| Topic: | The Teacher in Chinese Culture: Reflections on a Lifetime of Personal Encounters |
| Date: | 20 November 2023 (Monday) |
| Time: | 2:30 pm – 5:00 pm |
| Venue: | D1-LP-02, Tin Ka Ping Lecture Theatre |
| Speaker: | Professor Ruth Hayhoe, SBS （許美德教授，SBS） Professor of the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada |
| Abstract: | In this presentation, Ruth will share her experience of Chinese culture in very different eras, from 1967 to present day. As a young Canadian teacher, she lived in Hong Kong from 1967 to 1978, before returning to a very different city in 1997 to lead the Hong Kong Institute of Education until 2002. Between these two unforgettable periods, she experienced China opening up as a teacher at Fudan University in Shanghai from 1980 to 1982, and a contrasting country as Cultural Attaché in the Canadian Embassy in Beijing from 1989 to 1991. Through experiences of such dramatic change, came an ever-deeper engagement with Chinese culture and what it means to be a teacher in the country. Ruth will recount stories relating to some of the encounters that have opened her mind and enriched her life. |
