A 1-Credit Research Method Course co-sponsored by the SII and the School of English Studies
活动介绍：Offered each year by visiting professors, the course is designed to enable advanced students who are at the research threshold to gain the competence they need in developing their research interests and questions into research topics. The course should help them to acquire fundamental knowledge of the logic of research across any specific disciplinary boundaries, and addresses students dealing with Intercultural Studies, English Studies, or other humanities. Since the identification of a research topic is a sensitive challenge that many students find especially difficult, the goal is the building of ability to pursue lines of inquiry.
The course is designed to offer an introduction to research with some fundamental consideration of method. Major topics will include introduction to research methods, exemplified in terms of grounded theory and cultural studies; theory of knowledge; the logic of scientific discovery, and the structure of scientific revolutions. Individual students’ questions and problems of understanding will form an especially important part of the course contents. At each stage, students will be encouraged to speak about their own pathway toward research and to share their experience as well as their problems. Members and auditors are expected to have read the required materials, at least cursorily, before the course sessions begin (available from the SISU Intercultural Institute).

Research Methodology Courses: Rationale and Sponsor
课程系列介绍：As a cooperating partner with the School of English Studies, School of Journalism and Communication, China Studies and other doctoral programs, the SISU Intercultural Institute (SII) is committed to developing research skills and methodological rigor among our faculty, PhD, and MA post-graduate students across the campus toward interdisciplinary collaboration. The SII was instituted in conjunction with hosting the first International Intercultural Research Methods Conference in China, September 23, 2006. Each year, through our national High-End Foreign Expert Group project or via exchange agreements with various overseas universities, we recruit experienced scholars to SISU to teach specific research skills toward the better design, development, analysis, and drafting of publishable papers or competitive research projects.
This 2017 spring semester we are pleased to be hosting three groups of scholars, each offering a 1-credit course in their specialty, (1) starting with textual based research, moving on to (2) the development of good research questions, lines of inquiry and design, and then (3) concluding with the three main quantitative methods and approaches used in intergroup communication studies. Whatever your research interests or focus, we hope that doctoral students and faculty members will find at least one of the approaches to research methods attractive, helpful, and developmental.

结合学校“多语种+”办学战略和区域国别研究对外语教学的要求，为进一步提升我校教师专业发展理论研究水平和语言教师的教学研究能力，帮助教师进一步挖掘自身优势，产出前沿理论成果，更好地“服务国家发展、服务人的全面成长、服务社会进步、服务中外人文交流”，教师发展中心将邀请我校“学者”高博士为大家带来教师发展与教学研究系列讲座。
在“一带一路”的国家战略带动下，高校需要成长一批优秀的非英语外语教师和科研人员，急需对非英语外语教学进行深入研究。在外语教学研究方面也因长期被英语教学研究占主导地位，容易产生理论和知识结构的偏向。为解决这一问题，需要非英语外语教学研究者能够产出优质的语言教学研究成果。然而，大学非英语外语教师的教学研究与英语教师的教学研究长期处于相对劣势，尤其在申请研究资助和学术成果发表方面。本场讲座，高博士将分享其近年与日语教师合作从事一项由住友基金会资助的研究项目的经历和思考，以此来鼓励非英语外语教师积极掌握国内外语言教学研究的热点题目，发挥非英语外语教学研究的优势，产出优秀的理论成果。

语言教师发展属于前端研究，然而，如何在这一课题上做出新意是教育研究者在项目申报、发表期刊文章时所面临的困扰。本场讲座，高博士将简述教师发展理论，对教师发展研究，尤其是语言类教师发展研究进行分析和归纳。此外，他还将逐一点评“教师的动机和信念”、“教师教育政策”、“教师发展方式”、“教师身份”、“教师的语言意识”、“教师自主性”、“社会变革中的教师”等具体的研究方向及课题，对当前的研究重点和今后可能的研究热点亦作出分析，与广大教师探讨交流如何在语言教师发展研究方面做出新意。

本次讲座主要围绕英国“脱欧”对欧洲安全的影响和意义展开，认为在脱欧之后，英国将继续在北约扮演主导角色，但其影响力将逐步下降。虽然美国前总统奥巴马政府不支持英国退出欧盟，但美国过去的政策事实上在某种程度上促使了英国脱欧的决定。在英国退出后，欧盟如今可进一步推广其“共同安全与防务政策”，但此举意在欧盟建立更加有效的安全与防务制度，而并增强其实际的安全防御能力。

#The IC PhD Forum Series#

This presentation engages with discourses of masculinity and personal philosophy for men on the subReddit page The Red Pill, which defines itself as a discussion forum of "sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men” (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/). The subReddit has often sparked discussions on misogyny and is contextualized by the growing popularity of alt-right and anti-feminist discourses online. The case study forms an opportunity to engage with a host of socio-political issues from a Digital Humanities perspective.

In our approach to understanding the discourses on the platform, which we call Digital Hermeneutics, we are inspired by the ontological hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, which understands the interpretive enterprise as a dialogue in which one oscillates between part and whole. Digital hermeneutics in our conceptualization describes a circular structure that vacillates between the big data (‘N=all’) perspective of the whole, and a close reading of the part, or the sample. We explore and discuss several possibilities to come to such a scaled, oscillating reading.

世界政治的变化和汉语在国际上的传播具有一定关系。国际行为主体的需求，直接影响到了汉语传播的范围和速度。和汉语教育在世界上的分布格局密切相关的因素主要有：国家力量、国家利益、意识形态、信息技术、汉字文化圈。

南宋【双胜子急】音乐，可考于陈元靓《事林广记》中记载的俗字谱《愿成双》，是一首曲牌音乐。南宋【双胜子急】音乐的传承关系，可细化为曲谱、句式、旋律、曲牌连接等传承主题，其在后世的曲谱传本、元散曲、明清戏曲，以及流传至今的西安古乐、昆曲等传统音乐中有迹可循。南宋【双胜子急】音乐传承关系的确立，不仅有助于活态音乐研究理念的树立，而且还有助于典籍校勘、观点评判、古乐复原等衡量标准的设立。

分析古典名著《西游记》中的文化原型及文化隐喻，探讨上世纪40年代至新世纪以来，五部重要的《西游记》改编电影的历史背景及其折射出的文化思潮变迁。

高校教师、尤其是青年教师、硕博士研究生，都面临着科研任务和指标的压力。然而，面对前人浩如烟海的学术研究成果，我们今人在从事学术研究时如何在前人的基础上有所拓展，有所创新，如何尽快找到适合自己特长的学术道路？这是摆在我们当今每个高校教师和研究生面前的一个非常严峻的任务。演讲者作为《中国比较文学》和《东方翻译》两本学术刊物的主编，作为国内译介学研究最早的倡导者和实践者，通过丰富、生动的译介学研究个案，结合学术创新的基本目标，具体展示学术研究中的创新之路。同时，也给有志于在学术期刊上发表论文的青年教师提供最直接的参考意见。
