ABOUT
Welcome from the Dean

Once again I am delighted to welcome this year’s cohort to the Society of Fellows in the Humanities. Each new fellow brings an exciting project and set of intellectual concerns to the Society. Since its inception, the Society has attracted several outstanding cohorts which have been nothing short of exceptional in their vibrancy, intellectual dynamism, and in the inspiring contributions they have made to the Schools and Departments within the Faculty and to the University of Hong Kong. Many of the fellows in previous cohorts have already received tenure-track and related jobs in Asia or Europe, some even before the term of their fellowship was completed. With such a talented group and the first-rate experience they have enjoyed within the Faculty, these are the kinds of successful outcomes we are working to ensure for every fellow. May I wish our new cohort an equally auspicious beginning to what we can guarantee will be an exciting and productive journey with us.
