A Resounding Success – The 8th UAC

The 8th Undergraduate Academic Conference (UAC) on Humanities concluded successfully on 14 June 2024. It assembled students from 36 institutions in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, with the opening and closing ceremonies as well as parallel sessions attracting 450 participants. These papers cover myriads of topics, including Chinese literary studies, world literature, history and culture, media and performance arts, and linguistics.

We were honoured to invite Prof Giuseppa Tamburello from the University of Palermo to present her insightful keynote speech. We were thrilled that the participating students were enthusiastic about sharing their thoughts during the panel discussion sessions. Meanwhile, two major awards were given to outstanding students in recognition of their academic excellence.
