Heroes and Villains: Media Constructions of Minoritized Groups in Hong Kong's Season of Discontent
Hong Kong witnessed unprecedented protests from June 2019 to early 2020. Drawing on frame analysis, this study explores the discourse and ideologies related to minoritized groups using multiple media sources. The findings revealed that there were multiple constructions of minoritized groups and their engagement in the protests: Niche/pro-democracy and liberal media were inclined to make 'heroes' of their engagement while pro-China media seemed to…
Minoritised communities and Hong Kong’s ‘summer of uprising: Attitudes and Engagement Without Citizenship
Hong Kong experienced unprecedented political and social turmoil starting in June 2019. The original impetus was a proposed law that would have enabled the extradition of Hong Kong residents to Mainland China. The focus of previous work relating to the consequent social movement that opposed the law has been on the engagement of the dominant Chinese population. Little attention has been paid to the attitudes or experiences of Hong Kong’s minoriti…

What contributes to ethnic minorities’ identification with Hong Kong? The cases of South Asian and Filipino youth
The context of Hong Kong has not always been favourable for the integration of ethnic minorities, who face various difficulties in education, employment, and daily life. Research, however, has shown that many minorities, particularly the youth, have developed a fair sense of belonging to the city. To explore this puzzle, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 South Asian and Filipino youth and identified four main factors that ma…
Routledge International Handbook of Schools and Schooling in Asia
Gifted education has the mission of providing a favorable learning environment and opportunities for the developmental trajectory of gifted students in quality education.

They examine current gaps and the potential for future development of gifted education by analyzing formal…
Hong Kong adolescents’ future civic engagement: Do protest activities count
Protest is a common, if somewhat contested, form of political engagement. Little is known, however, about the decision to participate in illegal protest as a form of civic engagement. Using data from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2009 (ICCS 2009) (Schulz et al. 2010), the current study explored Hong Kong adolescents’ intentions to engage in protest activities. Mixture Rasch modelling was chosen for data analysis. Two lat…

Refugees and civic stratification: The “Asian rejection” hypothesis and its implications for protection claimants in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees yet, it has historically attracted refugees from Mainland China and, in the 1970s, from Vietnam. Today, there is a refugee flow from different parts of Southeast Asia. This paper highlights the plight of refugees in an environment where there are no legal frameworks for managing refugees, where there is a deliberate policy of not settling refugees, irrespective…

Constructions of civic education: Hong Kong teachers’ perceptions of moral, civic and national education
Various terms have been used to define civic education (CE) in Hong Kong since the colonial era. This has been particularly true since 2011, when CE has been given many names, causing confusion among educators. Mixed methods were employed to examine teachers’ perceptions of different conceptions of CE expressed as moral, civic and national education. The findings indicate that some teachers might not be able to differentiate among moral education…

Conceptualising quality improvement in higher education: Policy, theory and practice for outcomes based learning in Hong Kong
Policy borrowing' continues to be an important factor in the construction of higher education policy in East Asia. Many post-colonial societies have continued to look to the West for models that will assist them to reengineer their universities in the quest for creating world class institutions. Against this background, Hong Kong's University Grants Committee adopted an outcomes based approach to teaching and learning in 2005 and gained support f…
Adolescents' Attitudes to Law and Law-Related Issues; The Case of Hong Kong Students
Psychologists have often been interested in the way individuals respond to and interact with the law. Socio-legal scholars have had a similar interest. This led to a stream of research that sought to identify the ‘legal consciousnesses' of individuals as they experience legal ideas and situations. The study reported here sought to identify the ‘legal consciousnesses' of a sample of Hong Kong adolescents in a unique socio-political context. The fi…
Student Constructions of ‘Active Citizenship’: What Does Participation Mean to Students
‘Active citizenship’ is currently a popular term in citizenship education policy discourse. Despite this policy interest, there is no agreement about the meaning of ‘active citizenship’. This article draws on data from the IEA Civic Education Study to explore how students themselves construct ‘active citizenship’. The results show that students have quite sophisticated conceptions of citizenship responsibilities although their attitudes are gende…

Reconceptualizing efforts at national curriculum development
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s efforts were made in the USA, UK and Australia to harnass national resurces to improve the quality of the school curriculum. The various activities were initially well received but by the early 1980s political and economic constraints led to a withdrawal of support for major initiatives. In Australia, this situation was reviewed by the newly elected Labor government in 1983. The result was the reactivation of the na…
