EthnoGRAPHIC Engagements with Health and Masculinities: The Potential of Comics as Methodology
Shawn Forde, Assistant Professor, Curriculum and Pedagogy

My research is concerned with the ways that sport and physical activity have historically been, and continue to be, used for the purposes of health education, community development, and political mobilization. My approach to research has involved historical, ethnographic and arts-based methods. My current research, through a SSHRC IDG, is concerned with using comics to tell stories about health, physical education, and sport. Underpinning this work, is an interest in health narratives, masculinity and social change.

Spectatorship in Hong Kong Cinema
Helena Wu, Assistant Professor, Asian Studies

With my background in comparative literature, film studies and cultural studies, I am keen on developing cross-disciplinary approaches to textual and visual narratives, popular culture and creative practices. My primary area of research is Hong Kong, with a focus on cinema, literature and culture, while I am also interested in exploring cross-cultural dynamics and inter-Asian connections at large. My first monograph examined the relationship between cultural icons, thing and place. Currently, I conduct research on spectators and spectatorship, with a view to critically examining the changing interactions between cultural expression, memory, affect and identity.
