We emphasize application of best pedagogical practices in undergraduate teaching, multi-disciplinary postgraduate training and placement, student engagement in innovation and leadership, and faculty research in broad disciplines on China, the region, and the world. Technology has profoundly shaped how we live and work, and the disciplines within SHSS are well positioned to address related key issues including ethics and AI governance, emotion in arts and literature, inter-cultural communication, aging and the brain, lifespan development, and the complex dynamics of human, society, politics, and technology. Spanning over 15 disciplines, our researchers and staff bring expertise across all these areas.
