Facilitation as educational ethics
This article unpacks facilitation as an ethical practice within a Cooperative Inquiry (CI), through which communities engage with death as a shared concern within organisational and community life. It examines how CI contributes to public health approaches to palliative care beyond formal service settings. Adopting a reflection-on-action approach, the article presents a facilitator’s reflexive account of a CI conducted with 24 members of a Hong K…
(Re)framing Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy across borders
This study critiques prevailing models of vaccine hesitancy for individualising hesitancy and overlooking how socio-political histories shape health decisions across borders. Focusing on the Hongkonger diaspora in the UK, it examines how migration and political displacement reshape the meanings of COVID-19 vaccination. Using Goffman’s frame analysis, and the concepts of paternalistic fabrication, lamination, and reframing, the study reconceptuali…
From readiness to collaborative learning
Hong Kong faces population ageing and growing demand for community-based palliative care. The 2023 Advance Decision on Life-sustaining Treatment Bill marks a shift towards autonomy in death and dying, alongside emerging compassionate community initiatives. This article reports the first stage of a Cooperative Inquiry (CI) with the non-profit organisation Forget Thee Not (FTN), which has promoted community-based approaches to dying since 2013. Bet…
Social network dynamics and organizational collaboration
Social networks are pivotal in social service development. In this article, we consider the Hong Kong Federation of Women’s Centres (HKFWC) and its establishment of twelve Carer Cafés across Hong Kong since 2018. The HKFWC service team facilitated key inter-organizational collaborations for the project. We draw on qualitative data from participatory observation in five Carer Cafés, and individual interviews and focus groups with twenty-four stake…
Natural Ventilation Technique of uNVeF in Urban Residential Unit Through a Case Study
The present study was motivated by the need to enhance indoor air quality and reduce airborne disease transmission in dense urban environments where high-rise residential buildings face challenges in achieving effective natural ventilation. The problem lies in the lack of scalable and convenient tools to optimize natural ventilation rate, particularly in urban settings with varying building heights. To address this, the scientific technique devel…

The cafés took place once biweekly at pantries and activity rooms of social service centers, community centers, and churches, which installed temporary decorations to create a café-like environment. his article will use the conceptual framework of spatial context, including spatial …
Social relationships and community end of life care in Hong Kong
End-of-life (EOL) care is a crucial public health issue in Hong Kong, and one in which the community social service sector has become increasingly involved, as healthcare policy in the city shifts towards greater emphasis on social relationships in non-medical forms of EOL care. This study used abductive grounded theory methodology to illustrate the dynamics and mechanisms involved in social relationships between dying people (and their families)…
A Social Capital Perspective on Social-Medical Collaboration in Community End-of-Life Care in Hong Kong
Recent developments in Hong Kong end-of-life (EOL) care have shifted some caring work for dying people and their families to cross-disciplinary collaboration in community settings. Social-medical collaboration becomes especially important. This study aims to use social capital as an analytical lens to examine the processes and mechanisms of social-medical collaboration in EOL care and elucidate practice implications for engaging in the care of dy…
Cultivating mutuality
In Hong Kong, death and dying are identified as a crucial public health issue, and as the healthcare system has developed, there has been a shift of some care for dying people and their families to cross-disciplinary collaboration in community settings. This shift enhances the salience of social relationships in non-medical forms of community-based end-of-life (EOL) care. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to knowledge about relational de…
