Developing a Utopian Taiwan? Towards social inclusion of Indigenous peoples and Ethnic Minorities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by Assistant Professor Lawrence Ho, Education University of Hong Kong<\/em><\/p>\n

Like Australia, and other countries in our region, Taiwan has a complex colonial history with successive waves of colonisation from European powers and later Japanese and Chinese. Today the country’s population is made up primarily of those who originate from mainland China – 62% – with remainder of the population from Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Macau, the Philippines and other countries. Taiwan, like Australia, is a multicultural society.\u00a0 Also like Australia about 3% of of its population consists of Indigenous peoples who have survived the ravages of colonisation and continue to experience social disadvantage and exclusion. These Indigenous peoples have linguistic, genetic and cultural ties to Austronesian indigenous peoples who are among Australia’s near neighbours to the north and in the Pacific.<\/p>\n

This seminar explores the experience of Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples in the context of the country’s current social arrangements and wonders if strategies that draw lessons from Hong Kong policing practices are fit for purpose. It concludes by asking if there are other lessons regarding social inclusion and justice for indigenous peoples that might be learned from Australia or other countries in the Pacific with a colonial past that might also be helpful.<\/p>\n
