In a bid to recruit doctoral applicants from around the globe, this four-part series showcases Literature and Language colleagues from Hong Kong Baptist University’s Department of English. Each salon pairs two professors, who, once they’ve individually highlighted their established and ongoing research ideas/projects, open the floor to general and specific questions about the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme, HKBU, PhD study at HKBU, HKBU Arts Faculty initiatives, and any other related issues. Apart from potential PhD applicants, all are welcome to join our salons, which are conducted online. Participating professors: Tammy Lai-Ming Ho, Ruth Y. Y. Hung, Magdalen Ki, Mingxing Li, Benedict Rowlett, Jason S Polley, John C. Wakefield, and Lian-Hee Wee.
