主讲嘉宾：徐国琦 现为张学义中国史讲席教授和香港大学跨国史研究院创院院长 (Prof. Guoqi Xu, David H. Y. Chang Professor of Chinese History, Department of History, Founding director of the Institute of Transnational History of China, The University of Hong Kong)
演讲题目及简介：本讲座基于同名新书The Idea of China: A Contested History (Harvard University Press, 2026). It examines two fundamental questions: What counts as China, and who counts as Chinese? Tracing the idea of China across time, Professor Xu argues that Chinese identity has never been fixed but has been continuously shaped through interactions with neighboring societies, overseas communities, and internal debates within the Chinese-speaking world. By highlighting the transnational and historical construction of “Chineseness,” the talk invites us to rethink China not as a timeless civilization or a fixed political entity, but as an evolving historical process.

主讲嘉宾：杜春媚，香港岭南大学历史系历史系副教授、系主任（Prof. Du Chunmei, Associate Professor at and Head of the Department of History at Lingnan University, Hongkong）
演讲题目及简介：本讲座基于同名新书Everyday Occupation: American Soldiers and Chinese Civilians after World War II（剑桥⼤学出版社, 2025年, 官⽹开放获取），聚焦1945⾄1949年间驻华美军与中国平⺠之间的交往与碰撞。研究以“⽇常⽣活”为棱镜，综合运⽤中美官⽅档案、⺠间⽂献与个⼈回忆，探讨交通事故、性关系、⿊市交易与盗窃纠纷等看似微不⾜道的事
件，如何将抽象的“主权”与“帝国主义”论述转化为具体可感的社会经验。这些⽇常摩擦不仅牵动⺠间情绪，也进⼀步影响政权合法性与宏观政治。同时，在对抗与互利之间，⽇常接触亦促成⼀种⺠间“⾮正式外交”，进⽽塑造新的⾝份与跨国纽带。作者主张，战后的中美关系不仅由⾼层谈判所界定，更是在⽇常交往的过程中被形塑。此⼀微观政治的视⻆，为理解中美关系的历史拐点提供了细致⽽复杂的历史注脚。

Dear Colleague,
How can we meaningfully integrate AI into our teaching, beyond the concerns about cheating or the excitement of new tools? In this online workshop, three scholars will share concrete ways they use AI to enrich university-level teaching. They will discuss approaches such as using LLMs to build interactive learning environments, supporting personalized learning through tailored feedback and accessibility tools, and designing assignments that remain rigorous and engaging without fully banning AI. Please join us to explore thoughtful and hands-on ways of incorporating AI into your teaching practice!
Sincerely,
Dr. Yi Ren
