Taiwan Studies Program


The Taiwan Studies program at USC is a partnership with the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO). Together, we have an eighteen year history of generating Taiwan-based programs and research. This includes sponsoring Taiwan centered colloquia, visiting scholars and artists, cultural events and student research. The most notable of these events is USC's annual conference on Taiwan issues. This once regional conference has now become international in scope with invited participants from across the United States and abroad, including scolars from Taiwan. We are proud to be able to say that we host the longest lasting and most renowned Taiwan centered conference in the country.

 

Since the late 1990s, the Center for Asian Studies (CAS) at USC has annually held the conference on Taiwan issues in Columbia, SC, with the generous support of the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO). Throughout its history, a wide range of topics regarding Taiwan has been covered, from democracy, political development, and economy, to social and cultural phenonema. The CAS has invited many well-known scholars and experts to contribute their insight during these conferences.
