近年來人工智能發展迅速，改變了大學內的教學與研究模式的同時，也帶來了諸多爭議，例如在研究中使用人工智能的倫理問題、在教學中使用人工智能為學生帶來了便利還是削弱其思考能力等等。本集邀請了人類學系的副教授 Leilah Vevaina分享她的教學、研究經驗及想法，深入探討人工智能在不同場景及學科中的使用，對人類學的影響及挑戰。我們也討論人類學為我們帶來什麼啟示，可以更好運用及改良人工智能，成就更理想、平等的未來。

主持：Misa、Ursula
（本集以英語進行）

In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has transformed the way of teaching and research within universities, while also sparking numerous controversies. These include ethical issues surrounding the use of AI in research, and whether using AI in teaching provides convenience for students or undermines their critical thinking abilities. In this episode, we invited Prof. Leilah Vevaina from the Department of Anthropology to share her experiences and insights in teaching and research. We delved into the use of AI across different contexts and disciplines, its impact on and challenges for anthropology, and explored what anthropology can teach us about better utilizing and improving AI to create a more ideal and equitable future.

本季節目的最後一集，正在準備升學的主持抱著在大學數年遇到的各種觀察與困惑，和嘉賓乘著越發熱烈的討論氣氛，開始交換在教／學路上的想法。如何平衡研究生／助教的工作負擔？助教之間如何互助，又如何為教／學議題進行討論？如何處理與指導老師既是同事又是師生的關係，以及與學生劃分界線？本集節目繼續由人類學系助教Amy分享她作為研究生的另一面，解答主持人的各種疑難。

（本集以廣東話進行。）

In the final episode of this season, the host—preparing for further studies—brings up various observations and questions encountered during their years at university. Together with the guest, and spurred by an increasingly lively discussion, they begin to exchange ideas about teaching and learning. How can postgraduate students balance their workload? How is the relationship between TAs? How do they navigate relationships with supervisors, who are both their colleagues and teachers, and where do they draw boundaries with students? This episode once again features Amy, a teaching assistant from the Department of Anthropology, who shares another side of her experience as a postgraduate student and responds to the host’s many questions.

(This episode is conducted in Cantonese.)

系列介紹：你講我講人類學講，歡迎收聽「人類學咁講」，我是Linus。人類學家在研究的過程中，會花費大量時間和報導人聊天，參與他們的日常，建立比研究者/研究對象更深遠的關係。「對話」往往讓我們學到更多。在這一個podcast系列中，我會和不同對象輕鬆對談，展示更多人類學人的想法和故事。於我而言，人類學是有趣而充滿情感的學科，我希望可以把這些感覺呈現出來，也希望你會喜歡：）

About the Series: Hi, anthro speaking. Welcome everyone to “Anthropology Says”, I am Linus, host of this podcast series. Anthropologists spend a lot of time chatting with our interlocutors, participating in their routines, and building a relationship deeper than a typical interviewer-interviewee one. “Chatting” in this sense can teach us things beyond our expectation. Through interactions in a casual setting, thisseries will focus on the less theoretical side of the anthropology life and showcase the ideas and stories of those of us in anthropology. To me, anthropology is full of sentiments and fun, which I hope to share in these episodes. Thank you for listening :)

繼上集簡單介紹了人類學系助教Amy作為 TA的工作，我們繼續深入討論TA工作中遇到的情況。TA如何處理在教學中遇到的衝突？如何找到自己主持導修課以及和同學交流的風格？TA工作裡面有哪些趣事、煩惱和反思？

（本集以廣東話進行。）

Following the previous episode where Amy shared her journey into becoming a TA, we dive deeper into the situations a TA might face. How does a TA handle conflicts between students and themselves? How do they develop their own style of leading tutorials and interacting with students? What hilarious and tricky incidents would they face in their work? In this episode, Amy, teaching assistant from the Department of Anthropology continues to share funny encounters, dilemmas, and reflections from her work.

(This episode is conducted in Cantonese.)

00’14 如何處理對立意見 How to handle opposing views fairly

來到本季最後一位受訪者，我們把焦點放在課堂上可見但又不熟悉的群體 ——教學助理（TA）。相信同學們都會不時與TA聯絡（可能是交功課、請假），但又缺乏機會進一步聊天。誰可以做助教？除了開燈設定電腦、回覆同學電郵之外，助教的工作包括什麼？如何適應不同老師的教學方式，相輔相成？最難改的功課是什麼？本集節目邀請到在人類學系修讀哲學碩士的Amy分享她從美術系本科生踏入人類學擔任助教的種種。

（本集以廣東話進行。）

Arriving at the final interviewee of this season, we turn our focus to a group that is visible in the classroom yet unfamiliar to many – teaching assistants (TA). Students likely have interacted with TAs from time to time (maybe for submitting assignments or requesting leave), but there is rarely a chance to really get to know them. Who can become a TA? Beyond tasks like turning on the lights, setting up the computer, and replying to emails, what else does a TA do? What is it like to adapt to various teaching methods of different professors, and to create diverse learning experience?  How hard is it to grade papers? In this episode, we are lucky to have Amy, one of our TAs who just finished her MPhil in the Department, to share her experiences moving from an undergraduate in Fine Arts to becoming a TA in Anthropology.

近年人工智能發展迅速，對人類的生活及未來的想像產生重大影響。人工智能的應用在科學研究領域愈加普及，這將如何影響科學發展的方向，又會怎樣改變我們對自身的定義？這一集我們邀請了本系兼任助理教授譚萬基教授從人類學角度看人工智能、生物科技與自然生態的關係，以及他對香港科學家研究腸道微生物的研究，探討人類、科技與環境的複雜關係。本集內容會集中討論他參與的民族誌研究計劃 HealthXCross，探討和比較不同地方的科學家如何分析微生物，嘗試將微生物視作為一種連繫人與環境的物質實體。

主持：Misa, Ursula
（本集以廣東話進行）

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has developed rapidly, profoundly influencing human life and our imagination of the future. The application of AI in scientific research is becoming increasingly widespread. How will this shape the direction of scientific development, and how might it change our understanding of ourselves? In this episode, we invite Dr. TAM Man Kei, Adjunct Assistant Professor from our department to explore the relationship between AI, biotechnologies, and natural ecology from an anthropological perspective. He will also share his views on Hong Kong scientists’ research on the gut microbiome, examining the complexities among humans, technology, and the environment. This episode will focus on his participation in the ethnographic research project “HealthXCross,” which investigates and compares how scientists in different regions analyze microbes and attempts to conceptualize microbes as material entities that link humans and their environment.

你可以在人類學的課上遇見不同的學生：本科生、研究生、副修生、偶爾還有來自各個其他學系的學生，為大家帶來不同的觀點。或許是為了滿足大學通識的要求，也可能是對特定議題乃至於人類學本身的興趣，他們的參與讓人類學的課堂更多元也更具啓發性。他們為甚麼會認識人類學？他們會如何評價中大人類學的課堂？人類學的知識又如何和自己的興趣和專業串聯？本集節目邀請到教育系學生Timothy，分享他踏進人類學的那些時刻。

（本集以廣東話進行。）

In anthropology classes, you may encounter different groups of students: undergraduates, postgraduates, minors, and occasionally students from other departments who bring newperspectives to the discussions. Seeking to fulfill the General Education requirements or exploring specific topics and anthropology itself, non-major students’ participation makes the classes more diverse and inspiring. How and why did they come to know anthropology? How would they evaluate the anthropology courses at CUHK? How does anthropological knowledge connect with their interests and professional fields? This episode features Timothy, a student from the Faculty of Education, who will share his moments of stepping into anthropology.

如果，有兩份工作：一份人工高、福利好，但工作內容毫無意義；另一份工作所做的事情富有意義，但待遇較差。你會如何選擇？這並不是完全虛構的情境，在人類學關於工作文化的研究之中也有類似的例子。在本集節目中，我們會討論David Graeber對狗屁工作（bullshit job）的研究，以及Maura Finkelstein對馬術治療農場的員工之研究，亦會嘗試分析，爲什麽工作有時會令人感到如此辛苦、沮喪？

主持：Misa、Ursula（本集以廣東話進行）

If there were two job offers: one with high pay and great benefits, but the work itself is meaningless; the other involves meaningful work, but the compensation is poor. How would you choose? This isn't a purely fictional scenario; similar examples exist in anthropological studies of work culture. In this episode, we'll discuss David Graeber's research on bullshit jobs and Maura Finkelstein's study of employees at an equine therapy farm, and also try to explore just why people may sometimes find work so frustrating.

Hosts: Misa, Ursula (This episode is conducted in Cantonese.)
