Description
the Asian Institute’s Chu program piloted a field school delegation to Taiwan in December 2009. 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 Taiwan University and National Chengchi University.
In short, these students experienced a truly global moment. The trip was such a great success that the field school will be continued in the coming years.
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.
