香港大學每週活動推介（4月29日至5月7日）

「百周年傑出學人講座」系列六：諾貝爾經濟學獎得主艾莉諾‧奧斯特羅姆教授 ─「環境保護與環保政治的反思」
諾貝爾經濟學獎得主艾莉諾‧奧斯特羅姆教授(Professor Elinor Ostrom)將親臨港大，以「環境保護與環保政治的反思」為題，主講第六場「百周年傑出人講座」。奧斯特羅姆教授致力研究公共資源的經濟治理。她的研究發現，公共產業像池塘、森林等若由使用者自理，其效果比由政府或其他私人機構規管更佳。她於2009年獲頒發諾貝爾經濟學獎，為首位女士獲此榮譽。

於是次講座中，奧斯特羅姆教授將討論環境保護問題。越來越多研究顯示，市民大衆於環保問題上其實並非無能為力，新的集體行動理論(collective action theory)指出，多元治理(polycentric governance)模式，由近鄰、社區、國家以至國際之間合作，比單靠政府更能有效處理環保問題。

講座邀得港大嘉道理研究所主任姚思教授、香港大學校長資深顧問(可持續發展)廖秀冬博士及思匯政策研究所行政總監陸恭蕙女士擔任嘉賓；由香港大學黃乾亨黃英豪基金教授(政治經濟學)及經濟學講座教授王于漸主持。

Hong Kong Women's NGO Forum: Working with CEDAW
HKSAR Government is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). As part of its compliance, it will be submitting, together with the Mainland Chinese government, a Hong Kong report to the UN CEDAW committee in due course. This occasion is an opportunity to bring together frontline NGOs and researchers to HKU which has encouraged for some time, a policy for knowledge exchange and community outreach. The discussions, planned along themed panels, will involve local activists and researchers deliberating on current issues. It is hoped that such an engagement will stimulate the writing of alternative reports in Hong Kong in order to improve the lives of many women who still face discrimination.

The forum is jointly organized by the Women's Studies Research Centre (WSRC), the Emerging Strategic Research Theme (ESRT) on Diversity Studies, HKU Centre for Comparative and Public Law (CCPL), and the Hong Kong Federation of Women's Centres (HKFWC).

Date: May 7, 2011 (Sat)
Time: 9:00 am - 6:15 pm
Venue: Council Chamber, 8/F, Meng Wah Complex, HKU

Registration required, please email diversity.hku@gmail.com to reserve a place.
