppose the bill.  (major local papers)”. More than one million citizens marched in protest last Sunday. The situation has been developing rapidly and unpredictably (including the use of teargas and beanbag rounds)– we urge you to take a great care of yourselves and your relatives, and stay safe. Please follow updates on https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3014104/thousands-block-roads-downtown-hong-kong-defiant-protest?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR0wfyaz6ZsGTbW1B730HPxqQLoGDAfm0oqF1ZAGMrEzCgpn7wz5DUG9cRQ#Echobox=1560308615 or https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2019/jun/12/hong-kong-protest-demonstrators-and-police-face-off-over-extradition-bill-live?CMP=soc_567&fbclid=IwAR2YToENfk8atKkp2TV7XLiX94RlS6idEHWrY_A5V7DA_k6ORYeULIQbjp8

On June 24-25, the conference participants will have a chance to interact with leading Canadian and international academics, practitioners, policy makers and students discussing how to “take stock of internationalization in higher education as it is currently evolving around the globe, and consider ways in which it could be shaped sustainably into the future”.

Hello everyone,

We are approaching the end of Semester 2 at our Higher Education – MEd program. Our current students are revising their draft proposals, seeking ethics review approvals, engaging participants, etc. in preparation for fieldwork and data collection before writing their final projects and theses. Meanwhile, as listed below, I have received several updates from other community members, most of whom are busy with travels, conference presentations, and final classes:

1. In March 2019, Susan Bridges & Monaliza Chian (PDF) conducted a week of invited research seminars and workshops on ‘Interactional Ethnography’ for the Lithuanian Educational Research Association (LERA) at Klaipeda University, Lithuania following an initial visit to HKU by a Lithuanian research team in 2018.
