好消息 －布里斯托大學將設立全球首個香港史研究中心！
布大的香港歷史研究計劃致力推動香港歷史研究，於過去七年，我們籌辦及支援了數個於香港、英國及加拿大舉辦的學術研討會，亦積極與國際學人交流；計劃同時贊助及支持了七位博士生及四位博士後研究員的研究工作。我們的成員及畢業生發表了多篇學術論文，也出版了兩本專著，而另有兩本專著及多項研究成果即將面世。他們分別在英國、香港等地就職，擔任博士後研究員、講師、及助理教授等職位。
未來數月，我們將埋首設立香港史研究中心。中心將會繼承香港歷史研究計劃的使命，同時開展新項目，致力與國際學人及機構攜手合作，為香港史研究帶來更多的貢獻。中心的首屆博士生已開展了他們的研究，我們亦開始了中心數個新職位的招聘工作，以支援中心的新發展。
若想緊貼中心最新動態，請留意我們的社交媒體 － 我們將會在此網頁、Facebook 及Twitter發佈更多新消息！
Coming soon …
Across the next few months we are working on the formal establishment of the world’s first Hong Kong History Centre, here at the University of Bristol. Building on the seven years of activity under our Hong Kong History Project umbrella, which has seen us support conferences and workshops in Britain, Hong Kong, and Canada, network with colleagues internationally, and sponsor and support seven PhD students and four postdoctoral research fellows. We have incubated (so far) two books, numerous articles and book chapters, with two more books in press, and more great work on its way, with alumni of the project having moved on to postdoc fellowships and positions in Britain and in Hong Kong.
We will be steadily intensifying and broadening this range of activity. Our first new doctoral students have begun their studies, and we are beginning to appoint to the diverse range of positions that will form the Centre team, and its expanded range of activities.
Watch this space.
