On 7 June, Join us for the Science Bubble Tea, for the first time in Kaohsiung!

The « Science Bubble Tea » is the flagship Franco-Taiwanese science event organised by the French Office in Taipei, where we gather the best French and Taiwanese scientific experts to debate science, technology and societal challenges

Less than 50 days before the kick-start of the Olympics in France, we will discuss sports in Taiwan with a fantastic franco-taiwanese duo of social scientists : Jérôme Soldani and Tzu-Hsuan Chen. Both are experts of sports in Taiwan, and will bring unique scientific insights on why sports matters for people and society.

Modern Sports are closely linked to identities claims. Baseball and Olympism in Taiwan are no exception. From a historical and political anthropology perspective, and based on two decades of research and fieldwork on Sport in Taiwan, this conference will offer some reflections on the trajectories taken by baseball and olympism in the Taiwanese context.
