The Faculty of Humanities (FHM) has established four research centres to enhance expertise in language studies, linguistics, literature, history, cultural studies, music, and visual arts, with ongoing interdisciplinary development in digital humanities and comparative culture of care. In this article, we spotlight one of the research centres, the Centre for Research on Chinese Language and Education (CRCLE).

人文學院於2024年9月14日舉辦了團體建立活動，這次的活動的參與對象為語文研究榮譽文學士及漢語作為第二語言教學榮譽文學士的高年級入學新生，以及英語研究及數碼傳訊榮譽文學士的所有新生，冀同學能建立友愛互助的關係，展開大學新一頁。

My background is very interdisciplinary, encompassing training in Art History, Theatre, Film and Media Studies, and Philosophy (both analytic and Continental). My first book, published by Harvard University Press, was a study of anti-theatricality in 16th century England and 17th century France, a study, that is, on why influential groups vigorously contested the value of theatre, going so far, even, to see it as a source of various harms. I have a great love of theatre myself and at one time, in Montreal, I was a member of a German theatre group that performed at the Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal. However, most of my research contributions fall under Cinema Studies. My research has been quite issues-driven and I have focused on questions related to: creativity under constraint, risk, sustainability, talent development, soft power, transnational collaboration, human rights, health and well-being, public value, and small nations, all in the context of film. It is my hope that my commitment to interdisciplinarity will be helpful in the context of both the Department and the Faculty. As I understand it, there may also be scope to develop some interesting programmes at the Masters level that could draw on some of my interests, networks, etc.
