Date & Time: 12:10-13:30, 22 October 2025 (Wed)
Facilitator: Prof. Lian-Hee WEE (Professor of linguistics and Board Chair of the Transdisciplinary Undergraduate Programme, Hong Kong Baptist University)
Venue: T2-202
Language: English
Abstract: As universities embrace transdisciplinarity, we cannot simply revive Plato’s ideals or expect to turn students into polymaths. Instead, we can design courses that help them connect philosophically with themes across disciplines, view their field within the broader landscape of inquiry, and engage with issues beyond their training.

In this talk, Prof. Lian-Hee WEE will share his experiments in teaching “universal” themes—some successful, others less so—as a way to spark reflection on how educators might cultivate integrative, courageous, and intellectually adventurous learning in higher education.

Light lunch will be provided.
