A Very Full & Bright Fulbright Journey
Overview: With only five vibrant weeks to go before the conclusion of the spring 2018 semester in the Department of Ethnic Relations and Cultures, College of Indigenous Studies, at National Dong Hwa University (NDHU), I find it a bit hard to sum up this extraordinary and rich semester. Part of it
Bryce Christensen: Bringing the Xing Moment to Cross-cultural Literary Study
Dr. Christensen taught at National Taiwan University for 2019-20 as a visiting Fulbright professor. He had two classes, respectively on Willa Cather and Mark Twain, in which he found students in different cultures interpreted literature in different but meaningful ways.
Dr. Bryce Christensen, professor of English at Southern Utah University, received his Ph. D. in English literature from Marquette University. His current research focuses on the relationship between science and poetry, on non-Western literature (especially classical Chinese literature), and on utopian literature.
Reflections on Failure and Resiliency in Taiwan
Becoming familiar enough with Taipei that you countenance yourself enough to get to where you are supposed to be going without being glued to Google Maps; understanding just enough Chinese that make daily interactions so much more manageable and less stressful; figuring out how to pay your bills at 7-11;
Learning Taiwan’s Concepts of Social Justice: My Fulbright Journey at National Chengchi University
It was a colder night than usual in Kaohsiung. For me, it was mildly warm, but the locals all had to wear coats because they are used to scorching hot weather. We were sitting in a tightly packed living room with a mini projector discussing a strategy to get Taiwan’s
學術暨文化交流任務
「Fulbright基金會使用二戰留下來的軍武財產來促進文化交流,希望透過文化交流,讓世界各地的人們因為更了解彼此而減少衝突,不再有戰爭。」,2018年8月24日,時任Fulbright Taiwan 學術交流基金會執行長William Vocke對著來參加獎學金被提名者工作坊的我們說。至那時起,我就像被賦予了重大的使命般時刻提醒自己:「我來到美國,不只是來追求學術上的成就,同時也肩負著文化交流的重責大任!」
Genetics and Public Health of the Taiwanese Population
My research centers on the identification of inherited genetic variation that influences disease risk in humans. Only within the last decade, following the completion of the human genome project and rapid developments in DNA sequencing technology, has this been possible. Results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated both the
Brian Bruya: Cross-Cultural Philosophy in the Classroom
Dr. Brian Bruya won his second Fulbright Scholarship to Taiwan in 2019-2020. His project is titled ” Cross-cultural Philosophy in the classroom.” Due to the diversified backgrounds of the students, Dr. Bruya’s class at NTU became an ideal setting to teach comparative philosophy.
Dr. Brian Bruya, is a professor of philosophy at Eastern Michigan University, and an author of books and articles in the fields of comparative philosophy, cognitive science, and educational psychology. He is also a translator and has published translations of a number of popular comic books on Chinese philosophy, which have been featured in the New York Times.
Reflections on Taiwan
I am honored to have been included in the first Fulbright International Education Administrators Seminar in Taiwan. I applied to this experience to enrich myself and to hopefully bring back ideas on how my university can send more students to Taiwan. This seminar marks my first experience in an Asian
Reflections on the Fulbright International Education Administrators Grant to Taiwan
Reflections on the Fulbright International Education Administrators Grant to Taiwan My journey to the Fulbright IEA began in a meeting with some of the people in my International Office. A the time I was at Western Kentucky University (WKU), as the Associate Dean of my college. I dealt with all
波士頓的豐厚文化底蘊與羅拉小鎮的純樸安適:友誼.熱情.學習
二十多年前,在美國賓州匹茲堡大學取得碩士學位的經驗是美好而愉快的,可惜當時的我專注於課業的學習,未能深入體驗美國的文化與生活。回臺灣後,忙著家庭、博士班進修、教學與研究,雖曾在世界各地參與國際研討會,但會議地點均非美國,因此竟然超過二十年未曾踏進美國。
