We encourage participants to suggest topics and organized panels. Panels
on literature and language have already been suggested and are being
developed. Participants should think creatively, but we do require that
some aspect of Taiwanese society be central to the content of papers and
panels. Papers on the following topics are of particular interest:
- Culture, Belief and National Identity: Religion and Literature in Taiwan
- Engendering Democracy: Women's Movements and Feminist Issues
- History and Emergent Identities: Negotiating Post-Colonialism
- Building the New Democracy: Institutions, Social Policies and Political Reform, Global Challenges, Economic Restructuring and State-Society Relations, National Security, Foreign Policy and
