Dr Shi Huiwen　時惠文博士

Editor-in-Chief　總編輯

Wen’s research interests lie in contemporary poetics, life writing, service learning, and English language pedagogy.  She teaches courses such as “Introduction to Literature in English”, “Fiction and Life”, “English for Academic Studies”, and “Creative Writing”. Her service-learning course, “Storytelling for Understanding: Refugee Children in Hong Kong”, uses personal narratives as an instrument to enhance English language communication, cultural understanding, and community service. Her teaching fuses both the practical side of language learning and the critical/creative edge. Ultimately, she wishes to cultivate students to be empathetic humanists who have a global mindset. An ardent lover of language and literature, Wen believes in the magic and power of words, and Language Collage manifests this belief.

Dr Chen Shu, Hazel　陳抒博士

Bilingual Editor　中英文編輯

Hazel’s research lies in the intersection of Chinese literary and media studies. She investigates how sound media like radio, as an invisible force and a sonic environment, shapes the dynamics of other forms of cultural production during the modern era. Her scholarly interests encompass sound studies, Sinophone literature and culture, transnational cinema and visual culture. She is also an avid art critic, composing critiques for performing arts; her essays can be found in Dance Journal Hong Kong and publications of the International Association of Theatre Critics. She teaches courses including "Introduction to Modern Chinese Literature," "Chinese Film and Fiction," and "Film Art, Language, and Culture." Her teaching approach emphasizes both the aesthetic aspects of text and their interactions with cultural, historical, and technological contexts. Hazel aspires to enhance students' analytical, interpretative, and self-expression skills through literary and artistic cultivation in a bilingual setting. She believes this preparation is crucial to enable students to become global citizens with distinct cultural identities.
