Vision
Sustainability is a key theme in the strategic plan of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our university aims to establish itself as the premier university embracing social responsibility for sustainable development.
As a pioneer of communication education in the Asia-Pacific region, our conference on Sustainability and Sustainable Media not only aligns with the university’s goals but also takes the lead to examine societal communication processes related to sustainability at a macro, meso, and micro level. This conference addresses the urgency of sustainable design of media and communication and shapes our sustainable future from media and communication perspectives.
Commitment
Anchored by sustainability, this conference explores the epistemological and ontological challenges that media transformations and digital technologies bring to global sustainable development. It has three main targets:
- To contribute to understanding how sustainability issues can be effectively communicated internally and externally through media in various cultural contexts.
- To generate theoretical and practical knowledge about digital technologies’ infrastructural and environmental implications.
- To reimagine what sustainable and impactful media designs could look like. This conference explores how to translate these international insights and discussions to the Greater China and East Asian contexts.
