- 14:08Navigating adolescence and adulthood in China | Jason Jeffries | TEDxUICAs an educator of secondary-age students for over ten years now, I have witnessed numerous young people grow and navigate their paths towards adulthood. Some achieve this in a relatively calm and straightforward manner while others are dragged kicking and screaming over every hurdle that comes up. Navigating this path towards university and adulthood in China poses a range of unique and ever-evolving challenges and raises a number of questions about how best to support young people in their development. My talk aims to explore these questions based on my own experiences and observations while working with those wonderful beings we call teenagers. Jason Jeffries is from the UK and has been teaching since 2012. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacology with Industrial Experience and a PGDE in Secondary Education from the University of Edinburgh. Since 2015, he has been teaching biology in Ningbo, China, and has also served as a university adviser for several years alongside his main teaching role. His hobbies include reading (both fiction and non-fiction), gardening, scuba diving, and travelling.

- 20:00Literary translation as a linguistic survival strategy | John Corbett | TEDxUICIn the globalised, technology-driven world, many ‘traditional’ aspects of society seem threatened; among them, minority languages, such those spoken by lowland Scots and the Nuosu of China, and the practice and study of literature and translation. Just as minority cultures are threatened by globalisation, enrolment in the Humanities is dropping and (so some pessimists claim), human interpreters and translators will soon be replaced by chatbots. This talk challenges these assumptions of inevitable decline by showing that literary translation is a fundamentally human activity, that, among other things, can support minority languages and sustain traditional cultures. Moreover, literary translation in and out of minority languages can sustain marginalised cultures, not in a static but in a dynamic fashion. This talk draws on examples of verse by the Chinese writer, Jidi Majia, whose poetry about the Yi Minority, and in particular the traditions of the Nuosu people, has been translated into over 40 languages, including Scots. This talk draws on translations into Scots to demonstrate how literary translation can be an effective strategy for linguistic and cultural survival. John Corbett was appointed Professor of English at Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU) in September 2020. He served as Programme Director of English Language and Literature Studies (ELLS) from May 2021 until June 2022, when he became Associate Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS). He has many years of experience of university teaching, research and administration in Scotland, Macau and Brazil, having formerly been a Professor at the Universities of Glasgow and Macau, and Visiting Professor at the University of Sao Paulo. He has wide teaching and research interests, with numerous publications in the areas of applied linguistics, translation studies, Scottish literature and the Scots language.

- 5:27What If Doing Nothing Is The Key To Everything | Purity Ugwu | TEDxJewels Leading Lights YouthThis talk, What If Doing Nothing Is The Key To Doing Everything, by Purity Ugwu, asks a bold, countercultural question: What if the key to success isn’t in the hustle... but in the stillness?In a world obsessed with productivity, where every moment is measured in tasks completed and goals achieved, Purity dares us to slow down. With captivating storytelling and powerful historical references—from Einstein’s daydreams to da Vinci’s ceiling stares—she reveals a truth we’ve long ignored: doing nothing might be the most creative, transformative act of all.Why do we fear silence? Why do we rush to fill every gap in our day with noise, distraction, and busyness? What if boredom is not the enemy but the birthplace of genius?In this thought-provoking TEDx talk, Purity explores the science behind the “default mode” of the brain, the forgotten beauty of Dolce far niente, and the radical idea that rest is not laziness—it’s fuel for greatness. Purity is a lively and personable 15-year-old Year 11 learner who thrives on vibrant interactions and meaningful connection. As the School Social Prefect for 2024/25, she brings creativity and warmth to every event she helps organise. Her competitive edge shines through in her multiple inter-house victories, including the cycling competition.
