Central to his research and teaching philosophy is the transformative potential of education in creating social change and fostering a more equitable society.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>                    <div  id=\"dr-karl-huang\" class=\"card card--image\" data-type=\"\" aria-label=\"dr-karl-huang\"><div class=\"card__top image-offset\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"card__image\"\n                                 src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-e1738738698673.jpg\"\n                                 alt=\"Dr Karl Huang\"\n                                 srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-740x370.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-1000x1080.jpg 463w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-e1738738698673.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-e1738738698673.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-480x240.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-1260x630.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Karl-Huang_4313-1-aspect-ratio-1-1-1323x760.jpg 1323w\"\n                                 sizes=\"(min-width: 2560px) 2560px, (min-width: 1920px) 1920px, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><div class=\"spotlight-label\">\n                        Presenter\n                    <\/div><div class=\"card__title\"><h2 class=\"h2\">Dr Karl Huang<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"inner\"><div class=\"card__subtitle\">\n                            Âé¶¹Ö±²¥\n                        <\/div><div class=\"card__content\"><p>Dr Karl Huang is the Director of the Centre for Culture and Technology (CCAT) and the Director for the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative (COKI).
