<p><strong><em>Taiwan Studies: New Directions and Connections</em></strong> will focus on the challenges and potentialities of Taiwan studies. Sponsored by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation, the workshop will take place on April 7-8<sup>th </sup>2017 (Friday-Saturday), at Harvard University.</p>
<p>With the workshop, we seek to provide a new forum in which young scholars from different disciplines can present their ongoing projects, challenge existing frameworks and methodologies, and explore possibilities of interdisciplinary cooperation.</p>
<p>Participants are invited to present concrete case studies from Taiwan which enable them to engage with current theoretical and methodological issues in the humanities and social sciences. They are encouraged to situate Taiwan within diverse cultural and geopolitical networks and historical trajectories. We look forward to innovative theories deriving from transcultural and interdisciplinary dialogue. The keywords of their presentations include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Resistance politics: journalistic freedom, student activism, media connectivity</li>
<li>History and futurity: localism, modernism, post-colonialism, post-loyalism, sinicization and de-sinicization, East Asia and beyond</li>
<li>Cultural articulation: transculturaion and translation, mediality and visuality, lyricism and affect, Sinophone sphere</li>
</ul>
<p>The schedule of the workshop appears below.</p>
