Although Hong Kong is known as \u201cAsia\u2019s world city\u201d, global \/ Asianstudies as a standalone discipline is surprisingly under-developed in theacademia. The identity of the subject is relatively unclear, as itsinter-disciplinary nature is interpreted differently across institutes.However, when Hong Kong is desperately looking for new competitive edges withinChina, systemic development of global \/ Asian studies is definitely somethingthat the special administrative region should explore. What are the structuralchallenges that the subject in Hong Kong are facing? How can they possibly besolved? What are the potential opportunities for the subject to prosper?Drawing on the speaker’s management experience in directing the Global StudiesProgramme and the Master of Global Political Economy Programme in the ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong, as well as his service in the governing councils \/advisory boards in various tertiary education institutes to institutionaliseglobal studies, the seminar will try to address the aforementioned questions inhope of stimulating fellow colleagues to cultivate the academic virgin landtogether.<\/span><\/p>\n
