This special Cha Reading Series event features five academics from different universities in Hong Kong to share and discuss their vision of how their research and teaching have an impact on our community, and the challenges and difficulties they face, as well as their rewarding experiences. This will be a two-hour long informal discussion and reading, which is open to the public. Each speaker will talk about their own experiences for 10-12 mins, followed by a moderated discussion, a reading, and a Q&A.
