The DLH Series is an interdisciplinary forum for eminent scholars to visit the Faculty and deliver a distinguished lecture at PolyU. The lectures showcased world-class innovative ideas in humanities, social science, science and technology, and served as catalysts for potential joint collaborations between the speaker’s group and FH members or among PolyU members.
