The Department of Cultural Studies of Lingnan University hosts the academic symposium on South-South autonomy and solidarity.
Prof Xin Yao, Vice-President (Research and Innovation) and Tong Tin Sun Chair Professor of Machine Learning at Lingnan University, gives a welcome speech.
The “South‑South Autonomy and Solidarity — Academic Symposium Commemorating the 95th Anniversary of Samir Amin” was held from 1 to 4 September on the Tuen Mun campus of Lingnan University. Hosted by the Department of Cultural Studies, the event was co‑organised by the Cultures of Sustainability Programme of the Centre for Cultural Research and Development of Lingnan University, the Global University for Sustainability, the Asian Regional Exchange for New Alternatives, and the Green Ground Eco-Tech Centre (Beijing). The symposium commemorated the 95th anniversary of the birth of Samir Amin, the world-renowned thinker and a founding figure of dependency theory. Experts and scholars from academic institutions including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Southwest University, South China Normal University, and Southern University of Science and Technology gathered at Lingnan University. Grounded in Amin’s intellectual legacy, participants discussed development dilemmas facing the Global South, and new pathways for cooperation.
