通識沙龍 - GE Salon

通識沙龍旨在從跨學科、跨文化的進路探討人類共同關心的問題，藉此營造? These scholars delivered excellent speeches revolving around the theme, and provoked in-depth and extensive discussions.

通識沙龍旨在從跨學科、跨文化的進路探討人類共同關心的問題，藉此營造校園討論氛圍，鼓勵學生反思當代世界與人類存在的境況。2006年，通識沙龍以「戰爭與和平」為主題，邀得不同領域的學者、專家主講。講者從不同的視角出發，提供多元的觀點及立論，引起了深入而廣泛的討論。由於反應熱烈，通識教育研究中心（2011年改名為「鄭承峰通識教育研究中心」，簡稱研究中心）於2007年繼續舉辦以「戰爭與和平II」為主題的沙龍聚會。2008年，研究中心與香港歐洲學會聯合舉辦通識沙龍聚會，其主題為「政治與文化：歐洲的經驗」。自2009年起選定了「寫給當代的經典」作為通識沙龍的主題，以配合香港中文大學在2012年推出一年級學生必修的通識教育基礎課程「與自然對話」及「與人文對話」。講者透過多本人文學科與自然科學的經典，探討人類社會歷久彌新的議題。

The aim of GE Salon is to explore iss

ues of common human concern from a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, with a view to encouraging students to reflect upon questions relating to the contemporary world and to create an atmosphere for the holdings of intellectual discussions on campus. In 2006, the Research Centre for General Education (renamed as "Baldwin Cheng Research Centre for General Education in 2011) organised a series of GE Salons on "War and Peace", featuring scholars and experts from different fields. Due to the overwhelming response, a second series of talks, "War and Peace II", was held in 2007 to continue discussions on the topic. In 2008, the Research Centre for General Education and Office of University General Education co-organized the GE Salon with Hong Kong Association of European Studies, and the series was titled "Politics and Culture: The European Experience". "Classics for Today" was the main theme of the GE Salons since 2009, speakers in this series explored the perennial questions in human societies and reflected upon modern life and social conditions through a number of classics in humanities and natural science.

For CUHK students:
[Classics Talkathon 經典說不停] On the Origin of Species meets The Book of Genesis

Ready to dive into a lively chat about two iconic GE texts—Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and the Bible’s The Book of Genesis—with your CUHK peers?

Co-hosted by OUGE and ELTU, this workshop offers an intimate space (max 8 students) for relaxed English dialogue—no stuffy lectures, just free flow of your insights on these timeless texts. Topics are wide open: explore the potential biological and theological roots (and their inherent dilemmas) of Human and Animal Rights, ponder human-animal relationship, untangle tensions between revealed religions and modern science, or chase any thought that piques your intellectual curiosity. Two educators from OUGE and two from ELTU will guide the conversation gently (no lectures!) and offer subtle tips on English expression. For non-native speakers, it’s the perfect chance to grow confident in sharing classroom-inspired ideas—skills that will shine in tutorials and term papers.

Join us to share your voice, deepen your connection with these classics, and engage in thoughtful dialogue!

Details of the event are as follow:
Classics Talkathon: On the Origin of Species meets The Book of Genesis
Date: 27 March 2026 (Friday)
Time: 3:30-5:00pm
Venue: Room 701, Hui Yeung Shing Building

達爾文《物種起源》 Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species
講者：林吐金博士
主持：余曉欣博士
日期：27 / 2 / 2026（五）
時間：4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
地點：香港中文大學文物館一樓藝術體驗空間
粵語主講
簡介：
我們從何而來？我們又將到何處？關於這兩條大問題，除了宗教提供的解答，科學探索又為人類帶來了什麼啟示？
達爾文在1859年出版的《物種起源》中提出演化論，是為解釋物種由來的科學理論。由於演化論直接衝擊了神創論的看法，此書被視為上世紀最具爭議的著作之一。到底科學與宗教是否必然對立？在進入此辯論的戰場之前，唯有細讀達爾文《物種起源》的原文，我們才能更好地理解他的構想及理論的原始概念，並了解此理論與神創論的衝突。
是次讀書會將帶領觀眾回顧達爾文寫作《物種起源》的歷史背景，以及他在書中提出的論點和推理。你將會發現大眾對此理論存在很多誤解。就讓我們基於正確的理解思考「我們從何而來？」這大問題。

DNA：生命的秘密 DNA: The Secret of Life
講者：許韻馨博士
主持：余曉欣博士
日期：7 / 11 / 2025 （五）
時間：4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
地點：香港中文大學文物館羅桂祥閣利希慎廊
語言：粵語主講
簡介：
「那天稍後，在卡文迪什實驗室旁的鷹吧吃午餐時，向來愛說話的克里克忍不住告訴大家：『我們剛發現了生命的秘密！』」
1953年華生和克里克發現並提出了DNA的雙螺旋結構，二人因此獲得了1962年度的諾貝爾生理醫學獎。DNA儲存世代相傳的遺傳信息，掌握著生命本質的重要啟示。我們或許只記得二人就是「DNA之父」，但在遺傳學的探索過程中，還有哪些作出過貢獻而被遺忘的幕後功臣？
在華生的著作《DNA：生命的秘密》中，被揭示的「秘密」除了指遺傳密碼的結構和運作機制外，似乎也指DNA技術意想不到的用途—由基因改造食物，到了解遺傳疾病的機理、促成刑事調查的革命，至大幅修正了我們對於人類起源的看法。另一個「秘密」，更指從前無法想像DNA研究會衍生出的倫理和道德爭議。到底DNA這個密碼是怎樣影響著我們每一個人？
是次讀書會將帶領觀眾重回遺傳學發展史中的重要里程碑，由孟德爾的遺傳定律，到發現DNA結構，到人類基因圖譜的完成，探討科學發展帶給人類的影響和衝擊。

日期：17 / 10 / 2025 （五）
時間：下午4:00 - 6:00
地點：香港中文大學文物館羅桂祥閣利希慎廊
語言：粵語主講
簡介：
學者大致同意《馬可福音》的成書年份不早於公元70年，其時羅馬帝國混亂、社會動盪，作者如何因應時局寫作和解讀耶穌的事蹟，同時又如何回應當時基督徒所面對的迫害？是次讀書會會從《馬可福音》的社會政治背景分析作者的寫作方法和目的，並深入分析部分篇章。

General Education Foundation Programme: 2025-26 Student Activity Fund - Call for Application

Dear students,

Since 2012, the General Education (GE) Foundation Programme has been fully launched in CUHK. Gradually, UGFH and UGFN have become a common learning experience of the CUHK. In 2025-26, the GE Foundation Programme will continue to offer the Student Activity Fund (SAF) to encourage student-initiated activities related to the two foundation courses. Through these activities, we hope to promote classics reading by nourishing an enjoyable atmosphere of classics reading in various communities in and out of the campus, and to appreciate the impacts of classics on contemporary society.

The SAF fund accepts applications from both individuals and groups. We encourage diversified activities to promote classics reading, including exhibitions, reading groups, performance, APPs, websites and art designs, etc. Each project should be completed within one year, and could be supported up to HKD 30,000. The deadline for 2025-26 SAF fund application is 16 November 2025.

If you are interested, please refer to the following website for more details and application forms: https://www.oge.cuhk.edu.hk/extended-learning/student-activity-fund/

For enquiries, please contact us by email ([email protected]) or phone (3943 3730). We look forward to hearing from you.
