Department & Centre Highlights 16 East Asia. Relevant perspectives on Asian popular culture include postcolonial studies, migration studies, urban and spatial studies, gender studies, and cultural history. There is also a focus on new multilingual and multicultural forms of culture in Asian settings, which are increasingly replacing their traditional monolingual/multicultural predecessors. From a linguistic perspective, there is a particular interest in the language and discourse of modern Asian popular culture. Located in The Hong Kong Institute of Education, the CPCH will also maintain a focus on educational implications and applications of developments in popular culture. This includes a continued interest in the uses of popular culture in language and literacy curricula in Hong Kong schools, as well as an interest in the role of popular culture in Humanities disciplines and General Education at the tertiary level. Listed below are some of the CPCH past achievements: Hosting the First International Conference on Popular Culture and Education 2009 Hosting the Second International Conference on Popular Culture and Education 2011 Publication of a special issue of Pedagogies: An International Journal in 2011, which contained papers from the 2009 conference Publication of the 3-volume Popular Culture in the Hong Kong Senior Secondary School English Curriculum in 2013 In the near future, the CPCH will organise a number of research sharing sessions and guest lectures; it is also planning to co-host an international conference on Hong Kong history in 2015 and exploring the possibility of launching Knowledge Transfer (KT) projects. he Centre for Popular Culture in the Humanities (CPCH), previously known as The Centre for Popular Culture and Education, was established in 2010. In the transition from the Faculty of Languages to the Faculty of Humanities, the development of research expertise in areas complementary to education is a priority. Popular culture is one cross-disciplinary area that offers considerable potential for development through research that bridges language and linguistics, literature and new media within the broad frameworks of Language Studies and Cultural Studies. The CPCH will adopt a broad view of popular culture that covers both the culture of everyday life and its mediation through print (newspapers, magazines, literature), multimodal media (music, cinema, photography and advertising, visual and material culture), and new digital media of various kinds. From the vantage point of Hong Kong, the CPCH will explore issues of popular culture in the Humanities from an Asian perspective. The study of everyday popular culture, for example, is studied in the context of the urban spaces of the modern and postmodern Asian city, while mediated popular culture is studied in the context of the developing popular culture industries of entre for Popular Culture in the Humanities 流行文化與人文學研究中心 C For more information about CPCH, please visit http://www.ied.edu.hk/cpch T
