| Thursday, March 10, 2011 | 4:00PM - 6:00PM | Seminar Room 108N, Munk School of Global Affairs 1 Devonshire Place |
The Asian Institute’s Chu program organized the second year of an annual field school delegation to Taiwan in December 2010. The students, which comprised both ASI and other A&S students, travelled to Taiwan for a week, during which time they met with and interviewed officials in government (including Taiwan’s former Premier), leaders in industry and academia, as well as social movement / NGO activists. The students also prepared papers in advance of their trip, which they presented seminar-style to the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at the National Chengchi University.
The Field School Seminar is a forum for our students to present their work, their thoughts on Taiwan and the Asia region more generally. They will also reflect on the importance of travel and field work.

1. WELCOME
