Shieh, Jhy-Wey - Professor and Dean of The Foreign Language College at Taiwan's Soochow University. Prof. Shieh is not only a distinguished scholar in the field of linguistics, but also a devoted activist in the development of Taiwan's young democracy and social affairs. He has delivered numerous speeches and published many articles on the subjects. Prof. Shieh gained popular recognition among Taiwanese with his impressive performance as a talented co-host for the memorable 2000 presidential election rally in Taipei for candidate Chen Shui-bian. Mr. Chen then went on to become the first opposition party candidate ever to win the Presidency. Prof. Shieh is well-known for his witty and humorous presentations. He plans to have a "casual" evening discussion on 7/4 (the registration day). Prof. Shieh is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech and will participate as a panelist in the political forum on 7/5. Those who know him personally often remark about his warm and courteous nature. The Boston Planning Committee is honored to have this colorful speaker with us at TAC/EC 2002. 謝志偉教授 - 東吳大學德文系教授兼外語學院院長: 早年留學德國,取得波鴻大學德國文學博士。大家可記得,兩年前阿扁總統選舉的造勢會上,那位風趣幽默、既說又唱,將全場氣氛帶到最高潮的主持人,卻是平常文質彬彬,學養兼備,獲得多項研究獎勵的外語學院院長。其實謝教授多年來在學術工作之餘,即非常關心台灣的民主發展,並積極參與社會運動。 此次謝教授除了參加美東夏令會之外,也接受今年其他北美地區夏令會的積極邀請。謝教授將於七月五日,在大會作主題演講,講題:一個「全新半山」的心路歷程。七月四日註冊日的晚上,準備請謝教授主持不限題材的「開講會」。 波士頓籌備會,熱誠歡迎謝志偉教授加盟今年的美東盛會,並期待他為大會加添聲色。 以下取自南方快報 謝志偉專欄 : 莫讓「台灣論」事件演成「乩童鴨講」 家父是民國三十八年由廣東來台,在與原本世居澎湖、雙親遷至高雄的家母結婚後,生下來的四個孩子理所當然地就成了過去民間習稱的「半山仔」,其中一個就是在這屆總統大選中、叩應節目裡以及寄到學校的信上被辱罵為「背祖忘宗小雜種」的我。 |
