This year’s two-day symposium featured contributions by Prof. Wu Rwei-ren of Academia Sinica (Taiwan), Prof. Yamazaki Naoya of Teikyo University (Japan), Prof. Kamizuru Hisahiko of Hiroshima University (Japan), and Kyushu University’s Dr Maehara Shiho. The lectures focused on history, memory and the politics of identity in contemporary Taiwan, with comparative reference to Hong Kong and Japan. Once again, the event was well-attended, with around 80 Kyushu University students and members of the public attending over the two days.
