Generative AI challenges Higher Education institutions, educators and their practices to critically re-appraise the nature of what should and could be assessed. Gen AI can support equity and enhance new assessment designs. However, it also challenges us to reconsider what is valued, who is involved and what assessment can reliably reveal. This workshop will discuss the Australian Higher Education response to generative AI and explore the opportunities and challenges in relation to assessment.

宣統年間（1909-1911），袁世凱（1859-1916）在攝政王載灃排擠下歸隱彰德府洹上村，與門生故舊唱和，以示無心世務。這些詩作被袁氏次子袁克文（1890-1931）輯錄於《圭塘唱和詩》中，於宣統二年（1910）刊印，其中袁氏詩作共十三題十五篇。1940年代，長子袁克定（1878-1958）將袁世凱當年親筆謄鈔之詩稿影印出版，額曰《洹村逸興》。比對二書之篇目，《圭塘》諸本有袁氏詩作五篇不見於《洹村逸興》。實際上，該五篇之謄抄稿仍與《洹村逸興》之原件共同收藏於社科院近代史所；克定當日不收入書中，蓋因稿上頗有無名氏批點文字，公之於眾可能影響乃父形象。這些批點文字當係某位幕僚所為，內容為修改建議；然參《圭塘》諸本，可知袁世凱對建議幾乎全未採納。本文著眼於五篇詩稿及其批點文字，以討論原詩與修改建議如何優劣互見，乃至這輯詩歌與當時政局之微妙關係。

晚清時期英雄傳記風行一時，引發英雄崇拜的熱潮。但是此時所謂「傳記」，其實是融合諸多資源形構而成的新文類。《意大利建國三傑傳》作為晚清英雄傳記的代表作，充分展示了這一特徵。梁啟超借鑑明治政治小說的多種書寫模式，又援引本土小說的要素，將意大利建國史轉化為中國未來命運的預言，將意大利建國三傑刻畫為智、仁、勇的化身，將兒女情長俠義精神引入傳記書寫。正是由於梁啟超自出機杼的創造與轉化，此類英雄傳記廣受讀者歡迎，成為晚清文學文化史上的典範作品。

編修地方志為中華民族悠久而獨特的文化傳統，至今已有2000多年歷史。中國方志有始於《山海經》、《尚書‧禹貢》和《周禮》這三種說法。「國有史，地有志」，「方志」和「歷史」在中國史學傳統上，有同源異流的密切關係。是次講座根據歷來中國地方志的原始資料和方志學著述，討論「志」與「史」的異同，並疏理中國舊方志和中國新方志在「存史」及「資政」方面的經驗，並就地方志對歷史研究的當代意義提出建議。

This talk begins with an overview of the interconnection between literature and philosophy in modern Chinese literature. Then, it probes into the three existentialist allegories in Fortress Besieged (1947), a philosophical novel written by Qian Zhongshu, a polyglot scholar of East-East comparative literature and philosophy. The novel’s overarching allegory, i.e., a fortress besieged, will be compared in juxtaposition with several philosophical allegories about the mutability and limitations of human life in Western philosophy. This talk concludes with a reflection on the seminal influence of this novel in contemporary Chinese society where “fortress besieged” has become an everyday word referring to one’s existential crisis.

We investigate reversal and recirculation for the stationary Prandtl equations. Reversal describes the solution after the Goldstein singularity, and is characterized by regions in which u > O and u < 0. The classical point of view of regarding the Prandtl equations as an evolution equation in x completely breaks down since u changes sign. Instead, we view the problem as a quasilinear, mixed-type, free-boundary problem. This is a joint work with Sameer Iyer.

Models arising in biology are often written in terms of Ordinary Differential Equations. The celebrated paper of Kermack-McKendrick (19271, founding mathematical epidemiology, showed the necessity to include parameters in order to describe the state of the individuals, as time elapsed after infection. During the 70s, many mathematical studies were developed when equations are structured by age, size, more generally a physiological trait. The renewal, growth-fragmentation are the more standard equations. The talk will present structured equations, show that a universal generalized relative entropy structure is available in the linear case, which imposes relaxation to a steady state under non-degeneracy conditions. In the nonlinear cases, it might be that periodic solutions occur, which can be interpreted in biological terms, e.g., as network activity in the neuroscience. When the equations are conservation laws, a variant of the Monge-Kantorovich distance (called Fortet-Mourier distance) also gives a general non-expansion property of solutions.

Universities conduct research for three reasons: to educate students, to contribute to society, and to understand the world. While society often holds a view of the scholar as a solitary and singular genius, in reality scholars today participate in a highly collaborative, worldwide search for shared understandings that stand the test of time and the scrutiny of others. The problems in the 21st century often demand effort by teams of researchers with resources at scale: laboratories and equipment, compute resources, and expert staffing. Working with faculty, students, and other stakeholders to identify the greatest opportunities and the resources needed to address them is both a privilege and a challenge for modern academic administrators. In this talk, I will share three examples: fostering collaborative proposal-writing; planning for shared capabilities in experimental facilities, data, and computation; and transforming academic structures.

中國戲曲源自新石器時代的巫術儀式，經歷漢代百戲、唐代戲弄和北宋雜劇，在北宋末融匯了多種形式的演出藝術、民歌、文人曲子及多種演唱文類，發展成戲曲鼻祖「南戲」。粵劇是清代地方劇種百花齊放的產品，既保留着近乎巫術儀式的《祭白虎》，也承傳着崑曲牌子、秦腔梆子、徽劇二黃、宋明南戲和元雜劇的劇目，堪稱中國戲曲的縮影。本講座概述當代香港粵劇的傳承狀況和中國戲曲的歷史面貌，從中探討粵劇如何保留和發展傳統戲曲的元素。講座將論及粵劇神功戲的演出、《祭白虎》儀式、戲班結構、行當、劇目題材、唱腔特點和傳承。

本演講的出發點是《西廂記》在法國的傳播與接受，從儒蓮、巴贊的戲曲翻譯談起，說明《西廂記》故事如何被十九世紀的歐陸漢學家理解，進而創發出風貌各異的紅娘、鶯鶯與張生等角色類型。本演講也將觸及晚清民初在法國的外交官、留學生，說明他們如何譯介或改編《西廂記》，並與法國文學界激盪出不同模式的文化交流。由此延伸出的議題是熊式一、夏志清等身處英美國家的華人學者，淺析他們如何將《西廂記》置放於知識傳播的脈絡下，讓《西廂記》在二十世紀成為西方讀者認識中國戲曲的重要媒介之一。

有關《穆天子傳》周穆王西行地理的研究多矣，然自古未有定論。本研究以顧頡剛的實據地理與神話地理二重結構為理論框架，結合傳世文獻、出土資料與地理實查資料，重探《穆傳》的地理空間。針對有實據之部的地理，本研究強調以當代資料作為地理重構的依據，並發現其主要以戰國早期的晉南及其鄰近地區為核心。針對神話空間，則著重分析其「理性化」的創作思維及其反映的歷史地理脈絡，包含其領土型態、中國觀、世界觀以及交通地理背景。基於上述的歷史地理重構與分析，本研究進一步探討《穆傳》的體裁、國家主體、成書年代、資料依據、作者與讀者以及文本性質，期許對於這部高度爭議的奇書帶來新的認識。

清朝皇族婚入女子的財產權受到法律保障，但是皇族女子的財產權則缺乏法律保障，分產的機會也相對稀少。清朝公主出嫁後對於其陪嫁的人丁、動產與不動產並未擁有完整的所有權，僅擁有占有權、使用權與收益權，而不具備轉讓或出售的處分權，其後代對其亦無繼承權。本文以清代滿洲公主的陪嫁莊頭與壯丁為例，運用清代滿蒙漢文檔案材料和官書典籍，輔以其他二手研究文獻，以出嫁蒙古王公之清朝公主的收支為核心，並聚焦於其妝奩上，探討其財產的所有權、管理機制與公主薨逝後的轉讓情況。最後透過研究公主在崇奉藏傳佛教上的花費，說明清朝公主如何在清朝治理蒙古的政策中起到重要作用。

In this CIHK webinar, we will discuss the material conditions of and historical background to the use of Classical Chinese or Literary Sinitic in writing-mediated brush conversation between literati of Sinitic engaged in cross-border communication within Sinographic East Asia or the Sinographic cosmopolis, which corresponds with today’s China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan (including Okinawa, formerly the Ryukyu Kingdom) and Vietnam. Compared with speech as a modality of communication, real-time writing-mediated interaction between talking humans, synchronously face-to-face, seems uncommon. In any society, speaking is premised on one condition: the interlocutors must have at least one shared spoken language at their disposal, but even then, there are circumstances under which speaking is either physically not feasible or socially inappropriate. Could writing function as an alternative modality of communication when speaking is not an option due to the absence of a shared spoken language, as in cross-border communication settings? Whereas real-time writing-mediated face-to-face interaction is rare where a regional lingua franca was known to exist (e.g., Latin and Arabic), there is ample historical evidence of literati of Classical Chinese or Literary Sinitic from different parts of Sinographic East Asia conducting ‘silent conversation’, synchronously and interactively in writing mode using brush, ink, and paper. Such a pattern of writing-assisted interaction is still practiced and observable in pen-assisted conversation – pen-talk – between Chinese and Japanese speakers today, thanks to the pragma-linguistic affordance of morphographic, non-phonographic sinograms (i.e., Chinese characters and Japanese kanji). We will outline the historical spread of Classical Chinese or Sinitic texts from the ‘center’ to the ‘peripheries’, and the historical background to the acquisition of literacy in Sinitic by the people there. Their shared knowledge of Sinitic helps explain why, for well over a thousand years until the 1900s, literati from these places were able to speak their mind by engaging in ‘Sinitic brush-talk’ 漢文筆談 in cross-border communication.

Focusing on tensions and links between national formation and international outlooks, this talk shows how classical world visions persist as China’s modernizers and revolutionaries adopted and revised the Western nation-state and cosmopolitanism. The concepts of tianxia (all under heaven) and datong (great harmony) have been updated into outlooks of global harmony that value unity, equality, and reciprocity as strategies of overcoming interstate conflict, national divides, and social fragmentation. The talk will delve into two debates: the embrace of the West vs. aspirations for a common world, and the difference between liberal cosmopolitanism and socialist internationalism.

During the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the relaxation of the Ming sea ban, along with the arrival of the Europeans, generated a multipolar environment in East Asia. It revolved around the intra-Asian exchange centered upon Chinese silk and Japanese silver, and a nascent global flow of New World bullion to China and spices for Western Europe. The situation changed during the mid-seventeenth century amid mounting restrictions on overseas contacts from the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan and the consolidation and militarization of Chinese merchants under the Zheng family. By 1683, when the Qing forced the Zheng to surrender and occupied their bastion of Taiwan, China had achieved naval preeminence in the East Asian sea lanes. Other than a few outposts, the Europeans had largely withdrawn from the area north of island Southeast Asia, which remained under the hegemony of the Dutch East India Company. In 1684, the Qing court legalized private trade and travel abroad, prompting another wave of overseas migration. Authorities in China and across eastern maritime Asia enacted policies that kept the Qing merchants and immigrants separate from the earlier Ming loyalists. Additionally, both groups of Chinese were accorded significant political, economic, and legal privileges. This infrastructure, backed by Qing naval power, paved the way for the “Chinese century” in maritime Asia.

古代中國幅員遼闊，習俗各異，如何實行統一管理是一大難題。秦朝用嚴刑峻法移風易俗，激起東方社會的激烈反抗，很快歸於失敗。西漢初年郡國並行，允許東方王國在一定程度上從俗而治。但王國勢力太大，危及國家的統一，文景二帝不得不收奪諸侯王的自治權。為了避免重蹈亡秦覆轍，儒生們提出“德教”主張，其中又包含“以禮為治”和“以德化民”兩種方案。受其影響，武帝以後的朝廷政策繼續表現出大幅度搖擺，至漢末魏晉才確立了基本符合當時國情的治理模式。

In this lecture, Prof. Sifakis will discuss the relevance of existing criteria for comparing human and machine intelligence and show some notable analogies and differences between scientific knowledge and that produced by neural networks. Emphasising that autonomy is an important step towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), he will present a characterisation of autonomous systems, and showing key differences with mental systems equipped with common sense knowledge and reasoning, and advocate challenging work directions, including the development of a new foundation for systems engineering and scientific knowledge, and the joint exploration of physical and mental phenomena that embody human intelligence.

More than one hundred years ago, Albert Einstein published his Theory of General Relativity (GR). One year later, Karl Schwarzschild solved the GR equations for a non-rotating, spherical mass distribution; if this mass is sufficiently compact, even light cannot escape from within the so-called event horizon, and there is a mass singularity at the center. The theoretical concept of a 'black hole' was born, and was refined in the next decades by work of Penrose, Wheeler, Kerr, Hawking and many others. First indirect evidence for the existence of such black holes in our Universe came from observations of compact X-ray binaries and distant luminous quasars. I will discuss the forty-year journey, which my colleagues and I have been undertaking to study the mass distribution in the Center of our Milky Way from ever more precise, long-term studies of the motions of gas and stars as test particles of the space time. These studies show the existence of a four million solar mass object, which must be a single massive black hole, beyond any reasonable doubt.

As a recent New York Times editorial proclaimed, "The Global Order Isn't Working. It's Time for Something Different." To teach environmental history and environmental ethics is to reacquaint ourselves with the facts that we need to try to build, while there is still time, a new cooperative order that understands this: simple fact: that other people and other countries are quite literally "the air we breathe." Moreover, all who claim to be ethical persons must take seriously the notion of inter-generational equity and try to act upon it. This notion should, in theory, come more easily to countries whose traditions have built upon classical/ Confucian learning, for those traditions say that the most important marker of human behavior is working toward common ends (qun 群) while "learning what is enough" (zhi zu 知足). Put another way, many resources within the Chinese tradition may strengthen our resolve to act more constructively in less short-sighted ways.

The notion of expertise is integral to all forms of institutional and professional practice in many domains – in education, healthcare, social welfare, law, journalism, banking, information technology, marketing, translating and interpreting services etc. It is a concept addressed by scholars across many disciplines – cognitive science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, language/communication studies, among others. There are, however, enduring problems of definition, description and measurement of expertise. Some scholars draw attention to the ongoing ‘crisis in expertise’ and others pronounce the ‘death of expertise’ in contemporary society.
More humbly, I begin with a characterisation of professional expertise very broadly to include scientific, experiential, technological, organisational, legal, ethical and communicative knowledge. This then leads me to the notion of ‘distributed expertise’, which extends beyond the individual remit and the conventional lay-expert divide. For instance, in the healthcare domain, a significant development afforded by internet-based technology is the increased level of patients’ e-health literacy and, consequently, democratisation of expertise. This amounts not only to accessing health information digitally, but also the phenomenon of patients ‘doctoring’ themselves in ‘the now of its presence’, i.e., ‘expert patients’ becoming instrumental in self-diagnosis and even self-treatment.
Additionally, ‘distributed expertise’ is also constitutive of ‘expert systems’, e.g., diagnostic and interventionist technologies as well as decision aids mediated by algorithms and templates. This is what I refer to as the technologization of expertise. I suggest that there is overreliance on ‘expert systems’ by both experts and lay persons in everyday decision making. Access to and use of ‘expert systems’ in optimal ways inevitably necessitates a reconfiguration of the very conditions and consequences of professional expertise.

The internationalisation of higher education can be an exciting and rewarding process, opening up new opportunities for the entire academic community. As professionals and citizens of an increasingly connected world, all graduates of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) will require international perspectives and intercultural skills. For many faced with the task, it is difficult to know where to start and how to maintain the momentum that is needed. In this workshop, we will explore different approaches to the internationalisation of the teaching and learning process and the student experience bringing examples from other universities/HEIs in different regions of the world.
