Taiwan Lives: A Social and Political History

Using Niki Alsford’s 2024 book Taiwan Lives: A Social and Political History, this course explores Taiwan's history from 1895 under Japanese rule to 2020 under President Tsai Ing-wen. Similar to The Canterbury Tales, the book features the stories of twenty-four individuals to illustrate significant periods, historical events, and social changes in Taiwan’s evolution and identity. Designed to enrich understanding and teaching of Taiwan’s history, this course offers participants a deep exploration of Alsford’s text, popular media, discussions with fellow educators, and the opportunity to meet the author on October 12th.
