In this week's episode, we will be talking about World War II, when the Nazis wiped out the world of Jewish scholarship centred in ‘Yeshivot’ in Europe. But one academy survived intact. Professor Jay Winter from Yale University tells the story of how one Yeshiva escaped to China, keeping alive a way of life almost entirely extinguished elsewhere. Professor Winter was invited by the University of Hong Kong to give a talk entitled “Escaping the Holocaust: The Mir Yeshiva from Vilna to Shanghai and beyond''.

In this week's episode, we will talk about how museum websites use their affordances to engage the younger generations in different educational activities. Professor Marina Bondi from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy will present to us how special attention is paid to the pathways designed to guide visitors in their understanding and to textualizing processes favouring audience engagement and construction, with a view to the challenges and opportunities of digital communication. Professor Bondi was invited by the Digital Society Research Cluster of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the Department of English at the City University of Hong Kong to give a talk entitled “Museum discourse: Websites for Future Citizens”.
