Hector Rodriguez / Framing Diseases 01: Disease pictures 建構疾病 一：疾病的圖像
In response to the expanding discursive battles of COVID-19 at the centre of new global politics, Hector Rodriguez focuses on the disease research as a discursive practice, de-mystifying lay assumptions that scientific knowledge is absolute and objective. From “disease picture” to “world picture” lies a series legitimizing mechanisms that are beyond medicine. 回應 COVID-19 所的牽連的論述戰和全球政治，羅海德博士的「建構疾病」系列針對疾病醫理研究如何建基於特定的前提，打破了外行人以為科學知識絕對而客觀的一廂情願的看法。
Yuk HUI / 百年危機（下）One Hundred Years of Crisis (part 2)
Co-immunity is never going to realize as long as the logic of nationalism fueled by xenophobia reigns.
