HI/LW4091 Practicing Democracy in Taiwan

Taiwan, one of the few democratic countries in East Asia, witnessed a rapid path towards democratization in the past three decades. Meet weekly to study the history of Taiwan and its complicated relationship to China. Visit museums, archives, and other institutions to study further the history of Taiwan; explore the history of successive colonizations, including the Dutch, the Japanese, and the Chinese; and speak with nongovernmental groups, legislators, and civil society activists. Discuss topics including the death penalty, juvenile education, prison reform, and gay marriage. Study the history of democracy and engage in its practice.
