澳大新語 • 2021 UMAGAZINE 24 57 學術研究 • ACADEMIC RESEARCH place, appropriately enough, on Halloween – 31 October 2020 – and was chaired by Katarzyna Ancuta of Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. Prof de Chavez was joined by Marie Rose B Arong at the University of the Philippines, Cebu, Genevieve L Asenjo and Shirley O Lua at De La Salle University, Manila, Edgar Calabia Samar and Louie Jon A Sanchez at Ateneo de Manila University, and Thomas Leonard Shaw at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Their presentations again attracted a sizeable international audience. Prof de Chazez is currently editing an essay collection on the topic, and is at the forefront of scholarship addressing Gothic in the Philippines. The fourth event organised by UMGothic differed from its predecessors in that it was specifically orientated towards emerging scholarship. Titled ‘The Future of Gothic’, it took place online on 26 February 2021, and was chaired by FAH professor Tan See Kam. Following a keynote address by Prof Dale Townshend at Manchester Metropolitan University, an international audience received presentations from a cohort of current PhD students, recent doctoral graduates, and early career researchers. UM was represented by Chen Fei, a doctoral candidate whose research embraces both Gothic and science fiction, and the other participants were Henry Bartholomew at the University of Exeter, Ali Cargill at the University of Hull, Maartje Weenink at Manchester Metropolitan University, Daisy Butcher at the University of Hertfordshire, Emily Vincent at the University of Birmingham, Janette Leaf at Birkbeck, University of London, Sarah Neef at TU Dortmund University, Oliver Robertson-Sivyer at Bath Spa University, and Lauren Nixon at the University of Sheffield. The fifth UMGothic event took place on 3 July 2021. This event, ‘ / Incarceration / Lockdown / ’ drew together scholars and researchers from the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia working in a variety of fields to discuss the implications of lockdowns caused by the pandemic. UM was represented by FAH professor Damian Shaw, and the symposium was chaired by Prof Tom Duggett at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, with speakers drawn from: in the UK, the University of Exeter and the Open University; in Asia, the University of Hong Kong and Monash University Malaysia; in Europe, the University of Marburg and Aarhus University; and in the US, Northeastern University. Details of future events will be published in Morning Express: UM Today, and updates will be available via the @UMGothic twitter feed and on the UMGothic Facebook page. In the immediate future, plans are in place for a symposium on the transnational presence of Bram Stoker, and for a roundtable on academic publishing, specifically aimed at supporting early career researchers. UMGothic welcomes conference and symposium proposals from colleagues working in any discipline within the university, and can offer advice and assistance in organising and publicising events as well as proposing works for publication. We are particularly keen on developing new research directions that consider the place of Gothic in the culture of Macao specifically, and in the literature, cinema, and arts of the Greater Bay Area more generally.
