Assoicate Professor Jing SONG is invited to be the speaker in PHBS Seminar Series
Topic: Family Business Online and Offline: Gender Inequalities and Regional Disparities in China
Speaker: Jing SONG
Date: 22 March 2023 (Wed)
Time: 2:00pm - 3:30pm
Venue: Room 335, PHBS Building / Zoom (Meeting ID: 7768633620)
Abstract:
The rise of online entrepreneurship may have undermined gender inequalities or reinforced existing social inequalities in family businesses in China. This study uses survey data to examine whether and how online and offline family businesses illustrate different patterns of regional disparities and gender inequalities at the regional level and at the individual level. At the regional level, the development of offline family businesses is positively associated with a higher sex ratio and a lower proportion of people with higher education levels. The male advantage is less salient in the distribution of online businesses, which is positively related to local people’s greater access to the Internet and technology. At the individual level, the male advantage persists in one’s chances to be involved in online or offline businesses, but the gender gap is reduced or reversed in certain situations, especially for online ventures. Online family businesses allow people to be less constrained by marital status, health status, and family care burden, which continue to contribute to gender differences in offline businesses. Despite the persisting urban advantage and western disadvantage regarding individuals’ chances to be involved in family businesses, the gender difference is not significant among urban residents and illustrates a female advantage among western respondents, possibly because of the location-specific opportunities and obstacles that help women to embrace market risks or push women to try out family businesses. This research is forthcoming at China Review.
Assoicate Professor Jing SONG is invited to be the speaker in Brown Bag Seminar
Topic: Empowered in Business or Penalised in Marriage: Experiences of Single Female Entrepreneurs in China
Speaker: Jing SONG
Date: 10 March 2023 (Fri)
Time: 12:30pm - 13:20pm
Venue: Room 763
Abstract:
Associate Professor Jing SONG has been invited to speak at the Brown Bag Seminar on March 10, 2023. The topic she will be discussing is "Empowered in Business or Penalised in Marriage: Experiences of Single Female Entrepreneurs in China."
This study sheds light on the challenges that single female entrepreneurs face when pursuing entrepreneurship in China, where it remains a non-traditional career for women. Our interviewees revealed that they were stigmatized for their choice of profession, and they responded differently by balancing their career aspirations against societal expectations of marriage and family formation, justifying their being single based on their entrepreneurial achievements, or using their economic capability to compensate for their deviance and fulfill other family roles.
This research highlights the importance of recognizing women's fluid and interactive agency in response to gendered penalties in non-traditional careers. With China's market-oriented reforms, persisting gender beliefs and the socialist legacy, the experiences of these women provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by women in entrepreneurship.

女人就是女人: 電影放映及映後座談
A Woman Is A Woman: Film Screening & Post-screening Discussion
本片根據真人真事改編，敘述兩位跨性別女性宋紫洳和趙凌風的故事。宋紫洳在變性後隱藏原本的性別身份，重新建立自己的一切，並組織家庭。一切看似美好，直至她的身份無意中被丈夫發現。男人晴天霹靂，無法接受她的過去，美好家庭就此毀於一旦。年輕的凌風自小已覺得自己和其他男生不同，不單是性格和舉止，思想也較女性化。保守宗教家庭的教育下，凌風對自己身份的疑惑一直未敢面對。但在情竇初開的年紀，凌風不禁開始思考自己的性別和自己嚮往的生活。本片由跨性別者黃欣琴擔任監製，希冀藉由這部影片，增加跨性別女性在社會的能見度，並洗脫她們長久以來的污名。
Two transwomen, one at puberty and the other at the midway of her life, both crave for integration and acceptance but experience tons and tons of difficulties. By interweaving the stories of two characters struggling to be themselves, the film helps the audience understand and empathize with transgender people and their quest for acceptance.

Four relationships in four stages in four seasons. Though many ties have been unwittingly severed, the cycle might once repeat itself again in a blink of a cellphone screen. Obsessed with romantic love, a young woman (Jennifer Yu) has repeatedly met and slept with different men through dating apps.

孫教授本次發言的主題為“彌補LGBTI群體共融的數據差距”（“Bridging the LGBTI Inclusion Data Gap”），解釋為何開展更好的LGBTI人群數據統計對共融發展至關重要”。
The World Bank (WBG), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) will collaborate on a virtual program of events from May 18 to 22, 2020 that will focus on research and data for “breaking the silence,” which is this year’s theme for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB) 2020 commemoration.

The AAWS is a forum for discussion and co-operation on new ideas in feminist education and research with a focus on Asia and to promote the dissemination of information on relevant community programs. The AAWS seeks to establish an institutional basis for feminist education and research on Asia, linking associations of women’s studies, research institutions, resource centers, as well as individual scholars and practitioners in the region, with the intent of addressing issues of common interest in Asia. The Congress is held once in three years and this year’s theme is “facing new challenges for feminisms in Asia: reiterations, renewals, and revisions.”
亞洲婦女研究協會(AAWS, 全稱: Asian Association of Women's Studies)是一個以亞洲為研究重點，討論女性主義教育並研究新思想的協會。AAWS力求為亞洲女性主義教育和研究奠定制度基礎，並將亞洲地區的婦女研究協會、研究機構、資源中心以及學者們聚集到一起，從而為他們提供更多的專業發展機會。AAWS會議每三年舉辦一次，本屆會議圍繞“Facing New Challenges for Feminisms in Asia: Reiterations, Renewals, and Revision”這一主題開展討論。
Professor SONG Jing was not only the moderator for two sub-forums, she also gave a speech on “A New Rice Bowl: Women's Entrepreneurship in Coastal China.” And professor ZHONG Sara Hua also gave a wonderful speech to the participants on the topic of “Procedural Justice and Gender Equality: Mechanisms and Practices against Sexual Harassment in Higher Education Institutions of Hong Kong.”
在此次會議上，宋婧老師不僅受邀以分論壇的主持者出席，並就”A New Rice Bowl: Women's Entrepreneurship in Coastal China"這一主題進行了演講。鐘華教授也受邀以“Procedural Justice and Gender Equality: Mechanisms and Practices against Sexual Harassment in Higher Education Institutions of Hong Kong”為題向與會者帶來了精彩的學術演講。

Research Findings concerning Children's Perception of Gender Nonconformity Published in Flagship Journal
A recent study, conducted by Gender Development Laboratory, The Chinses University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), has explored children’s perceptions of the gender nonconformity and how to reduce their bias.
The study, led by CUHK, shows that a simple prevention could help to change children’s prejudice against their peers who contradict the gender norms. The research findings have been published by Child Development, the Flagship journal of Society for Research in Child Development
Prof. WONG Wang, Assistant Professor of Gender Studies Programme and Department of Psychology (by Courtesy) and the director of Gender Development Laboratory, stated that “The research findings show that the gender nonconformity has formed in the early stages and increases when children are getting older, which is true at least in the age range covered by this research. However, a successful intervention would lead to a more tolerant and inclusive generation. ”
香港中文大學（中大）性別發展實驗室的研究人員聯同香港大學及加拿大多倫多大學密西加分校最近進行了一項研究，探討兒童對非常規性別行為的看法，以及如何減少有關偏見。這項由中大領導的研究結果顯示一個簡單的介入已足以改變兒童對不跟從性別規範朋輩的偏見。有關研究結果已於兒童發展研究學會（Society for Research in Child Development) 的旗艦期刊 Child Development 發表。
中大性別研究課程及心理學系(禮任)助理教授、性別發展實驗室主管黃泓教授表示：「研究結果顯示，對非常規性別行為的偏見於早期已形成，並隨着年齡而增加，至少於研究所涵蓋的年齡範圍。然而，透過成功的介入可塑造更寬容的新一代。」

Public Seminar: Healing the Land, Empowering ourselves: Pathways of Indigenous Women's Post-disaster Recovery after Typhoon Morakot
Date: 24 June 2019 (Mon)
Time: 14:30 - 15:30
Venue: Lecture Theatre 8, Yasumoto International Academic Park, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Speaker: Prof LIN Chin-ju, Graduate Institute of Gender Studies, Kaohsiung Medical University
Abstract: This research documents Indigenous Women’s Journey of Returning to the Homeland in Southern Taiwan after Typhoon Morakot. Literature shows that women are more vulnerable than men in disasters. However, they also demonstrate great strength in the recovery and rebuild processes. How did
indigenous women recover from the trauma caused by natural disasters? How did they gain strength to rebuild their homeland? Are there any tensions between indigenous men and women during the reconstruction period? How did they reconstruct their homeland given the interplay of gender and ethnicity in their daily lives? This action research is participatory observation in nature. I will work closely with the indigenous women, adopting community surveys as well as healing workshops to enhance the depth of the research. Finally, this research aims to provide a model for social workers, who wish to work with indigenous women.

Pedagogy Workshop
Teach for Change: Innovating Gender and Women's Studies
Organized by Gender Studies Programme, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Center for Gender and Women’s Studies, National Cheng Kung University
Introduction:
Since the 1960s, Gender and Women’s Studies as a cluster of courses or a well-defined programme has been gradually offered in colleges and universities. Its developments are encouraging while worrying. On the one hand, Gender and Women’s Studies have been more or less institutionalized as a unique field of studies with its own students and faculty. On the other hand, its role in social activism has become unclear and its passion for social transformation is sometimes lost in the daily routine of academics that are always juggling to keep themselves alive.
Against this backdrop, the workshop aims to take stock of how far Gender and Women’s Studies has been doing in terms of curricular design, breaking down disciplinary boundaries, and pedagogical innovations in Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, it will also reflect upon the fundamental questions of why and how Gender and Women’s Studies matters to social change, and in what ways it can be made culturally sensitive and emotionally resonant with students at undergraduate as well as postgraduate levels.
Topics to be explored:
- The impact of institutionalization of Gender and Women’s Studies
- Pedagogical innovations and curricular developments: eLearning such as blended course, flipped classroom and student-centre approach
- Ways of addressing the needs of students with diverse disciplinary backgrounds
Time:
9:30am - 6:00pm (8 June) &
9:30am - 1:00pm (9 June)
Venue:
Room 405 (8 June) and Room 401 (9 June), Esther Lee

China Women's Film Festival @ CUHK
5th March (Monday); 7pm - 9pm; Cheng Yu Tung Building, Lecture Theatre 7 (CYT LT7), CUHK
Screenings:
- Ambiguous
Director: Liu Ziyang China | 2017 | 19’ | Documentary
Chinese with English Subtitles
Synopsis:
Based on a true story, Ambiguous tells the story of a female student who has been molested by a professor. This film reveals an ambiguous “truth" and reflects the imbalance of public opinion about the current education system and media credibility.
- A Balloon for Allah
Director: Nefise Özkal Lorentzen Norway | 2014 | 58’ | Documentary
English with Chinese Subtitles
Premiere in Hong Kong
Synopsis:
When Norwegian-Turkish filmmaker Nefise was a child, she used to send balloon letters to Allah. Now she has decided to send a new balloon to challenge the role of women in the Muslim culture. Following her grandmother's “Sufi” path, she embarks on a quest to discover the essence of Islam. As she strolls through the maze of doors, it dawns on her that maybe Islam is not the only source of the problem – that there may be a link between the three Abrahamic religions and the oppression of women.
8th March (Thursday); 7pm - 9pm; Cheng Yu Tung Building, Lecture Theatre 8 (CYT LT8), CUHK
Screening:
Self Defense
Director: Susana Lira Brazil | 2017 | 78’ | Documentary
Portuguese with Chinese and English Subtitles
Premiere in Hong Kong
Award: Best Feature Film, Mujeres en Foco Film Festival (2017)
Synopsis:
Self-Defense tells the stories of three women, who were subjected to constant physical and psychological abuse by their partners. In a rarity, they defy the statistics by killing the men they once loved to survive. These women have to face justice, society and their own judgment.
