Community Health Workers, Stress Reduction, And Racial Equity In Infant Vitality, Justin Rex

ICS Fellow Lectures

How can communities help mothers reduce stress during pregnancy and provide the social supports that contribute to infant vitality? This talk presented findings from an evaluation of the Northwest Ohio Pathways HUB program, a nationally recognized best practice program model that pairs at-risk mothers with community health workers (CHWs) who connect mothers to services that reduce pregnancy risks. The talk included stories from mothers and CHWs about the challenges and stresses they face as well as data from interviews and surveys that quantify the impact CHWs have for reducing mothers' stress and providing supports that help mothers and their children …

Poetic Portraits Of Older Women In The Great Black Swamp, Sandra L. Faulkner

Making American Opera After Einstein, Ryan Ebright Dr.

ICS Fellow Lectures

In the wake of the avant-garde opera Einstein on the Beach in 1976, opera in the United States experienced a renaissance, one which has continued to the present. My book project, Making American Opera after Einstein, centers on contemporary attempts to remake opera in an American image. In it, I detail how American opera—as a genre, a sphere of cultural institutions, an expression of national identity—has transformed significantly over the past four decades. Whereas many composers embrace operatic convention, tailoring their operas to audiences through adaptations of cherished American stories, others attempt to test the genre’s aesthetic boundaries. By exploring …

World Wide Wake: A Look Into Digital Wake Work In Response To The Murder Of Breonna Taylor, Kalyn T. Coghill

Graduate Research Posters

In Christina Sharpe's, In the Wake, she refers to "wake work" as conscious work. Wake work makes a conscious and intentional effort to celebrate one's life as they are passing and after they have transitioned on. Wake work includes grief, sadness, reminiscing, happiness, laughter, and many more emotions. We think of wake work happening in the physical, but I want to look at how weight work exists in the digital. This paper will discuss how wake work is done in digital spaces such as social media platforms. I will also be looking at how social movements such as black …

12_調景嶺的青天白日, 王 國儀

專題講座

今日的西貢以「香港後花園」見稱，位於新界東部的離島地區，環抱山水，景色優美，是各歐美人士和影視紅星聚居之地，亦是各行山愛好者的週末好去處。不過，有誰會想到數十年來西貢經歷了滄海桑田？西貢調景嶺曾經是國民政府遺民的聚居點，依靠港英政府的救濟；而萬宜灣則曾是數個客家聚落的鄉土，村民以耕種和捕魚維生。1970年代起，調景嶺居民的經濟改善，逐漸遷出區外居住；而萬宜水庫的興建則使西貢移山填海，舊村落從此淹沒水底。是次是講座和考察將帶領參加者回到過去，認識西貢已消逝的歷史，感受昔日山區水鄉的情懷。

10_「新市鎮」探研 — 荃葵青的舊貌新顏, Yue Sang Leung, Cho Nga Leung, Kwan Kin, Kenneth Wong

專題講座

荃灣、葵涌及青衣是香港第一代新市鎮。早於1950年代，政府銳意在鄰近九龍的地區開闢土地，以「自給自足，均衡發展」為理念，拓展新市鎮。自此，擁有數百年歷史的荃葵青便經歷翻天覆地的變化：大規模的移山填海改變了原來的地貌；舊村落的搬遷重置騰出了發展空間；新道路網絡的建設打通了區內外的流動；各式樓房大廈的興建令人事活動驟增。是次講座暨考察活動以荃葵青的歷史發展為經，以新市鎮拓展為緯，細說區內數百年來的蛻變。

09_香港離島風光, Man Hing So

專題講座

香港除了繁華的都市面貌外，還有清幽閒靜的一面。香港的離島大多保留了其自然風貌和簡樸的鄉村風情。是次講座將為各位介紹香港別具特色的離島，包括塔門、東平洲、吉澳和蒲台島。其中有「香港南極」之稱的蒲台島歷史十分悠久，早在1425年繪製的《鄭和航海圖》裡已有記載。在上世紀五六十年代，這個小小的島嶼曾居住高達2,000人，村民大多以捕維生，但隨漁業沒落，居民相繼遷出，現時島上雖然僅餘不到20名居民，卻仍然保留了豐富的人文資源。是次考察將帶各位到蒲台島感受當地的風土面貌和如畫的自然景色。

08_日軍侵港與聖士提反書院, Guopei Chen

專題講座

1941年12月8日，日軍渡過深圳河正式向香港發動侵略戰。至平安夜，日軍攻至英軍在港島南端最後的一個據點—赤柱，兩軍爆發激戰。最終港督楊慕奇在聖誕日宣佈投降，為香港三年零八個月的艱苦歲月正式揭開了序幕。現時赤柱仍遺下不少日軍侵略及管治的遺址，其中設於聖士堤反書院內的文物徑更為這段歷史保留了甚為珍貴的文化財產。

06_從德輔道中看香港的歷史軌跡, Ka Kin, Kelvin Chow

專題講座

昔日德輔道中建有不少古味盎然的英國及歐陸式建築，極富殖民地色彩。現今兩旁商業樓宇林立，人群穿梭其中，往往忽略這裡既是香港政經中心，亦是文康之地。德輔道中不只展現出香港商業發展的成果，亦蘊藏著大小不同的故事，見證香港人辛勞的足印。

05_追尋戰前香港華人, Sun Pao, Joseph Ting

專題講座

在英國的殖民管治下，香港華人漸漸學會生活處世，以至生財謀利之道，一方面組織團體與政府爭取議事空間，另一方面與外國人合作發展。戰前香港不乏赫赫有名的華人領袖，他們在政商界甚具影響力，為香港歷史作出莫大的貢獻。

2016年10月5日，講者丁新豹博士就「追尋香港戰前華人」為主題，與參加者分享香港戰前顯赫的華人事跡。

04_香港航運與港口發展與變遷, Kwong Lim Tam

專題講座

自唐宋以降，位處華南一隅的香港一直是船隻南北往返中國沿岸的重要通道。英國佔領後，香港以自由港作招徠，轉口貿易迅即成為香港的經濟支柱。戰後隨著香港華人船東的崛起，香港航運業發展非常蓬勃，港口設施也日益完備。近年配合國家的經濟策略，香港航運業與港口發展正面臨新的挑戰與機遇。

03_街名背後的香港史, Chi Pang Lau

專題講座

香港的街道命名經歷過多個階段，採取過不同的方式和機制，形成今日百花齊放的局面。香港開埠早期的街道名稱多以人名命名，而近年則普遍以地區特徵加上吉祥字詞組成，各具特色。在這些街道名稱的背後，往往都有一些值得探索的歷史故事。劉智鵬博士於講座中講解一些香港街道名稱的背景由來，讓大家從另一個角度去認識本地歷史。
