Hong Hong, PhD, is a Project Assistant Professor in the Indigenous Bachelor Program of Health and Long-Term Care at National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan. He received his doctoral degree in Adult Education from National Kaohsiung Normal University and has extensive experience in Indigenous cultural research, community-based practice, and long-term care education. As a Bunun cultural practitioner and researcher, he has collaborated since 2016 with an elder cultural historian born during the Japanese colonial period, whose lifelong contributions to woodcarving and oral history have profoundly influenced contemporary Bunun cultural preservation. Through curating exhibitions of his artworks, publishing a picture book inspired by his creations, and authoring a monograph documenting his life history, Hong has explored how individual narratives embody collective memory and how material art practices facilitate intergenerational cultural transmission. His research focuses on Indigenous cultural transmission, cultural safety in long-term care, and the psychosocial well-being of older adults. In 2026, he will publish the book Introduction to Cultural Transmission: Theories, Functions, and Practical Strategies, which synthesizes a decade of participatory fieldwork and community revitalization practice.
