College Research Centres
College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS)
Director: Professor Luke Kang Kwong
The Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) is
the key research hub for the College of Humanities, Arts, and
Social Sciences. It was created in 2006, at the time under the
School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and was
established as a College level centre in April 2010. Its aim is
to promote research, including inter-disciplinary research,
among the Schools in the College. CLASS also provides a
platform for interaction among local and international scholars
from various disciplines.
The activities supported by CLASS include talks, seminars,
workshops, symposiums, conferences and hosting visiting
scholars and distinguished lecturers. CLASS events seek
different levels of discourse – from academic research to
public education – and involve eminent scholars, researchers,
policy makers, as well as members of the public.
CLASS hosted a number of workshops, symposiums and
conferences during 2010, including the
AVSA Conference:
Re-Orienting Victorian Studies, Making Decisions –
Singapore Multidisciplinary Decision Science Symposium,
Global Movement of Ideas, People and Resources: Towards
Robust and Sustainable Growth Workshop, the Social
Aspects of a Changing Population Symposium and The Art of
Discourse (Lun) in Early Medieval Chinese Literature and
Philosophy Conference. In January 2011, CLASS also hosted
the Christianity in Contemporary China: Socio-cultural
Perspectives Conference. Several high profile events and
conferences
are in the pipeline for 2011 and beyond.
