Professor Fa-ti Fan, EASTS' associate editor and the incumbent president of the History of Science Society (HSS), led a series of events in Taiwan this June. It was a wonderful opportunity for the EASTS community to gather and hold a conversation on STS related topics.
On 19 June 2023, Professor Evelynn Hammonds, the former chair of the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University and incoming president of the History of Science Society (HSS), gave a public lecture at National Chengchi University (NCCU) in Taipei, Taiwan. In the talk, Professor Hammonds shared her insights on “Building Equity into Higher Education Institutions,” which derived from her experience of being an African American female scientist and her career as faculty and dean at elite higher education institutions. The event was cohosted by NCCU’s International College of Innovation (ICI) and College of Social Sciences (CSS), and EASTS. EASTS editor-in-chief and dean of the ICI, Professor Wen-Ling Tu, along with the dean of the CSS, Professor Wan-Ying Yang, moderated the lively Q&A session following the talk.
