Lovers of Learning in Taiwan

 

Here’s some photos from my trip to Taiwan last month as a guest of Lin-Ching Hsia, professor of psychology at  Fu-Jen University in Taipei and a passionate and successful community organizer. (Lin was a Fulbright Scholar with the East Side Institute some years ago.) I visited and spoke with activists, scholars and community members from a workers’ university, immigrant women’s and sex worker centers, an after school program, aboriginal communities, and labor and political activists. It was an wonderfully educational and developmental journey!

    “Kiss and Ride”?!!!! Wow! it sounds so EROTICAL to me.
    After years of working as a COSWAS staff, I DEVELOP a special ability to read sex connotation in almost everything. Professional hazard, a good one though.
