POSTPONED | Identity, Intercultural Learning, and Undergraduate Music Programs in Hong Kong

Due to the ongoing CUPE 3903 collective action, this event has been postponed.

With Derrick Tu, York University

Dr Tu will explore how music can be used for intercultural learning in undergraduate music education by examining the effects of colonialism in Hong Kong. Through a comparative analysis of Chinese and European art music in the development of universities, he will demonstrate how identities constructed through the interactions between globalization, internationalization and local conditions pre- and post-1997 inform conceptualizations of culture and practices of interculturalism in post-secondary education.

Derrick Tu is a course director in the Faculty of Education at York University. He has published research on topics in the arts, citizenship education, identity, music education, research methods, and teacher education.

All are welcome.

This is the culminating event of the Hong Kong Studies Group Lecture Series 2023–24. The primary objectives of the series are to review, highlight and acknowledge the new knowledge that emerging scholars are contributing to the field of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Diaspora Studies, thereby shaping its future.
