🎊中大文學院衷心祝賀文化及宗教研究系黃詠欣教授榮獲2025年度「青年學者研究成就獎」。

黃教授的研究探討全球脈絡下藝術與科技交匯領域中，藝術家與從業者的文化經濟。她結合理論與實踐，研究範疇涵蓋媒體藝術史、媒體與文化研究以及技術哲學。作為MetaObjects（元物）工作室的聯合創辦人，她亦透過實務經驗汲取知識，將其回饋於學術研究之中。她的研究成果刊載於多本主要期刊和專書，包括《Leonardo》（2026）、《Artnodes》（2025）、《DATAbrowser》（2025）和《Visual Culture Studies》（2022）；另出版了個人專著《Ecologies of Artistic Practice: Rethinking Cultural Economies through Art and Technology》（麻省理工學院出版社，2025）。

黃教授對獲此獎項深感榮幸，並表示：「我衷心感謝文化及宗教研究系和文學院為青年學者提供研究機會，並給予充足支持；也感謝我的同事和合作夥伴一直以來的鼓勵和幫助。」

Professor Wong’s research explores the cultural economies of artists and practitioners working at the intersections of art and technology within a global context. Bridging theory and practice, her research engages media art history, media and cultural studies, and philosophy of technology, while drawing knowledge through her own practice as co-founder of the studio, MetaObjects. Professor Wong has published in journals and book chapters in 𝘓𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘰 (2026); 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘴 (2025); 𝘋𝘈𝘛𝘈𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴𝘦𝘳 (2025); 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 (2022). She is the author of the monograph, 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦: 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 (The MIT Press, 2025).

Shared by Professor Wong, “I am grateful to the Department of Cultural and Religious Studies and the Faculty of Arts for their continued support in fostering research opportunities for early-career scholars. I also thank my colleagues and collaborators for their ongoing encouragement and support. I am deeply honored to receive this award.”

2026 Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Summer School Livable Futures: Asia as Worlding

The future has become an emergency. We live amid collapsing climates, datafied borders, disinformation wars, and infrastructures stretched thin by carelessness and extraction. Crisis has hardened into habit, and the only horizon offered to us is survival. Livable Futures begins with the refusal of this horizon. It insists that the work of imagining and sustaining life cannot be deferred. To live — now — is to act within uncertainty, to build forms of relation, repair, and imagination that make the present inhabitable. Livability, as we frame it here, is not a condition but a mode of worlding: an ongoing act of making and maintaining the worlds we inhabit. To speak of liveable futures is to ask how worlds are built, by whom, and for whom — and how they might be otherwise. This turn from Asia as method to Asia as worlding marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society as an invitation to think beyond knowledge as comparison, toward knowledge as cohabitation and composition. Worlding allows us to situate theory, art, activism, and pedagogy as entangled labours in the making of shared futures. Livability does not promise safety or comfort. It names a shared practice of composition — of creating conditions where individuals and communities can endure, connect, and thrive even in exhaustion. It asks how we might inhabit the broken infrastructures of our times differently: how to turn technologies into gestures of care, stories into spaces of solidarity, and networks into collective acts of repair. This Summer School takes liveability as both question and method. It proposes that the future is not something we await but something we world — a collective act of imagining, negotiating, and composing in the cracks of what already exists.

Dates: 25th July – 3rd August 2026.

Venue: School of Journalism & Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Primary Language: English
