As Taiwan finds itself reentering into the global conversation today, where does the field of Taiwan Studies find itself in this historical moment? From the origins of capitalism to the threat of nuclear pollution, from soundscapes in the authoritarian era to contemporary video games, from indigenous identities to Cold War activism, and from geopolitical competition to ecological imaginations – how do we identify different moments of Taiwan’s history as key nodes of global and local processes? This symposium, now in its second iteration, seeks to bring together different generations of global Taiwan scholars, with the goal to foster new linkages and networks for a burgeoning field.
