- Title
Teaching Elsewhere: Anthropological Pedagogy, Racism and Indifference in a Hong Kong Classroom.
- Authors
Lilley, Rozanna
- Abstract
This essay is concerned with the political, historical and cultural contexts of teaching and learning in Hong Kong, focusing on my recent experiences of tertiary teaching there. Although an emphasis on rote learning driven by an exam oriented educational trajectory is now widely criticised, strong institutional and social forces still operate to produce a student body highly resistant to radicalising discourses. I argue that cultural indifference, chauvinism and racism pervade the classroom, posing particular challenges for anthropological pedagogy.
