《香港歷史學堂系列》
第二堂：
狗隻權益與社會進步
陳家怡博士
何謂社會進步？物質生活改善經濟發展以外，社會是否進步，也可以從我們如何與動物共處去剖析。這一堂，陳家怡博士透過回顧香港社會在過去近百年對待狗隻的政策和態度上的演變，去反思何謂現代化與文明社會。

Lecture 2
Dogs’ Welfares and Social Progress
Dr Catherine S. Chan
What is social progress? Beyond improving the quality of material life and achieving economic development, we can also evaluate progress through our approach to coexistence with animals. In this lesson, Dr. Catherine Chan revisits the notions of modernization and a civilized society by examining how our attitudes toward dogs’ rights in Hong Kong have evolved over time.

繼去年推出《香港史. 記》訪問系列後，香港史研究中心再次製作《香港歷史學堂》網上教室系列。每月一堂，每堂三節，一連八堂，八位歷史學者為我們深入剖析八個香港歷史重要課題，內容涵蓋英資集團、國籍身份、航空事業、流行文化、越南船民、動物權益、毒品監管和土地發展等問題，務求令大家對香港歷史有進一步的認識。
Building on the success of our 2024 interview series Hong Kong Documented, the Hong Kong History Centre proudly presents a new online lecture series — the Hong Kong History Academy. This series features eight lectures, each comprising three sessions. In every lecture, a distinguished historian explores a significant theme in Hong Kong’s history, covering topics such as British firm, drug control, nationality, refugees, popular culture, land use, aviation, and animal rights. These monthly lectures aim to deepen our understanding of Hong Kong’s rich and complex past.
