    11: In the Global Vanguard, with Professor James Lin
    Oct 23 2025
    Have you ever heard of the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center?
    Professor James Lin from the University of Washington explains what this was while also sharing the backstory to his latest book. In doing so, he demonstrates how Taiwan's early development missions impacted Taiwan's own population in ways that echo through to the present.

    James Lin is a historian of Taiwan and its interactions with the world in the 20th century. His book, “In the Global Vanguard: Agrarian Development and the Making of Modern Taiwan” (University of California Press 2025), examines rural reform and agricultural science in China and Taiwan from the early 20th century through the postwar era, then its subsequent re-imagining during Taiwanese development missions to Africa, Asia, and Latin America from the 1950s onward.

    10: Is the Taiwanese Language Asleep? Awakening Taiwanese Ability with Professor Khóo from NTNU
    Sep 2 2025
    After a quick recap of its history, Professor Khóo Huī-Lû from NTNU discusses the idea that Taiwanese is a sleeping language that needs to be awoken! She gives some examples of how she looks to awaken the language in an everyday context, with a strong sense that the awakening of Taiwanese would actually benefit the revitalisation of minority languages (such as Hakka and Indigenous languages) in Taiwan.

    9: How the Syntax of Taiwanese Makes the Language Stand Out, with Prof. Lau Seng-hian
    Jul 28 2025
    Professor Lau Seng-hian from the department of Taiwan Culture, Languages and Literature at NTNU, discusses how 'Taiwanese' has evolved as a language, using its syntax to challenge commonly held assumptions about the makeup and structure of the language and revealing a new side to the character of Taiwanese.

    He also identifies the three key criteria for language-naming, arguing that according to international norms, 'Taiwanese' is indeed the correct name for this language!
