The final-year students in Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Studies (BACS) marked a great achievement by presenting and sharing their capstone projects with the public in an innovative and interactive way in the Capstone Fair on 20 November 2024 (Wed).
During the fair, each student group had the opportunity to host their own booth, engaging with visitors and presenting their research findings to the public. The students’ projects delved into a diverse mix of topics, including Political Memes, ‘Goblin’ Memes, Sexual Crimes on Telegram, Boys’ Love and Girls’ Love TV Drama, HK People’s Consumption Behaviours, Fandom & Celebrity Scandals, Street Photography & Collective Identity, and Classroom Culture at Lingnan University. The students demonstrated their ability to integrate the academic knowledge and practical skills they acquired from their undergraduate study. They went beyond the classroom learning, demonstrating their capacity to think critically and their dedication to exploring diverse and impactful issues within our society.
In recognition of the students’ outstanding efforts and achievements, 4 awards were presented.
