Flyer for an event hosted by the Indiana University East Asian Studies Center.

The title of the event is: Taiwan Studies Initiative: Progressive Family Law as an Anticolonial Strategy
Date: August 28th
Time: 1:30 pm ET
Location: GISB 2067

The text of the flyer reads: This talk, based on Dr. Chenโ€™s book project, challenges conventional narratives by examining Japan-ruled Taiwan (1895โ€“1945), arguing that progressive family law can function as a mode of anti-colonial resistance. The project concludes that family law need not be reactionary, a contention underscored by Taiwanโ€™s 2019 legalization of same-sex marriage, which embodies a still vibrant and enduring progressive nationalism.
