Service Learning In Loyola College, Chennai : Loyola Extension Awareness Programme (Leap) : For First Year Pg Students, M. S. Joseph Antony Jacob

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The subjects that the students study in the class room should be deeply reflected in the field. It should not be mere observation learning, but actually plunging into action through demonstration. For example, Students of the Chemistry Department rightly chooses to conduct the consumer awareness programme by demonstrating some adulterated food and its adverse impact on health. Students of commerce departments should study the business know-how, various marketing techniques and new innovation in business. Students of economics department should study the developmental schemes of the government and its impact on the rural Masses. Thus service learning in Loyola is of …

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

In 2014, Youth Development Administration (YDA), Ministry of Education in Taiwan launched a half-day program called "inspection and connection of schools and community organizations workshop" which was taken place for 10 times over Taiwan (i.e., 3 times in northern, central and southern Taiwan, once in eastern Taiwan).

They are regarded as facilitators who can shape their holistic efforts through collaborative partnerships. These partnerships give service learning programs a structure to mobilize people and resources to create changes and to develop learning opportunities for students. …

Service-Learning Impact On Community Engagement : From The Graduates' Perspectives, Cheung Ming, Alfred Chan, Hok Ka, Carol Ma, Wing Fung, Chad Chan

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Service-Learning (S-L) is pedagogy that has been newly introduced into Hong Kong's higher education institutes. Thus, most local, recent studies focus on implication and evaluation of the S-L program for the existing students. There is lack of study about the long-term impact of S-L, especially for graduate students. Lingnan University (LU) as the only liberal art university in Hong Kong, aims to equip LU students with whole person development skills, as well as the capability to serve the community in the future. The Office of Service-Learning (OSL) was established in 2006 to promote S-L in Lingnan, echoing the university's motto …

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

While internships bridge students' academic major to the world of work, in this paper, we focus on practicums as vehicles for service leadership development. In the summers of 2013 and 2014, Lingnan University arranged 28 full-time practicums in 13 partner organizations, mainly not-for-profit organizations or social enterprises, for students with prior service-learning experience. Practicums lasted 6 weeks in 2013, and 8 weeks in 2014. Students attended a 3-hour preparatory workshop on service leadership, and an interim review meeting.

Through interviews with 26 practicum students and site supervisors from 13 partner organizations, we identified three factors that enabled practicum students to …

This study, anchored on selected communication theories, looks into the methods of dissemination and practices used or observed from inter-personal to group, mass and social media - by Service-Learning advocates in the University …

The Development And Confirmatory Factor Analysis Of The "Service-Learning Reflection Scale" For Undergraduates, Mei Jiun Lin, Yuk Ying Tung, Tong Miao Chang

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The purpose of this study is to develop and to examine the construct validity of the "service-learning reflection scale" for undergraduates based on Kolb's learning theory. The research aims to: (1) recognize undergraduates' levels of reflection for service-learning; (2) let undergraduates understand their learning styles; (3) evaluate the effect of service-learning for the instructors. We used the Likert's style to make the scales. There are 33 items in the initial scale divided into four subscales inclusive of the concrete experience (CE), the reflection observation (RO), the abstract conceptualization (AC), and the active experience (AE). For the very first time, we …

Service-Learning As Pedagogy For The Study Of Art And Community, Suk Mun, Sophia Law

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The study of art in higher education has long focused on art history and practice, masters and masterpieces. Art, in its fund amental sense, is a language written in images that applies to all, not just to the talented and privileged. It has a close relationship with and considerable influence on the development of both individuals and communities. Art and Well Being, a programme elective offered by the Department of Visual Studies at Lingnan University, investigates the intrinsic nature of art as a language for expression and communication. It provides students with a new perspective on seeing art, provoking an …

Between "Chicken Worm" And "Sunken Boat" : Bounded Masculinity In The Chinese Sex Industry = 在「雞蟲」與「沉船」之間 : 華人性工業中的玩界男性化特質, Travis S. K. Kong

《新自由主義下的新道德》研討會 NEO-MORALISM UNDER NEOLIBERALISM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Drawn from 24 in-depth interviews and 2 focus group discussions conducted since 2012 with Hong Kong men who buy sex (‘male clients’) in the Chinese sex industry, this paper discusses men’s involvement with commercial sex in relation to their male identity.

A few types of client masculinity have been identified: ‘Chicken worm’ (or McSex masculinity) refers to those men who are proud of paying for rather impersonal sex with as many women as they wish whilst ‘sunken boat’ (or Titanic masculinity) refers to those men who passionately seek intense emotional intimacy with sex workers. Between these two opposing types, ‘bounded’ …

性工作女性主義 : 偶然與必然 = Already Historiography : Sex Work (And) Feminism, Naifei Ding

《新自由主義下的新道德》研討會 NEO-MORALISM UNDER NEOLIBERALISM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

In this paper, I read a selection of historians and sociologists located in the US and UK on women’s organization for indexical signs to how feminism as language (in English) emerges as a pedagogical imperative from the post-war, cold war period into the present. This particular lineage of feminism is traceable through new cold war histories of the last decade examining the role of feminism as tutelage in US-brand democracy. These fragments of a story are placed alongside some of these scholars’ self-reflections on the state of US feminism as thought and lesson, as the latter continue to exert juridical …

慢性病的檢疫隔離與與道德重整 : 醫療治理、治療公民權與台灣愛滋列管產業 = Hiv Care As Moral Quarantine : Medical Governance, Therapeutic Citizenship And The Making Of The Aids Surveillance Industry In Taiwan, Tao Ming, Hans Huang

《新自由主義下的新道德》研討會 NEO-MORALISM UNDER NEOLIBERALISM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

One defining character of HIV care in Taiwan is that it’s built as an integral part of the punitive regime of HIV control, a regime buttressed by stigmatizing public health measures such as name-based reporting, quarterly tracking, mandatory testing, and above all, criminalization of HIV transmission. Within this context, transnational technologies of care and prevention have come to be assembled in specific ways. Notably, a new apparatus of the hospital-based HIV case management program was installed in 2005 as the state’s attempt to tighten its control over the drug-using HIV population. With its increasing link to the burgeoning local AIDS …

Defining Desires And Dangerous Decisions = 界定慾望與危險抉擇, Amber Hollibaugh

《新自由主義下的新道德》研討會 NEO-MORALISM UNDER NEOLIBERALISM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

The power of desire and its often dangerous consequences are among the most important of human experiences, directing many of the choices we make throughout much of life. They mark and shape us, open us up in directions we never imagined possible, possess significance and hidden meanings we struggle with lifelong. Sometimes our desires lead to consequences we would never have chosen. But sex, and the ability it has to move and explode with a fierce power, is also one of the most precious and remarkable gifts we possess as human beings.

人類其中一種最重要的經驗，便是體現慾望的力量，以及承擔往往隨之而來的危險後果。這些經驗主導了我們人生大部份的抉擇，在我們身上留下印記，形塑我們，向我們展示我們從未想像過的路向，也在我們一生中，佔有重要但不易彰顯的意義。這些意義也需要我們一直與之協商；有時候慾望所帶來的後果並非我們原初以為選擇了的，但是性相 (sexuality) 特有的爆烈與撩動人心的力量，正是我們生而為人最寶貴、最卓越的天賦之一。

新自由主義與新道德主義 = Neoliberalism And New Moralism, Yin Bin Ning

《新自由主義下的新道德》研討會 NEO-MORALISM UNDER NEOLIBERALISM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

新自由主義在本文中被當作這兩三百年由西方民族國家所主導的資本主義全球化 的最晚近階段之方案，與西方民族國家曾實施之禁運、圍堵、貿易關稅壁壘屬於同類的擴張-支配邏輯。這一邏輯推進的效果不只在經濟面向，而且在政治、文化、法律、農業、技術、生態等方面，可以說其實是西方文明的更全面的全球現代化，其企圖或前提也許是歷史的終結，但是首先卻引向了文明的衝突。文明衝突實際上聚攏了資本主義的諸多矛盾，以及主權國家之間、各民族或地方文化之間、各種身分之間、個人想望與現實之間等各種矛盾的多重決定。但是文明衝突之所以能凝聚各種矛盾而成為症候性的表述，仍是因為新自由主義的全球現代性產生同質性的效果，所謂剷平世界的力量，也就是朝向單一的文明現代性。對這個單一的 (主要是西方個人自由主義的) 文明現代性的批評無法在本文中展開；然而，這篇文章認為在抵抗新自由主義全球化方面，多樣現代性的提法雖然不是充分的，但卻是不可或缺的，並且在這個多樣現代性的冠銜下，聚攏對於國際政治、經濟、文化的不平等秩序之抵抗，指向了非西方模式的經濟、政治、文化的可能，由此開展多樣現代性之間的競逐，這將是我們這個時代最主要的局勢發展。以上是這篇文章前半部份的背景說明，本文第二部份則是注意新自由主義在文化與價值方面產生的政治效果與治理方式，我將之稱為「新道德主義」，它的起初環節是新自由主義内涵的普世進步主義，普世進步主義就是說:進步不是相對於特定歷史社會、一種倡議的進步與否不是在具體脈絡中被評價，進步體現了普世價值故而是内在地自我証成；性別平等、動物保護、憲政民主、同性婚姻、環境保護、兒童保護等等普世進步價值乃是西方文明現代所揭橥的人類永恆理想，在任何時空都適用。然而上述這種道德進步主義在爭取成為主流的實踐上，卻吸納了許多道德保守派的面向，後者也因此採用了許多進步主義修辭而同樣地佔據了主流空間，由此，由道德進步主義與道德保守派共治或輪流作莊的情況出現了，我將之稱為「新道德主義」- 雖然我主要描述的是台灣情況，但是或許這是個觀察冷戰以後世界的一個參考座標。

In this article, neoliberalism refers to the project marking the latest stage of the globalization of capitalism, a process that has been directed during the past two to three hundred years by western nation-states. Neoliberalism shares the same logic of expansion-dominance as the erstwhile strategy of western nation-states in setting up trade and customs barriers, embargo or encirclement. The effects of the imposition of this logic are seen not only in the economy, but also in politics, culture, law, agriculture, technology and ecology. It may be possible to regard neoliberalism as a more comprehensive way …
