Singapore War Crimes Trials Workshop

Dr Cheah Wui Ling, a USP alum who previously taught at USP and also the co-founder of the Singapore War Crimes Trials Project, has reached out to offer USP students an opportunity to participate in the “Singapore War Crimes Trials Workshop”.

This three-week workshop is an online not-for-credit creative writing programme for USP students interested in the trials. The idea and planning for this workshop comes from research fellow, Lim Jia Yi, who is also a USP alum. Workshop participants will learn about the Singapore war crimes trials and its broader historical context/repercussions, via historical materials and literature/film. They would then produce fiction and non-fiction creative works in response, that may be featured on the Project’s web portal. There is no limit to the genre or type of work produced. The broad weekly themes for the workshop are:

1) the trials in Singapore;
2) the Singapore trials in the broader history of post-WWII war crimes trials of the Japanese; and
3) the regional context for the war crimes trials, and the trials’ modern implications.

Integrated Career Planning in VUCA World

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only disrupted the economy, but also reshaped the employment landscape and working life.  Therefore, it is important for students to adopt an integrated approach to career planning during their university days. This means that you need to take ownership and be intentional in planning student activities, that will support your career aspiration, upon graduation in a post-COVID world.

USP Career Services is organising this virtual workshop to guide you on how to adopt an integrated approach to career planning during your university days.

The Sessions – Interdisciplinary Education

Do major-based classifications really matter? What does the opening of the NUS College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS) signify for university pedagogy? How does interdisciplinarity manifest at the workplace? How interdisciplinary are we, really?

Join The Sessions for a thought-provoking discussion on these questions, and more, on the topic of Interdisciplinary Education. The team has invited four USP alumni from different batches across different industries, from technology to healthcare to business and public sectors, to discover new perspectives about interdisciplinary education and how it has manifested in their post-USP lives.

This session will be carried out in a new interactive format, both in-person and online via Zoom, to allow for greater engagement between participants and guest speakers.
