The Digital Narratives Studio (DNS) at the School of Journalism and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, presents the Annotation Exchange (AnnEx) series, that puts authors, texts, and readers in a productive dialogue.
Participants are invited to read newly published inspiring texts (academic, journalistic, artistic etc) or even unpublished drafts of leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of Narrative Change.
Following our successful inaugural events earlier this year, we are incredibly excited to relaunch our series with several of our knowledge partners, that have helped shaping meaningful research briefs for our MA in Global Communication students. In the coming events, we will particularly focus on questions of social impact and the future of coming together.
For our next session on 29 October, we are incredibly excited to welcome Phoebe Tang, an expert in stakeholder collaboration with a decade of service in the legislature and administration, as well as Preston Cheung, a Hong Kong-based public policy specialist with extensive experience in government liaison. They will be present at the C-Centre at CUHK to engage in a dialogue with the readers/participants in small, collaborative groups, but the event will also be offered as hybrid mode for remote participants.
