Research supported by the Kyushu Taiwan Studies Program focuses especially on politics, identity discourse and public culture in contemporary Taiwan. But we also seek to provide a platform for Taiwan-related research across all disciplines within Kyushu University.
Edward Vickers and Lin Tzu-Bin of National Taiwan Normal University published a topic section of the International Journal of Taiwan Studies (Volume 5, Issue 1, 2022) on ‘Education and Society in Contemporary Taiwan’.
