We had an incredible morning at Creative Mornings Hong Kong as we explored the fascinating topic of “Native” with our esteemed speaker, Gordon Mathews. As an Emeritus Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Mathews brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the discussion, captivating the audience with his insights into culture, identity, and globalization.

Throughout the session, Mathews shared his deep understanding of the concept of “native” and its multifaceted implications in today’s interconnected world. Drawing from his impressive body of work, which includes ten books exploring various aspects of culture, identity, and globalization, he shed light on the complex interplay between local and global forces that shape our understanding of what it means to be “native.”

The audience was captivated by Mathews’ thought-provoking ideas, leading to a vibrant discussion during the Q&A session. Attendees had the opportunity to delve deeper into the complexities of the native experience, exploring topics such as heritage preservation, cultural appropriation, and the role of technology in shaping native identities.
