News & Events

To foster a stronger departmental community and spark new ideas, the Department of Education Policy and Leadership (EPL) hosted a series of Brown Bag Seminars during Semester 1, 2025-26. These sessions provided a platform for colleagues and students to connect face-to-face, share research, including projects funded by the HKSAR Government, and discover fresh inspiration.

Following Dr Ewan Wright's successful launch session in May 2025, titled “Experiments with Conceptual Development: My Experience with Cosmopolitan Nationalism”, the participants enjoyed a vibrant series featuring:

• Dr Leung Wing Tat: Leading Student Engagement in an Event of Democratic Education: Reflections on APDEC 2025 in Indonesia
• Prof Anatoly Oleksiyenko: Demystifying International Research Leadership: Cross-Disciplinary Insights
• Mr Chong Yiu Kwong: When a Chair Professor was accused of plagiarism…
• Dr Lu Jiafang: Leading School Innovation: An Evolving Understanding
• Prof Sedat Gumus: Creating Equity in Learning Opportunities: How Do School Leaders Enact Socially Just Instructional Leadership in Practice?
• Dr Hayes Tang: Navigational Capital: Rethinking Graduate Employability for Uncertain Futures

These sessions were marked by lively interaction and engagement. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the presenters and participants for making this semester's Brown Bag Seminars a success. We look forward to continuing this valuable exchange with a new series of seminars in Semester 2.
