🌏Caring for Nature is Caring for Society: Reconsidering Human–Nature Coexistence in a “Semiconductor City”
When we think of Hsinchu, semiconductors and high-tech industries often come first. Yet beyond the science park, diverse forms of human–nature coexistence are also taking place.
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, this webinar brings together urban political ecology and "care" to ask how humans and nature coexist in a high-tech city;and how caring for nature may also become an ethical practice of caring for society.
