One and All: A Conversation with Pang Laikwan

Decolonizing Common Law
A recent judgment of the Privy Council on a relatively minor incitement charge in Trinidad and Tobago surprisingly impacts a decisive seditious trial in Hong Kong - both places were former colonies of the British Crown and have adopted common law.

Retheorizing the Social
To understand the political meanings of Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement as a spontaneous movement beyond its immediate political achievements and as part of a larger global movement that used occupation as a tactic, this article explores related activities happening in social media and investigates how this social space is filled with both political messages and private emotions. By engaging with Hannah Arendt's differentiation among the public, th…
