>During the first six months of 2004, the Kwan Fong Cultural Research and
>Development programme at Lingnan University has been commissioned by the
>Curriculum Development Institute of the Hong Kong Government's Education
>Bureau to offer a series of intensive training workshops for local school
>teachers on the subject of Integrated Humanities (IH).  Meanwhile, our
>project team took the opportunity to conduct a pilot study on the
>implementation of the new IH curriculum in a particular local school.  The
>workshop and the study provide us with first-hand data and nuanced
>perspectives for understanding the complex process involved in school
>educational practice in the general field of the humanities.  Together they
>bring out challenging questions for us as Cultural Studies scholars having
>to deal with emerging issues in public cultural planning and education.  In
>this paper, we shall attempt to re-think the critical functions of cultural
>research and its productive links to the shaping of public life in specific
>social contexts.  On the basis of our on-going case-study, we hope to
>examine the problems of local cultural policy in light of its implications
>for cultural research, and to discuss the relationships between critical
>pedagogy and cultural planning with reference to the broader institutional
>condition of cultural management and development.

>Stephen CHAN is Professor of Cultural Studies and Director of the Master of
>Cultural Studies degree at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Founder of the
>Hong Kong Cultural Studies Programme (1994-97) at The Chinese University of
>Hong Kong, Chan has published several volumes on Hong Kong culture and
>identity for the Hong Kong Cultural Studies book series brought out by
>Oxford UP Hong Kong (in Chinese). His current scholarly interests are split
>between the study of popular sensibility and local-global flows in Hong Kong
>action cinema, and the re-configuration of cultural studies as a
>community-oriented critical project through involvement in school
>educational reform.

>York at Binghamton in 1995. He is now teaching at the Cultural Studies
>Department of Lingnan University in Hong Kong. His main research interests
