In her new book Raising Global Families: Parenting, Immigration, and Class in Taiwan and the US (Stanford 2018), Professor Lan uses parenting as an empirical lens to examine cultural transformation and persisting inequality in the contexts of globalization and immigration. This talk focuses on the distinct strategies of \u201cglobal parenting\u201d among Taiwanese families across the socioeconomic spectrum. Professional middle-class parents employ divergent educational strategies to pursue cosmopolitan parenting: some arrange international school and bilingual programs to prepare their children for the imminent future of global competition, while some others choose Western-influenced alternative curriculums to escape the tradition of rote learning and academic pressure. Globalization touches the lives of working-class families in very different ways. Taiwanese men, who suffer from rising economic insecurity due to capital outflow and labor inflow, seek wives from China and Southeast Asia. These immigrant mothers\u2019 cultural heritage and transnational connections are hardly recognized as valuable assets until the government encourages investment to Southeast Asia in the recent \u201cNew Southbound Policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her fascinating study yielded many responses from the room. One audience member asked Lan, \u201cWhat advice should I give my daughter, who is Taiwanese and wants her child to go to the best US colleges?\u201d Lan pointed out how these concerns were universal and are at the heart of what it means to be a parent. \u00a0Her work gives us a greater understanding of the human condition and puts into perspective the hurdles, as well as the determination, of Taiwanese parenting. Overall, Professor Lan\u2019s insights engaged the audience by introducing a facet of Taiwanese and American social life that is so crucial to understand given today\u2019s increasingly complex multicultural world.<\/span><\/p>\n
