Being Chiang Yee: Feeling difference and storytelling
No full textChiang Yee was a Chinese writer, poet and painter who lived in England during the 1930s and 1940s. In his writing and drawings, there are many observations on the attention that his Chinese appearance provoked, all enabling him to tell stories about both Chinese and English cultures. The autobiographical persona of Silent Traveller, created by Chiang Yee in his writing, steered clear of controversial remarks, although he had strong feelings about Chinese politics, racism, and how Chinese people were regarded in Britain and America. This chapter explores how emotions, whether difficult or joyous, do not fit smoothly into linear narratives, and make personal memory an unreliable witness to history. Historians also may have a personal and emotional interest in the subjects they study. Indeed, I cannot think about Chiang Yee without resonances of my own family history, and experiences of being or embodying something of the Chinese in Britain. In a new analysis of The Silent Traveller in London (1945) and The Silent Traveller in Oxford (1946), the chapter explores what happens if we deepen rather than deny the historian’s role as storyteller, and pay closer attention to the differences and overlaps between Chiang Yee the author and Chiang Yee the Silent Traveller. Embracing the fragmented, the personal, the emotional, and the miss-remembered reveals a series of moments that speak about a Chinese physical presence in Oxford and London. These bring us closer to what it felt like to be a Chinese man in England during the 1940s, between the stories that were silenced and the things that could be said

Connecting practice to research (and back to practice): making the leap from design practice to design research
No full textThis paper explores two questions: what skills and knowledge can be derived from research and brought back into design practice; and how can we better prepare designers to undertake research?
Its aim was to enable design practitioners wishing to pursue research to understand the process and anticipate the scope and level of work. Additionally, it addressed the questions of how design education can incorporate a research-based curriculum and how professional bodies can promote the value of research to practitioners?
A complementary paper was co-written and presented at the CONNECTED 07 conference, Sydney. It explores the process of undertaking a PhD within the framework of the UK design education system by examining it from a design and business perspective (Yee, J.S.R, Michlewski, K. and Bohemia, E. (2007) 'Interrogating the Academic Research Process in UK Design Education from Design and Business Perspectives', ConnectED 2007 – International Conference on Design Education, Sydney, (http://www.designdictator.com/publications/connected07.pdf). Yee’s research bridges the gap between contemporary design practice, the growth of professional knowledge and pedagogy, via empirical study and theoretical discourse. Yee is currently 2nd supervisor for a PhD, entitled; ‘The Development of a Framework to Understand Potential Relationships Between Services and Their Users’ and is contributing to the development of the Professional Practice Doctorate in Design in the CfDR
Student Expectations in the New Millennium
No full textHigher education has experienced vast changes as a result of global political and economic developments. Cultural and social changes in the last decade have also added to the continuing evolution of higher education. These changes inevitably lead to changing expectations of students entering higher education. An adequate understanding of student expectations is crucial in ensuring a good fit between higher educational institutions and their students. This study attempts to carry out a baseline descriptive-quantitative research on student expectations in the higher education of Hong Kong. Four scales have been developed to measure students’ attitude toward: 1. job-oriented curriculum design, 2. user-friendly course delivery method, 3. opportunities for lifelong learning, and 4. student consumerism. Students’ priority of what makes a good university, their reasons for going to university, and their self-perception of ability to cope with university life are also explored. The Student Expectations Questionnaire (developed by the author) was used to gather data from 857 first-year undergrads from nine institutions of higher education in Hong Kong. Analyses include, among others, gender, age, major of study as well as institution comparisons
