Transdisciplinary Academic Conference for Emerging Scholars TRACES 2025 Conference Proceeding
On 28 June 2025, the Transdisciplinary Academic Conference for Emerging Scholars (TRACES) 2025 was held at The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, where undergraduates keen on transdisciplinary research exchanged ideas and academic papers with like-minded peers. We would like to express our gratitude to every participant in our conference for their contribution. After a rigorous review process, we are pleased to publish a selected number of full manuscripts from our presenters to contribute to the culture of undergraduate academia, as well as the scholarly community in transdisciplinary research.
Great Queer Provocation
Queer cultures are vibrant components of the constantly transforming societies of the 21st century. This is both socially and anthropologically recognizable, as well as individually readable. Categories such as wealth, success, amusement, but also sexuality and beauty have undergone major changes within queer subcultures and have influenced the reality of life for the general public. The entanglements in heteronormative systems and capitalist orders are increasingly putting a queer point of view under pressure, so that the question seems justified: What makes someone or something queer? Martin Gössl reflects on the possibilities of queer recognition in different social contexts.
THE END OF WOKE
A SPECTATOR AND NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Doyle writes beautifully, trenchantly, near-irrefutably' Richard Dawkins 'Thought provoking and entertaining. Andrew Doyle's intellect dazzles' Jimmy Carr 'A lovely blend of righteous polemic and wishful thinking' Julie Burchill 'A magisterial read . . . divinely inspired writing and commentary from one of the most thoughtful intellectuals of our time' Michael Shermer 'The best work yet by the creator of genius parody Titania McGrath' The Critic 'Andrew Doyle's essential The End of Woke makes it clear: woke is down but it's far from over' Spiked 'A brilliant, timely, highly entertaining book' Allison Pearson, columnist for the Telegraph A revelatory investigation into the rise and fall of the 'woke' movement and how we can prevent it from happening again. It is no secret that we are in the midst of a cultural revolution. Activists in the 'woke' movement have claimed to be on the right side of history, and yet their approach has been intolerant, intemperate and, above all, illiberal. Having dominated the western world for the past fifteen years, there are clear signs the woke are now losing their power. The re-election of Donald Trump, the scaling back of DEI initiatives, and a growing awareness of the threats to women's sex-based rights has stirred a counter-revolution. But is this truly the end of woke? Or have the culture wars merely evolved? In The End of Woke, Doyle skilfully examines the mechanisms underlying the zealous extremes on both the left and the right. He shows that, in a desperate power struggle to re-assert liberal values, some leaders of the anti-woke movement have found themselves adopting a different kind of authoritarian approach - one which also promotes censorship and erodes our freedoms. Doyle argues that although authoritarianism is common to all political tribes, we must resist its pernicious influence wherever it emerges. After all, replacing one form of tyranny with another will not end the culture wars. But liberalism - true liberalism - might just see the end of woke for good.
