The 4th WCTS has received a few inquiries regarding publication plans.
WCTS does not have plans to publish proceedings from the World Congress as a whole.
However, we encourage individual presenters to submit peer-reviewable, article-length research papers for publication with the International Journal of Taiwan Studies. For more information, please refer to author submission suidelines.
For participants who wish to publish a shorter version of their conference paper on Taiwan Insight, please send your paper, of no more than 1,500 words, to chun-yi.lee@nottingham.ac.uk by 15th of June. Taiwan Insight will organize a 4th WCTS special issue during or after conference.

The World Congress of Taiwan Studies program is now available for viewing here.
Due to ongoing pandemic travel restrictions faced by Taiwan-based scholars, the World Congress will adopt a hybrid format that will allow a handful of Taiwan-based scholars to present remotely. All rooms are equipped with projectors, cameras, and microphones to allow for a live panel experience.
All World Congress panels that have consented will also be live streamed and recorded on UW Taiwan Studies YouTube and Facebook platforms for the global Taiwan Studies community. Registration is free and open to all. If you are general public member, you can register to receive the streaming information and URLs directly to your email. Recordings will also be made available publicly for viewing after the World Congress.

WCTS planning is going forward on the assumption that Covid-related travel restrictions will be lifted well in advance of the meeting, and that we can hold a safe, in-person meeting. We ask that participants plan to be in Seattle for the meeting, but remain aware that this is an evolving situation, which we are watching closely. We thank you for your patience and flexibility.
