隨著科技日新月異，個人意見的表達變得更加容易方便。然而，近期台灣發生的數起關於族群、性別、少數群體的爭議與討論，突顯了在加強同理心和人文素養的迫切需求。建立一個能使來自不同背景的個體都感覺被包容和尊重的環境，是十分重要的。
我們非常榮幸邀請到哈佛大學Evelynn Hammonds院長，分享如何「建立公平包容的高等教育機構」。作為哈佛大學第一位擔任哈佛學院 (Harvard College) 院長的非裔女性，也是少數獲得哈佛大學文理學院 (Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences) 終身教職的黑人女性之一，她為美國的高等教育做出開創性的貢獻。
這是她本次訪台期間唯一一場公開演講，並將與政治大學的院長們對談。活動參與者也歡迎在Q&A時段進行提問與討論。
本場演講以英文進行，並將於活動結束時提供餐盒。

English introduction:
As technology continues to advance, expressing opinions seems to be more convenient and accessible. However, recent controversies and discussions on topics such as ethnicity, gender, and minorities highlight the urgent need to strengthen empathy and promote humanistic literacy in Taiwan. Creating an inclusive and respectful environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds feel comfortable is crucial.
We are delighted to invite Professor Evelynn Hammonds, a trailblazing academic who has made significant contributions to higher education, to share her insights on “Building Equity into Higher Education Institutions.” Professor Hammonds, as the first African American woman to serve as the Dean of Harvard College and one of the few black women to achieve tenure at Harvard University, brings a unique perspective to the conversation. This will be her only public lecture during her visit to Taiwan. Besides, she will engage in a dialogue with the deans of National Chengchi University. Participants of the lecture are encouraged to ask questions in the Q&A session.
The event will be conducted in English. Box lunch will be provided at the end of the event.
