The general education (GE) curriculum nurtures lifelong learning, expands perspectives and facilitates holistic growth to empower students for future careers.
As is the tradition, the FAH offers a range of general education courses across related humanities disciplines, presenting more opportunities for students to gain and apply knowledge. The FAH GE lectures cover a wide range of disciplines and topics to expose students with diverse knowledge and broaden their horizons. Students will be able to better understand the connection and conformity of different subjects through the interdisciplinary general education. The GE lecture series includes moral, cultural and social topics to enhance their humanistic quality and social responsibility.
In light of this, the FAH mobilized full professors to continue to conduct general education lectures in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2024/2025. This gives students more chances to engage with the FAH scholars and gain a deeper insight into general education’s knowledge frameworks.
The Eight General Education (GE) lectures were successfully held during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, featuring a diverse range of topics. offering students and faculty a rich variety of ideas across philosophy, literature, art, and technology.
In February, Prof. Hans-Georg Moeller presented “Truth and Order in Chinese and European Philosophy,” followed by Dean Jie Xu’s lecture (in Chinese) “Language Has Rules, Rules Can Be Broken, and Breaking Them Has Conditions.”
The March featured 3 lectures: Prof. Li Defeng’s “Reflections on Translating Dream of the Red Chamber” and Prof. Li Jun’s “What is China? — from the Perspective of Art History”, both in Chinese, plus Prof. Victoria Harrison’s “Taylor Swift and the Meaning of Life.”
The April lectures included Prof. Sun Yifeng’s “Why Translate Literature? The Power of Stories Across Borders,” as well as Prof. Lampo Leong’s “Advancing Innovation in Art and Design through Digital Technology and AI,” and Prof. Wang Yudong’s “Ways to appreciate Along the River During the Qingming Festival” (both delivered in Chinese).
