This 1-credit course has three components: a fall term preparatory class, on-site travel and research in Taiwan during Winter Break, and a project course during the following Winter Term. Its approach is interdisciplinary, providing introductory expertise on Taiwan to students through historical, cultural, political, and religious angles. Students will experience those perspectives through on-site research, thematically guided by Taiwan's connection to Republican-era Chinese politics, colonial history, and its diverse cultural influences. This hands-on exploration will be enriched by expert-led discussions and private talks.
