哲學碩士 / 哲學博士學位課程概述

I am studying towards my PhD at the Department of Social Work and Social Administration, where I found it an exceptionally good fit to pursue my research interests in ageing and health.

Currently, my research lies in the field of environmental gerontology. I am fascinated by the complex interplay between individual and environment in everyday life praxis. Through the lens of healthy ageing, I am seeking a deeper understanding of the meaning of age-friendly city by investigating how our physical and social environment can be shaped to promote health and well-being in old age.

I am interested in exploring how people experience embitterment in their suffering, how people can embrace life amid adversity, and transform suffering into resilience, wisdom, and growth. By researching on these shared, yet unique, human experiences of vulnerability and resilience, I wish to be a part of the collective effort in supporting and empowering people who suffer.

My experience with the department of SWSA at HKU has been fruitful and insightful. I am encouraged to pursue my passion and interest, and to ponder on how I could contribute to people and society. Comprehensive support, guidance and resources are provided for us to foster our growth, improve our capability, and actualize our potential.

In our department, students are inspired to continuously strive for research excellence, have deep compassion for people, and be motivated to translate research into social practices; and this is the kind of researcher I aspire to be!
