This special co-released episode between NATSA and New Bloom is a recording of the first event of NATSA’s 2022 Online Festival, which took place on the evening of July 22, 2022 US time and featured Professors Wen Liu and Wendy Cheng. The event, moderated by Daniel Yo-Ling, explored how we can critically engage with the recent propagation of New Cold War discourses while at the same time bearing in mind the lasting legacy of the Cold War on Taiwan’s history and present. Both of our invited speakers approached this topic by sharing about their current research and book manuscripts. Professor Cheng shared about the lives and radical politics of Taiwanese migrants to the United States from the 1960s to 1980s, such as Lin Shiaw-shin (林孝信), Kao Cheng-yan (高成炎), and Chen Wen-Chen (陳文成); while Professor Liu shared about tankism and Asian American political formation, civil defense training in Taiwan in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the reductionism of Cold war binarism.
本集很榮幸邀請兩位和 NATSA 淵源頗深的社科學人:維婷和晏庭,和大家分享他們在北美教學現場的觀察與反思。 維婷在賓州 Franklin and Marshall College 政府系擔任助理教授,同時身兼 NATSA 董事會成員;晏庭則是加州大學聖地牙哥分校社會學博士候選人。 在研究與教學兩者的分流與匯流之間,維婷和晏庭提供了幾種思考與實踐的方法。本集也延續前幾集的討論,從「distributed cognition」的角度出發,討論如何創造教學相長的正向循環。此外,兩位來賓也提出,AI 重新提醒學人有哪些學與思的門檻,以及變化中的「學習」本質。 延伸閱讀:維婷的文章 如果你對這些議題有任何想法、回應,歡迎留言或私訊我們!
