Racializing Modernity in Language/Education: Mainstream Conceptions and Queer Alternatives in Taiwan

Fortney, Hudson R.
Abstract
This thesis focuses on the ways in which modernity, race and queerness (re)(dis)articulate with language in Taiwan, specifically in the context of English language education. I am interested in the imaginations that are created, and the ways that these imaginations both order and are ordered by power of multiple scales. In the city, this is manifest in popular conceptions of both Taiwanese and foreign (white) English teachers, the mainstream system and its flaws, and the materiality of the English section on the national college entrance exam. At my internship, this became manifest in our frameworks for alternatives, everyday methodologies and projects of education, and the ways that both were promoted and legitimated.
