An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai will provide valu

Christmas is one of the most special times of the year for the young narrator and her brother—and it’s even more special when they spend it with Nana and Grandpa! From playing with the train under the tree to baking delicious Christmas treats, Christmas with Nana and Grandpa is magical.Christmas is one of the most special times of the year for the young narrator and her brother—and it’s even more special when they spend it with Nana and Grandpa! The children help to shovel the snow on the sidewalk in front of Nana and Grandpa’s house, where they admire the colorful Christmas lights on the house and the icicles on the roof’s edges. They spend time making a snowman, and then when they get too cold, it’s time to go inside and sit by the fireplace drinking hot chocolate. Grandpa shows the children his train that runs around the Christmas tree, and then everyone sits down to enjoy a delicious Christmas feast. The children help Nana make special Christmas cookies, and they leave out a few fo

白海豚、塑化劑、核廢料也能為自己「伸冤」？ 協商劇場，是一種「結合藝術展演與社會科學研究」的教學法，以角色扮演、辯論等方式呈現政治協商的「合縱連橫」，聚合來自各領域與意見相左的利害關係人，激盪出不同面向的思維與辯證；其可以廣泛地與各式各樣科技相關的社會議題相結合，和傳統教學方法相輔相成，成為一種探討與培育我們如何認識與面對科技爭議的新途徑，從中學習如何探索爭議的內涵及找到可接受的暫時安置方法，而一齣未完待續的劇場，能開啟我們共同政治願景的想像與可能性。本書收錄的五場「協商劇場」教學實驗歷程，是2020年台北雙年展《你我不住在同一星球上》之展演成果。由台灣科技與社會研究學會（Taiwan Science, Technology and Society Association）與五所大學師生們合作，將該展覽軸心拉回我們自身島嶼的經緯，針對離岸風電、核廢、助孕科技、塑化劑與減碳等社會議題開展課程，並於台北市立美術館進行公眾展演。當人類角色與非人角色，以及其他參與者走進（捲入）盤據美術館地下展場的亮橘色漩渦狀長椅，就很難再有離場的機會，而此公眾設施在美術館「劇場」內，便成為「協商」的敘事舞台。可貴之處是，這個協商過程並非為了尋求特定答案，而是尋找如何解決的方式。 ●專文推薦面對這些處境，與其感到無能為力，我們用「協商劇場」結合藝術、戲劇、表演，還有STS（Science, Technology and Society），實驗性地探討接下來的進路。——馬汀．圭納（Martin Guinard）／獨立策展人，與布魯諾•拉圖（Bruno Latour）共同擔任2020台北雙年展策展人 「協商劇場」不只是個空間或議事場，它是以美術館／視覺藝術為脈絡、攪動價值體系和社會結構的漩渦，在進入這個渦流系統之前與之後，……驚覺我們對世界知識的狹隘，反省和重新尋找我們在世界該有或可有的位置。——林平／台北市立美術館前館長暨東海大學美術系專任教授，現任臺灣美術基金會執行長 如果你在翻閱過程中，對於某些議題持著不同的立場與論點，或是覺得你更適合作為代表，那就令人放心了！協商劇場的「開放式結局」不會因為這本書而進入完結篇，真實中的各類爭議仍需要不斷的討論與修正。——林怡華／2020台北雙年展公眾計畫策展人 ●適用於各教學現場的「協商劇場」之前看過20
