Negotiating Identities in the Covid-19 Crisis
Taiwan, internationally acclaimed for its early success in COVID-19 control, credits its robust system of medical epidemiologists as pivotal. This article examines how these physicians were caught between the professionalism of global health initiatives and the challenges of local governance in a structurally unequal world. These dynamics shaped their roles as both members of transnational networks upholding professional principles and national s…
Passage to Manhood
Passage to Manhood is a groundbreaking and beautifully written ethnography that addresses the intersection of modernity, heroin use, and AIDS as they intersect in a new "rite-of-passage" among young ethnic-minority males in contemporary China
Discrimination and incorporation of Taiwanese indigenous Austronesian peoples
This paper examines contemporary developments among Taiwan’s indigenous Austronesian peoples. We have reviewed major policy changes mainly since the 1980s and their impacts on later developments – both the positive improvements in general well-being and the persistence of ingrained problems among them.

All of a sudden, a primary-sc…
Contested Aids Stigmatization in Southwest China

The Nuosu did not discriminate against victims of the disease prior to state intervention, but stigma has been introduced by the Chinese state agents' mechanical transplantation of a global AIDS intervention program, which has generated fear of AIDS in the community. This situation developed from state agents' wi…
