Theme
and Objective of the Programme
Cultural Heritage Preservation and Management
Strategies
Hong Kong and New England
The
focus of the 2011 BCSI is to cultivate a cross-cultural perspective
in the Humanities against the backdrop of globalization, by inviting
participants to explore:
|
the different historical background and heritage of the two
cities; |
|
the significance of this heritage within their contexts; and |
|
the economic, social and political implications of their heritage
conservation strategies |
Participants in BCSI
2011 will acquire broad intellectual perspectives and develop sensitivity
to the common concerns of human existence with an emphasis on issues
such as cultural identity, urban development, gender, and social
policy. They will be equipped with the theoretical framework and
firsthand experience to immerse, trace, explore and compare, from
an interdisciplinary perspective, the context of the historical
and cultural heritage of Hong Kong and New England. They will be
able to form their own judgments and values, by critical analyses
of open-ended topics like changing values, housing controversies,
and the different effects of economic development between the two
cities.
