FHM Researchers - Prof CHENG Kat Hung Dennis

Chair Professor of Cultural History
Department of Literature and Cultural Studies (LCS)

My professional expertise falls within the scope of Chinese studies in the global context, while methodologically highlights the bridging of philology and philosophy. I enjoy intellectual exchanges of all sorts and all disciplines. Recently I am interested in sentimental philosophy in the Eastern spiritual tradition in the light of contemporary theory of psycho-therapy and religious studies. Students are welcome to liaise with me via email for consultations.
