On 27 May 2016, The Hong Kong Institute of Education celebrated a significant milestone and a new chapter in history, for it was ultimately retitled The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK). This is a historical and momentous moment which has been longed for among our students, staff members, alumni, stakeholders and supporters. With the new University title which will raise our profile as a whole, the Faculty of Humanities (FHM) will continue to consolidate our strengths and expertise in enhancing teaching and research, as well as to steer more rigorous regional and international collaboration. FHM has played an imperative role in the University’s strategic development in the transformation into a multidisciplinary University despite its youngest history in the University. Over the past years, FHM has overcome huge challenges to go through a long way from the Faculty’s restructuring, the revalidation of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies to the Programme Area Accreditation in Chinese Studies and English Studies. We have been striving our best to implement a series of reforms to pursue this common goal of the University titlement, such as reviewing and updating our curriculum, launching new programmes and courses, as well as expanding our teaching and research capacity. Today, our dreams have eventually come true, and members of FHM are proud to have made a contribution to the attainment of the University title. As we move towards the establishment of the University, FHM builds upon our pre-existing strengths to design new programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in a wider spectrum of the Humanities related disciplines. This issue features interviews with some of these great movers, including Professor Si Chung Mou and Dr. Liang Yuan, the Programme Leaders-Designate of the new Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese History) and the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language respectively, who will share with you the philosophy of these brand-new programmes which will be launched in the 2016/17 academic year. Faculty members of FHM have been highly recognised for their excellent achievements in the past year. For instance, Dr. Wong Leung Wo (Department of Literature and Cultural Studies) was awarded the Biennial Award in the Fiction Category at the 13th Hong Kong Biennial Award for Chinese Literature for his collection of fiction, Breakthrough from Hell. In addition, Dr. Wong’s fiction collection Transformation of Cockroaches was selected as one of the top ten fiction books of 2015 by Yazhou Zhoukan (Asia Weekly). Mr. Wong Yu Bon, Nicholas (Department of Literature and Cultural Studies) was awarded at the 28th Lambda Literary Award under the category of Gay Poetry for his collection of poetry, Crevasse. He is the first Asian poet receiving this honour. Besides, Dr. Chan Chi Tak’s (Department of Literature and Cultural Studies) book titled Hong Kong Literature 1919-1949: Modern Poetry, won the 8th Hong Kong Book Prize from the Culture and Education Unit of Radio Television Hong Kong and Hong Kong Publishing Federation. Dr. Cheung Sau Hung (Department of Chinese Language Studies) also won the President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Teaching in 2015/16. On the research front, FHM reached a record high in June 2015 by winning 6 General Research Fund (GRF) projects and 3 Early Career Scheme (ECS) projects amounting to a total of HK$2.4 million, with a success rate of 46.2% which was the highest among all Faculties and the then Institute’s GRF total rate (32.6%). I look forward to working closely with all the stakeholders of FHM in the coming days. With all our concerted efforts, I am sure that we will continue to take on all the challenges ahead and to make our contribution to Hong Kong and beyond, with our long-established strengths in humanities education.
