Fills a gap in Korean Wave studies by studying it through the lens of gender. Women We Love is an edited collection exploring femininities in and around the Korean Wave since 2000. While studies on the Korean Wave are abundant, there is a dearth of analysis about the female-identifying stars, characters, and fans who shape and lead this crucial cultural movement. Using "women" as an inclusive term extending to all those who self-define as women, this collection of essays examines the role of women in K-pop and K-drama industries and fandom spaces, encompassing crucial intersectional topics such as queering of gender, dissemination of media, and fan culture. The audience for Women We Love will reflect the contributors to this text; they are K-pop and K-drama fans, queer, international; they are also academics of Asian histories, sociology, gender and sexuality, art history, and visual culture. The chapters are playful, intersectional, and will be adapted well into syllabi for media stud

A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

基因醫學風尖浪口的倫理省思西元1990 年起，由美國領銜多國科學家通力合作之「人類基因組計畫（Human Genome Project, HGP）」，進行人類基因組圖譜繪製的偉大工程。團隊在2003 年宣布完成92% 的定序，然而由於技術上的限制，所缺失的8% 在經過近20 年的努力後，終於由「端粒到端粒聯盟（T2T）團隊」宣布補齊，完成了人類基因組的完整測序解碼，發表在2022 年3 月Science 期刊 。計畫進行之初，深具遠見的計畫領導者Watson 教授即主張，基因醫學所涉及之倫理法律社會意涵與衝擊（ethical, legal, social implication/impact, ELSI）必需同時被檢驗，因此5% 的研究經費必須投入ELSI 之研究。如此前瞻而跨領域之大政方針，啟動了歐美學界對於基因醫學相關倫理法律社會問題研究之風潮，當時在我國主持「國科會基因體醫學國家型科技計畫National Research Program for Genomic Medicine」的陳定信院士認同此理念並將其納入規劃，亦帶動了台灣的人文社會學者趕上這個研究趨勢。2012 年之後「CRISPR（Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats）」與「次世代基因定序（next-generation sequencing）」技術陸續發展，大大地推升基因編輯與診斷的應用性，也為基因治療研究開啟新篇章，衍生之新治療也進入臨床試驗階段（例如運用於鐮刀型貧血、地中海貧血、兒童罕病等）。2020 年起武漢肺炎全球肆虐，以腺病毒為載體研發而成的AZ 疫苗以及以mRNA 技術研發而成的Moderna 與BNT 疫苗更是樹建其工、大大減少染疫者重症比例與死亡人數，讓大流行疫情趨向緩解。2001 年起，筆者受到基因體計畫「倫理法律社會影響組（Ethical , legal social impact, ELSI）」召集人之邀請，提出研究計畫申請並獲得委託執行，於是開啟了近20年的「基因醫學倫理」研究之路，期間獲得多次國科會與衛生署補助相關計畫，計畫執行過程中陸續發表相關論文成果，許多主題是環繞在「基因檢測倫理」此核心之上；因為儘管基因醫學之發展無遠弗屆，醫病互動與溝通過程中的「基因檢測與諮詢」仍為最重要之一環。筆者於是

An examination of the Counter-Enlightenment movement in China. In Modern Chinese Counter-Enlightenment, Peng Hsiao-yen argues that a trend of Counter-Enlightenment had grown from the late Qing to the May Fourth era in the 1910s to the 1920s and continued to the 1940s. She demonstrates how Counter-Enlightenment was manifested with case studies such as Lu Xun's writings in the late 1900s, the Aesthetic Education movement from the 1910s to 1920s, and the Science and Lifeview debate in the 1920s. During the period, the life philosophy movement, highlighting the epistemic debate on affect and reason, is connected with its counterparts in Germany, France, and Japan. The movement had a widespread and long-term impact on Chinese philosophy and literature. Using the transcultural lexicon as methodology, this book traces how the German term Lebensanschauung (life view), a key concept in Rudolf Eucken's life philosophy, constituted a global tide of Counter-Enlightenment that influenced the though
