Does queer Taiwan studies mean a focus on queer content, or is \"queering\" a method that can be used in studying any content in Taiwan studies?  In light of the emergence of queer indigenous studies and queer of color critique in North America, how might we consider the question of indigeneity, race, and ethnicity in queering Taiwan studies? Ultimately, what can a focus on Taiwan do to exceed the existing limits of queer theory, and how might the method of queering advance the transgressive potential of Taiwan studies?\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoward Chiang holds the Lai Ho \u0026amp; Wu Cho-liu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is also Professor of East Asian Languages \u0026amp; Cultural Studies (by appointment), Professor of History and Feminist Studies (by courtesy), and Director of the Center for Taiwan Studies.
