This past February, fifteen students from JPA411 (Global Taiwan) and CAS400 (Critical Perspectives on Asian Modernity) participated in an International Course Module (ICM) to both the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China to further their knowledge on cross-strait relations. The student delegation travelled to various locations including Taipei, Taichung and Kinmen in Taiwan, as well as Xiamen and Zhangzhou in Fujian, China. The student delegation approached cross-strait issues from a variety of perspectives to provide a new outlook on the complex relationship between Taiwan and China. Through a series of interviews and meetings with high officials, scholars and students on both sides of the strait, the delegates explored topics on cross-strait educational exchange, poverty, NGOs, cinema, marriage, food and migration.
The student panel will be joined by Professor Lynette Ong, leader of the delegation. The presentation will also feature keynote speaker Winston Chen, the Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office. Please join and relive with the students the highlights of their journey, captured by a collection of short documentaries, photographs and presentations.
