Yaps by TAP: The Origins & Evolution Of Taiwanese Identities at Home and Abroad
TAP-Taipei is hosting an exciting special talk followed by Tappy hour. Join Us for an evening of Learning with Fulbright Scholar Evan Dawley — whether you are a recent transplant to Taiwan or long time resident curious about how identity on the island is shaped, this will be a delightful event for all.
Evan Dawley is Associate Professor of History at Goucher College, and previously worked in the Office of the Historian at the U.S. Department of State. He has carried out research on Japanese and Chinese colonialism in Taiwan, Taiwanese identity construction during the 20th century, the deportation of Japanese from Taiwan after 1945, and Japanese women settlers in Taiwan.
He is currently studying the ongoing creation of Sinitic identities in the context of relations between the Republic of China and communities of Chinese and Taiwanese abroad, and the ROC’s interactions with foreign governments around these communities.
He is the author of Becoming Taiwanese: Ethnogenesis in a Colonial City, 1880s-1950s (2019), which has also appeared in a Chinese translation, 成為臺灣人：殖民城市基隆下的民族形成 1880s – 1950s (2021), available at your local Eslite.
