  ABOUT THE TALK This talk is about Zhang Baozai 張保仔, the most famous, or notorious, pirate of Macau and Hong Kong. Everyone seems to know some story or another about him and his exploits. For some he is a great hero; for others he is a great scoundrel. But for all that has been written and said about him, in fact, we know very little about Zhang Baozai. The speaker propose to examine how the pirate was culturally constructed as a hero, and perhaps also as a deity through examining examine legends and stories collected from Macau, Hong Kong, and the Pearl River Delta – as well as historic facts – about his life and deeds.   ABOUT THE SPEAKER Robert Antony安樂博, who earned his PhD at the University of Hawaii, is research professor in the Department of History at the University of Macau. His research focuses on the social, legal, and cultural history of South China in the early modern period. His publications include Like Froth Floating on the Sea (2003), Pirates in the Age of Sail (2008), and 《海上风云：南中国海的海盗及其不法活动》(2013). He is currently completing a book on Crime, State, and Community in Late Imperial South China, to be published in 2016 with Hong Kong University Press."

This exhibition includes Photography, Graphic Design, Animation, Video Production and Radio Production. The myriad of media formats presented in this event reflects the multidisciplinary approach followed in the Communication and Media Bachelor program, which was reinforced upon its inclusion in the Faculty of Creative Industries. According to USJ organizer and program coordinator, professor José Manuel Simões, “this exhibition demonstrates the technical and practical topics covered by the BCM program, ranging from audiovisual production to digital publishing techniques, reflecting upon the entire range of modern platforms. The main focus of our program is on how people use messages to generate meanings placing our students at the forefront of contemporary information society. Like we can observe at the exhibition, we prepare students with a solid foundation in learning, exploring existence, as well as the function of using different fields and gaining expertise in advanced tools. Our program is taught by Professors with excellent international reputation that will give the students the opportunity to develop their creative potential in an international and interdisciplinary environment. The students produce a variety of digital media artefacts and develop tools for reflection upon their professional creative identity. Above all this bachelor combines both supportive scholars, multicultural environment, an enduring sense of community, and a state-of-the-art ability development in order to build up a personal sense of academic identity which is life-long standing”. The exhibition is open until May 8 and can be visited everyday, except Sundays, from 9 am to 6 pm. Admission is free for all visitors. The venue – Galery Fra Angelico, Saint Paul School – located at Rampa dos Cavaleiros, n.12/14. Information – 28519364.

Several representatives also supported USJ’s suggestion that such a policy should go beyond sexual harassment and address all types of discrimination and harassment in the light of the Basic Law principle of equality and international standards.   " ["post_title"]=> string(92) "MACAU DAILY REPORT: HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AGREE TO ESTABLISH GENDER EQUALITY SYSTEMS" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(90) "macau-daily-report-higher-education-institutions-agree-establish-gender-equality-systems-2" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2015-03-26 18:04:54" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2015-03-26 10:04:54" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(49) "http://www.usj.edu.mo/?post_type=news&p=5694" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(4) "news" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [13]=> object(WP_Post)#3775 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(5688) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "1" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2015-03-24 12:40:45" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2015-03-24 04:40:45" ["post_content"]=> string(2553) " " ["post_title"]=> string(61) "Meet The Artist | Joana Vasconcelos Workshop (March 16, 2015)" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(52) "meet-artist-joana-vasconcelos-workshop-march-16-2015" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2015-03-24 13:11:52" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2015-03-24 05:11:52" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(49) "http://www.usj.edu.mo/?post_type=news&p=5688" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(4) "news" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [14]=> object(WP_Post)#3774 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(5682) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "1" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2015-03-24 12:23:42" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2015-03-24 04:23:42" ["post_content"]=> string(1259) "Last Sunday, March 22, USJ Male Basketball Team played the dispute for the 4^th place at the 2015 GAES Basketball Competition. The competition started on 28 February and finally came to an end last weekend. The closing ceremony was full of fun, as the venue was filled with the strong spirit of teamwork. Our participants have developed a lot throughout the competition and training. Both the male and female teams were praised by the other teams for their vast development. The team did their best in the competition, but have lost against MUST with a score of 52:62. Nevertheless, they have learned and progressed a lot, and have won the 4th place. We would like to acknowledge the support and guidance from their coach Andrew Wong, the dancing club as cheering team, as well as the countless support from the USJ colleagues and students. The team will be participating in the upcoming ADUM Basketball Competition on April 11. Let’s wish them the best of luck!

Together with Ms. Xu were Deputy Director-General Pu Hailong, Director Hong Bo, and Deputy Directors Guo Jianbin and Wang Lujiao. Ms. Xu’s delegation was warmly welcomed by Rector Fr. Stilwell, Vice-Rector Maria Espadinha, Pro-Rector Vincent Yang, Administrator Susana Mieiro, Registrar Ricardo Rato, Director of Student Affairs Teresa Loong and Head of Public Relations Office Jenny Lao-Phillips. Rector Stilwell thanked the Liaison Office’s support to USJ and accompanied the guests to visit USJ’s teaching facilities at the Seminary. The Procurator of the Seminary, Fr. Jojo Peter Ancheril, introduced the Seminary, a heritage of hundreds of years of history, and its collection of cultural relics. As the first Western style institution of higher education in the Far East, St. Paul’s College was founded in the St. Paul’s Cathedral that was originally created in 1580. This was a milestone marking the beginning of the cultural and educational exchanges between China and the West. The Cathedral was destroyed by fire in 1595 and 1601. The Jesuits missionaries built the Saint Joseph’s Seminary after. Today, the Seminary stands as a rare Western-style ancient monument that has survived from all those years of difficulties in Macau.  Many valuable artifacts from the early history of the Catholics entering in China are kept here. According to Rector Stilwell, after Matteo Ricci came to Macau in 1582, he studied Chinese language and culture in the Saint Joseph Seminary before heading north into the mainland. Ricci eventually arrived in Beijing 18 years later, where he was well received and honored by the Ming Dynasty Emperor Wanli for his outstanding contribution to the exchanges of cultures and technologies between China and the West. The delegation of Xu Ting subsequently proceeded to visit the site of USJ’s new campus at Ilha Verde. The design of the new campus is a product of an internationally renowned architectural design firm which reflects the concept of green campus. The construction project is undertaken by Hsin Chong Group, a company that managed the projects to build Venetian Macao, Sands Macau Casino and the City of Sands. According to Rector Stilwell, the construction project is progressing well and the hope is to complete it within this year. Then, USJ, as a successor of 400 years of history and a university with international features, will have a brand-new look to contribute to the development of higher education and the nurturing of high quality talents for Macau."

ABOUT THE TALK This talk addresses two basic aspects of social cognition, cognitive appraisal of social information and social learning, using the zebrafish as a model of a social teleost fish. This approach will help to develop a neurobehavioral comparative framework to search for common elementary modules of social cognition within vertebrates, and it will also further support the use of zebrafish as a vertebrate model organism for translational research in social and affective neuroscience.
