ABOUT THE SERIES

This project is to hold a series of public lectures for local social workers and other helping professionals on a monthly basis, with the purpose of providing opportunities for them on continuing professional development, by inviting experts from different fields and backgrounds to share professional values, knowledge and skills in helping professions. This project is expected to become a signature event for FSS in promoting the communications between academia and practitioners.

• To broaden local social workers’ global horizons

• To facilitate social work professionalisation in Macao

• To equip helping professionals with cutting-edge knowledge and skills

• To provide a platform for helping professionals to share experiences and exchange ideas

ABOUT THE TALK

20:20-20:45 Discussion

20:45 Refreshments

ABOUT THE TALK

The speaker will depart from her contribution to this book to debate representations of women in Goa during Portuguese colonialism in the more relevant periodicals published in the colony. These representations challenge historically gendered structures and show how gender is intertwined with other forms of hierarchy. Moreover, categorizations and representations of women allow to identify a broader and systematic correlation between Goa and India, particularly Calcutta, the epicentre of British colonialism in India during the crucial periods of the British raj.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Rosa Maria Perez is a professor of the Department of Anthropology of ISCTE-IUL,  University of Lisbon Institute and since 2011 she was is a visiting and chair professor (Anthropology) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar (spring).

ABOUT THE TALK

Science communication needs to be able to translate complex science topics into a form that is easily understandable by the general public. This process raises awareness about the contribution of science to solve societal issues and is part of an educational framework that provides tools for informed decision-making. The development of a sustainable society should be seen as a continuous process of learning and change, involving a variety of actors that provide guidance and leadership in formal and non-formal learning contexts. The Lousal mining village comprises a Mining Museum, a Science Centre and an Underground Mining Gallery. In this presentation, we will emphasise the importance of science education and communication for the society using some results of this ongoing project.

Students and staff of the Institute of Science and Environment of the University of Saint Joseph  braved the midday scorching heat of the sun, on October 1st, to collect sand samples from one of the beaches in Coloane for quantification of microplastics.

Not only that, they also volunteered to do a mini coastal clean-up and gathered data on the types of litter found on the beach.

The activity is an important part of their Science modules but also enables them to make the connection about their personal consumption and the litter they see on the beach.

The final induction session, CEO – Campus Emerging Orientation, organised by the Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA) and coordinated by the Residential Hall Office, was held on 24 September 2019.

New students from Pre-University and Undergraduate programmes, some senior students, alumni, chaplians, counsellors and student affairs practitioners, conducted a sharing session to share their challenges after the first three weeks of class and gave some suggestions to USJ. After the sharing session, all new students cooperated to cook dinner in groups. A group of alumni shared their experience about their study and career development during the dinner. Some new students also experienced residential life by staying overnight at Resident Hall. It was an unforgettable experience!

The Orientation and Induction Weeks 2019 lasted for 4 consecutive weeks with the objective to ease the transition of new students into collegiate environments with an array of activities.

On September 25th, 2019, the Public and International Relations Office (PIRO) held a Welcome Dinner for the International Exchange Students (Fall Semester 2019/2020) at the Man Lei Cheong Seng Restaurant, located near the A-Ma Temple, a site briefly visited on the way to the restaurant.

In total, 24 exchange students from Brazil, Portugal, France, Italy and Indonesia participated, contributing to a fun gathering with the PIRO Director, Mrs Paula Mota, and three other members of the PIRO Team: Mr Brian Cheong, Ms Joana Costa and Ms Sandra Ng. There was also a happy coincidence: it was one of the exchange students' birthday! Thus, a cake was brought so we could all sing happy birthday and wish her well.

The Welcome Dinner was kindly sponsored by the Macao Foundation and is part of PIRO's "Macao Inside Out" events that aim promoting the local culture, traditions and typical food, supporting students' adjustment to Macao and China, while fostering the sharing of international exchange students' own local culture and traditions.

Lucky Strike and Menez Gwen hydrothermal fields are located in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), southwest of the Azores islands. In the areas surrounding the active sites, the alteration processes affecting basaltic rocks are prominent and form hydrothermal breccias by the circulation of low temperature hydrothermal fluids in diffuse vents. These breccias play an important role in the protection of subseafloor hydrothermal sulphide deposits by forming an impermeable cap due to the high content in siliceous material. Since the discovery and description of recent mineralized submarine hydrothermal deposits, comparison with ancient volcanic massive sulphide deposits is appropriate. Thus, the model for the formation of the Atlantic brecciated rocks can explain some of the processes taking place in the early phase of development of old deposits, where equivalent siliceous material is found in the hanging wall of the ore bodies.

ABOUT THE TALK

From October 28th, the University of Saint Joseph will hold an Internationalisation Week for its staff. As part of the initiative, a series of workshops, meetings and this public lecture will be held.

Internationalisation is a strategic priority for the vast majority of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide. However, it still means different things to different people. What should HEI’s administrators do when the different stakeholders lack a common understanding of internationalisation? How do they optimise investments if there is no common goal to be reached? Through the study of different successful internationalisation strategies and the analysis of the main rationales and tools for internationalisation, we developed a model to be used by managers to improve economic performance. This model, to be presented, is targeted at HEIs’ managers to assist decision-making processes.

On September 6th, 2019, the Public and International Relations Office (PIRO) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) held the International Orientation Session for all international and exchange students to assist in the adjustment and adaptation to life in USJ and Macao.

During the session, students had the opportunity to learn more about the offices which they will come into close contact with and need-to-know information about USJ and Macao was facilitated. Goodie bags were distributed to all with Macao maps and brochures, the International Exchange Student Guide with information relevant for all international students, a Checklist of 50 things they must do before leaving Macao, USJ souvenirs and more!

Several icebreaking games were organised throughout the session for students to get to know each other better and discuss their expectations for their time at USJ and Macao. The session ended with refreshments and a networking opportunity for all.

The event, kindly sponsored by the Macao Foundation, resulted of a collaboration between PIRO, the Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA), the Residential Hall Office (RHO) and the Student Association (USJSA).
