在描绘历史演进、科学进步和社会发展时,我们常常将卓越的成就归因于某些特定个体。然而,实际推动社会发展的,并不仅仅是某一位伟人的巨大贡献,而更多的是无数人微小但持续的“一点点”努力。

在时隔三载终于回归的 TEDxGuangzhou 大会上,我们将会以「微小的总和 Doing our bit」作为主题,期望深入探索这些微不足道的努力,向所有人展示创造改变并不一定要取得伟大的成就或做出巨大的牺牲。只需做好我们自身的那一点,甚至只是坚守“分内之事”,都能产生深远的影响。

章玉萍 Yuping Zhang

章玉萍关注中国数字鸿沟中的信息中下阶层(information have-less)及另类媒介,探索数字化时代边缘群体的困境与可能性。 她是香港中文大学传播学博士,现任广州大学新闻与传播学院副教授。多年来,她将研究重心放在被快速发展的数字化浪潮所忽略的人群:残障人士、流动人口、下岗工人及其他社会边缘群体。 个人经历让她对这一议题有了更深刻的思考:母亲罹患认知症的经历,使她重新审视数字鸿沟对不同人群生活的影响,并提出一个重要问题——在这条鸿沟日益扩大的今天,我们该如何应对? Yuping Zhang studies the information have-less groups and alternative media in China’s digital divide, shedding light on the struggles and potential of marginalized communities in the digital era. As a PhD graduate in Communication from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and now an Associate Professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Guangzhou University, her work over the years has focused on people overlooked in the rush of digital transformation: individuals with disabilities, migrant workers, laid-off employees, and other socially marginalized groups. Her personal journey has given her deeper insights into this issue. Her experience caring for her mother with cognitive impairment prompted her to rethink the digital divide’s impact on diverse populations and to raise a vital question: How should we address this growing divide in today’s world?
