《嶺南學報》小史述略 : 兼論陳寅恪與《嶺南學報》, Zhan Huang

嶺南大學漢學國際研討會暨《嶺南學報》復刊工作會議 International Conference on Sinology at Lingnan University

1888年，美國長老會傳教士在廣州創建格致書院。1903年，書院更名為「嶺南學校」，是為「嶺南」用作校名之始。1927年，學校易名為嶺南大學，鐘榮光先生出任校長。自此，嶺大發展為文理商工農醫兼顧的綜合性學府。四十年代，抗日戰爭及國共內戰致使大批學者避難粵廣，不少人進入嶺大執教。這一歷史機遇，也鑄就了嶺大最為輝煌的一段學史。1952年，全國大專院校進行院系調整，教會大學無法繼續存在，嶺大遂被分割合併至其他數所大學。其中，文理科撥歸中山大學，而原嶺大校址康樂園也成為中山大學的新居。

表徵嶺大學術成果者，乃二十世紀上半葉世所推重的《嶺南學報》。《學報》於1929年12月創刊，1952年6月隨著院系調整而終刊。二十三年間，《學報》共刊行35期。下文即對《學報》歷史做一個回顧。

University Scholar Series

The History of Philosophy in Latin America

On October 29, 2013, Dr. Carlos Sánchez gave a talk titled “The History of Philosophy in Latin America” in the University Scholar Series hosted by Provost Ellen Junn at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. Dr. Carlos Sánchez’s research focuses on the history of philosophy in Latin America. His latest work proposes that Latin American philosophy, particularly in the last century, manifests itself as a form of “decolonial critique,” or a critical confrontation with the lingering force of colonialism in Latin America. Sánchez has recently published a book about the phenomenology of …

A New Way To Improve Design Students’ Creativity - Based On Thinking Style, Yang Zhang

Learn X Design Conference Series

China is developing rapidly in many areas; currently over 50% of products (including household supplies, industrial products, some raw materials) in the world are 'made in China'. However, during the past 30 years of reformation and opening, there have been very few designers, educated in China, with a global reputation. To change current situation of 'made in china' to 'created in china', re-energizing Chinese design education is important. The research focus on higher education and explores new approaches to improve design students' creativity. Thinking styles are not dictate by physical condition. This indicates that we cannot judge a person’s thinking …

E-Learning As A Balanced Way Of Teaching Museums And Exhibitions To Provide Both Theoretical And Practical Education, Dina Zaki

Learn X Design Conference Series

One of the challenges of teaching museums and exhibitions courses is that the lecturer has to both teach a theoretical curriculum and organize field trips. The aim is to make the student practice museum education as a model of communication-educational patterns, and recognizes the importance of art exhibitions in developing creativity within the curriculum of a bachelor stage of art education in Egypt. However, the course includes a large amount of knowledge, such as types of museums and the nature of art exhibitions, as well as the importance of museums, in addition to the practical portion, which includes the design …

A Phenomenographic Pilot Study Of Students’ Conceptions Of Design Research, Jesvin Puay-Hwa Yeo

Learn X Design Conference Series

In view of the current inadequacies of design research, a group of art and design researchers have urged for alternative research methodologies, which is challenged by opposing views that a formal research structure and a rigorous research should similarly be applied to design research. To address these divergent views, this paper aims to explore the potential use of formal research procedures in design research. This study uses the phenomenography method as the basis of its research design. Focusing on visual communication studies at undergraduate level, this paper is a documentation of the development and implementation of the formal research procedures …

Oer Impact: Towards An Evidence Base, Rob Farrow

SJSU Open Access Conference

The open education movement has achieved much in the last decade, but there remains wide acknowledgement that the impact of OER has yet to be fully understood. A suggested approach is to address this through collective approaches that collate information and present them back in an integrated way. This has some appeal, particularly in the way it matches to ideals of openness, but needs to be implemented with care.

In this presentation I critically evaluate attempts that have been made to support communication and collaboration through ‘mapping’ OER. After endorsing the basic rationale for mapping evidence surrounding OER implementation I …

Culture Clash: Symbolic Capital And The Limits To Open Access Journal Growth In The Humanities And Social Sciences, David Michalski

SJSU Open Access Conference

Each year brings more open access peer-review journals to the humanities and social sciences. Yet despite this proliferation, for-profit publishers continue to dominate, and hold the most prestigious journals in their portfolios, pushing the tipping point imagined by open access advocates seemingly out of reach. This project examines the social life of academic publishing to better understand the obstacles preventing a more robust turn to open access, one that does not simply mean more journals, but one that sees the more prestigious journals opting for an open access platform.

Drawing on the work of cultural sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu, I examine …

Constructing Design Knowledge Built Up On The Kindergarten Education, Meryem Yalcin

Learn X Design Conference Series

This study aims to further the growing body of knowledge about design education with an alternative view; discussing the importance of beginning it at the kindergarten which ideally suits to the approach " develop the creative-thinking skills". In an environment where children" imagines, creates, practices, modifies, recognises, manipulates, shares etc..." knowledge, experiences and objects through play are crucial issues in the design education. Derived from this concern the study brings the argument of advancing and directing early childhood education on the basis of 'basic design issues' such as design principles, conceptualization, 2D/3D spatial allocation and composition more comprehensively which will …

Teaching New Product Development To Design Led Innovation, Cara Wrigley, Sam Bucolo

Learn X Design Conference Series

Recently many international tertiary educational programs have capitalised on the value design and business can have upon their interception (Martin, 2009; Brown, 2008; Bruce and Bessant, 2002; Manzini, 2009). This paper discusses the role that two teaching units – New Product Development and Design Led Innovation – play in forming an understanding of commercialisation needed in today’s Industrial Design education. These units are taught consecutively in the later years of the Bachelor of Industrial Design program at the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. In this paper, each teaching unit is discussed in detail and then as a conglomerate, in …

The Creative Citizen: Understanding The Value Of Design Education Programs In The Knowledge Economy, Natalie Wright, Rebekah Davis, Sam Bucolo

Learn X Design Conference Series

The knowledge economy relies on the diffusion and use of knowledge as well as its creation (Houghton and Sheenan, 2000). The future success of economic activity will depend on the capacity of organisations to transform by increasing their flexibility. In particular, this transformation is dependant on a decentralised, networked and multi-skilled workforce. To help organisations transition, new strategies and structures for education are required. Education systems need to concentrate less on specialist skills and more on the development of people with broad-based problem solving skills that are adaptable, with social and inter-personal communication skills necessary for networking and communication. This …

Design And Business Double Education: Cross-Country Comparison, Fabiane Wolff, Birgitte Borja De Mozota, Andrea Capra, Daniela Szabluk, Julia Stephanou Nascimento

Learn X Design Conference Series

Design thinking is the buzz in the management community these days. Managers are encouraged to get out of the box, apply user-oriented research and think more systemically and less analytically, the way designers are trained to do. Previous research on business education best-sellers in France and Brazil shows evidence that design is not considered or is restricted to a very limited content, pointing out that managers are not prepared to understand design. That reality is also perceived on the day by day relationships of both designers and managers and brings forth the issue of double education. Is it the solution? …

Developing Design Thinking Expertise In Higher Education, Andrew Withell, Neil Haigh

Learn X Design Conference Series

Design Thinking describes a human-centred methodology for innovation, which has evolved from the study of the unique ways in which designers 'think', and 'practice'. There is growing evidence of the increased uptake of Design Thinking in design, business and other disciplines, and there is an emerging body of research. There is a need to develop sound University curricula that are founded in relevant theory and research findings, however, there appears to be a relatively small amount of rigorous research on the learning and teaching of Design Thinking. This paper presents the initial stages of a PhD research project that explores …

Specifically exploring how appropriate methods can be used to foster deep learning in respect to the social aspects of sustainable product design.The importance of deep learning is reflected in both the sustainable design education (O’Rafferty et al., 2008, Griffith and Bamford, 2007) and education for sustainability literature (Warburton, 2003).Three 'Rethinking Design' workshops were designed and developed as part of the doctoral main study to introduce students to the wider social aspects of sustainability and were …

Improving Simulations Of Sonic Booms Heard Indoors And Outdoors And Explore How The Sound Characteristics Affect Annoyance, Yingxiang Jiang, Patricia Davies

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Supersonic flights can greatly shorten the flight time in the world and provide convenience for people all over the world. However, commercial supersonic flights over US territories are banned by Federal Aviation Administration in 1973 due to the intolerably loud noise of sonic booms. Recently, a few demonstrator aircraft have been built that produce much quieter booms. To determine whether the new boom is acceptable, many laboratory researchers are using simulated sonic boom signals for subjective test because the method is easy and cost-efficient, whereas it might not have enough fidelity to address the effect of the original one. In …

Form, Fit And Flair: Considering The Design Doctorate, Laurene Vaughan, Andrew Morrison

Learn X Design Conference Series

Across the domains of design education the Design PhD is an area of much contemporary discussion and debate internationally. As the field of the discipline of design matures, so does its relationship with this qualification: its form, methods and relevance within and beyond the academy. In this paper, the authors critically reflect on their respective observations of differing models of undertaking design PhDs and subsequent models of submission and examination. Founded in their observations of the diversity of design PhDs pedagogically and structurally, the authors have begun a global mapping of current PhDs in design and are exploring how the …

A “Filing System” For Teaching Research Skills In Interior Architecture Education, Jan Vanrie, Kris Pint

Learn X Design Conference Series

Creating physical environments for humans, more specifically the design disciplines of interior architecture/design, involves a wide variety of aspects to be considered: material, technical, cultural, psychological, artistic... It is therefore important to provide students with the necessary tools (research skills) not only to address the different types of problems and questions that arise during this creative process, but –ultimately- also to ensure the continuing development of interior architecture as a profession and as an academic discipline through the development of its proper research methods. However, we have been coming across a number of obstacles and challenges in our effort to …

K-12 Design Education, Creativity, And The Corporate World, Robin Vande Zande

Learn X Design Conference Series

Creativity has been described by a number of researchers as a 21st Century Skill and a way for students to succeed as learners, workers, and citizens. The corporate sector has had tremendous impact on what happens in American education for years and continues to do so. Teachers should understand that it is often beneficial to speak the language of business and cite corporate authors to offer validation for what they teach as being essential for creative skills. An effective way for teachers to teach creativity in the context of business is through design education, a natural integrator of various subject …
