  1. David T.K. Wong's Hong Kong Stories, Then and Now. Timothy Weiss, Chinese University of Hong Kong

    This paper will consider representations of Hong Kong in David T.K. Wong’s Hong Kong Stories (1996); making use in part of student surveys, it will compare readings of stories at the time of the collection’s publication with those of today, fourteen-years later.

  2. Intersectionality of Canonical Texts and Modernity: Confucianism as a Case Study. Li-Hsiang Rosenlee, University of Hawai'i, West O'ahu

    My presentation deals with the compatibility between Confucianism as found in classical texts and care ethics as a form of feminist ethics. My contention is that a hybrid Confucian-feminist care ethics is able to offer a distinct conceptual alternative to women to realize gender parity.
