The presentation will be followed by an open discussion, in which students can also share their points of view on mainland Chinese and Western foods, as well as other forms of cross-cultural eating in Taiwan today, and how these experiences contrast with traditional/indigenous practices.The lecture is sponsored by Center for Teaching Excellence and Department of Ethnic Relations & Cultures of NDHU.
