Taiwan Studies Pioneers, Dominic Meng-Hsuan Yang

From Nov., 2024:

Presented at the University of Washington: 

The recent publication of Studying Taiwan before Taiwan Studies: American Anthropologists in Cold War Taiwan (Institute of Taiwan History, Academia Sinica, 2024), co-edited by Dominic Meng-Hsuan Yang, Derek Sheridan, and Wen-liang Tseng, offers an oral history volume of a generation of anthropologists who pioneered Taiwan Studies.  This panel will be an open, group discussion of the volume. It will begin with a background of the project from co-editor Dominic Yang, followed by an open discussion to all participants.  We will ask that participants read parts of the volume before the workshop in preparation for this discussion.
