Abstract | This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. This article reviews the development of medical humanities pedagogies in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. We reflect on the
curricula formation and implementation regarding their interdisciplinary nature and point out the challenges educators face under the climate of current university practices. We first indicate that
the emergence of medical humanities in the three societies was enabled by various social forces across the Strait. It also depended on opportunities offered by the higher education reform. We then
provide a detailed experience of interdisciplinary team building at The University of Hong Kong, followed by a critical reflection on the challenges of medical humanities along the pursuit of
internationalisation among universities in three Chinese societies. We find that the clashing objectives under universities’ strategic planning framework could lead to changes in work environments and research practices, hampering the design and the delivery of the curricula. In the end, the idealised promise of the interdisciplinarity of such curricula could become fugacious. |
