Perry\, Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute; Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince Lung Yingtai relocated to an indigenous village in eastern Taiwan three years ago\, she sought to comprehend the elements that comprise her life\, including the journey of her daily water supply from the mountain’s depths to her garden pond. Furthermore\, she regularly encounters cobras\, wild boars and crab-eating mongooses\, prompting her to examine the impact of cultural as well as environmental “encroachment” on the wildlife and people residing in the untouched forest. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Lung Yingtai is a writer\, literary critic and public intellectual. Lung not only has a large number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan\, but her works also have great influence in the Chinese-language world in Singapore\, Malaysia\, China\, and North America. Lung entered public service as Taipei City Government’s first minister of culture in 1999 and served as Taiwan’s inaugural Minister of Culture from 2012-2014. She is author of more than two dozen books\, including essays\, fiction\, reportage\, and literary criticism. Her 1985 book\, The Wild Fire\, created a major cultural stir for its honest and introspective look at the social and political problems facing contemporary Taiwan society. Big River\, Big Sea: Untold Stories of 1949\, published in 2009\, became a must-read in greater China despite that it has been banned in China. She was Hung Leung Hao Ling Distinguished Fellow in Humanities at the University of Hong Kong from 2015-2020. \n\n\n\nOrganized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and co-sponsored with the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia \n\n\n\nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/my-life-in-an-indigenous-village/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/lung-yingtai-my-life-in-an-indigenous-village/ LOCATION:CGIS South\, Tsai Auditorium (S010)\, 1730 Cambridge St\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Co-Sponsored Lectures,Events of Interest,Taiwan ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/LYTphoto_Harvard-e1695064782855.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230516T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230516T110000 DTSTAMP:20260509T204548 CREATED:20230504T151244Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230618T220548Z UID:32292-1684229400-1684234800@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Visiting Scholars Present: Taiwan Studies DESCRIPTION:Fairbank Center visiting scholars will share the work of Taiwan filmmaker Edward Yang\, research on Qing Dynasty Taiwan war preparations\, and new findings on U.S. views of U.S.-China AI competition.

DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \nThere is an intense debate among experts over the likelihood of a near-term Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Senior US military officers have warned that a PRC military action could take place in the next six years. Such dire predictions are largely based on estimates of PLA capabilities. But even if China can seize and control Taiwan\, will it do so? Assessing the potential for such an attack also requires an understanding of Xi Jinping’s strategy toward Taiwan and his risk/benefit calculus. The policies of the United States and Taiwan\, and how they are viewed in Beijing\, also need to be taken into account. \nSpeaker: Bonnie Glaser\, Director\, Asia Program\, German Marshall Fund of the United States \n\n\nBonnie S. Glaser is director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. She was previously senior adviser for Asia and the director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Ms. Glaser is concomitantly a nonresident fellow with the Lowy Institute in Sydney\, Australia\, and a senior associate with the Pacific Forum. For more than three decades\, Ms. Glaser has worked at the intersection of Asia-Pacific geopolitics and U.S. policy. \n\n\n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/critical-issues-confronting-china-series-featuring-bonnie-glaser/ LOCATION:MA CATEGORIES:Critical Issues Confronting China,Critical Issues Confronting China Series,Taiwan,Taiwan Studies END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210628T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210628T110000 DTSTAMP:20260509T204548 CREATED:20210614T182428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220801T183136Z UID:10797-1624872600-1624878000@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Special Event - The State of Taiwan Studies: A Roundtable Discussion on Methods and Directions DESCRIPTION:Read the transcript of the event here. \nPanelistsJaw-Nian Huang\, Assistant Professor\, Graduate Institute of Development Studies\, National Chengchi University\, TaiwanLawrence Zi-Qiao Yang\, Assistant Professor\, Institute of Social Research and Cultural Studies\, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University\, TaiwanKevin Wei Luo\, Doctoral Fellow\, Hou Family fellow in Taiwan Studies\, Harvard UniversityLev Nachman\, PhD in political science\, UC Irvine \nDiscussantChing-fang Hsu\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Research Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences\, Ministry of Science and Technology\, Taiwan \nThis roundtable discussion brings together past and present Hou Family Doctoral Fellows in Taiwan Studies at the Fairbank Center\, to discuss current methodological approaches and emerging thematic directions in the study of Taiwanese history\, society\, and politics.
