A New Graduate-Level Introductory Course in Taiwan Studies.

The Graduate Institute of Taiwan Studies (GITS) at Chang Jung Christian University announces the opening of a new graduate-level course in Taiwan Studies. The course covers a wide range of issues affecting present-day Taiwan, such as historical-political development (decolonization and democratization), contemporary society (gender, ethnicity, national identity), and cross-Strait relations (political sovereignty and economic integration). The course not only provides basic knowledge about Taiwan, but also examines, through a critical and comparative perspective, some of the major issues confronting the island nation. In addition to regular lectures, the course will feature special lectures by renowned international scholars.

The course will meet on a weekly basis and will consist of 12 three-hour classes (class periods consist of two breaks). The language of the instruction is English.
