About Us
Fellows in the Hong Kong Academy of the Humanities represent a cross-section of disciplines in the humanities and institutions of higher education in Hong Kong. They thus constitute a rich and varied body of expert knowledge in the humanities.
The Academy seeks to foster greater fellowship, cooperation and solidarity among humanities scholars working in as well as beyond Hong Kong. It aspires to promote greater public appreciation of the value and importance of the humanities in Hong Kong by making its collective learning available to the general community.
