Channeling Facts, Crouching Rumours
This study examines the confrontation between Taiwan and Covid in the period before the virus finally invaded and spread widely on the island in May 2021. While the general approach to Taiwan’s success in keeping the virus out is historical, stating the policy lessons learned from previous anti-pandemic experience, the study focuses on how these coping strategies were able to be made and conducted with little disruption from misinformation and co…

An Ecumenical Medicine Yet To Come
This essay provides an assessment of Joseph Needham’s account of Chinese medicine. Focusing on Needham’s thesis on the making of ecumenical science, it reviews the volume on medicine in Science and Civilisation in China and provides a close reading of Celestial Lancets: A History and Rationale of Acupuncture and Moxa, the first scholarly book in English dedicated to this topic. Noting an increase in work on the history of medicine that has shifte…
Turning Ethics into Institutions

Put Asia on the Map of Race; Put Race on the Map of Asia
Culturally bound and socially contested, race has been debated by humanities and social science scholars over the last century in terms of its arbitrary definition, ambiguous categorization, and im
Techno-politics of genomic nationalism
The Voice on the Bridge
This paper analyzes Taiwan's engagement with the standardization of pharmaceutical clinical trials at the turn of this century. Unlike approaches that treat local encounters with globalization as either reluctant acceptance or lasting resistance, this study calls attention to a complicated process of negotiation, the conceptual gap between the illusion of a unified world and the reality of persistently divided nation-states. To address this gap, …
