【訊息轉知】亞比中心7月19-20日國際研討會【Transnational Families and the Second Generation in Asia】

聽到新移民、新二代,你想到什麼?同樣的名詞,在20年前與現在的台灣有甚麼不同的意義?這些名詞在亞際婚姻與跨國家庭逐漸普遍的當代南韓、香港、台灣與日本,又代表甚麼意涵?而這些名詞所指稱的社群,在看似相同卻又相異的東亞社會裡,有甚麼共同或不同的生活經驗,他們又是如何看待自己?

亞比中心很榮幸邀請到來自日本、韓國、菲律賓、美國、香港與台灣的14位學者,於719日與20日舉辦的"Transnational Families and the Second Generation in Asia"國際研討會中,探討亞太區域的亞際家庭經驗,並理解在這些家庭中長大的第二代如何與主流社會協商、形塑個人認同。

本研討會以實體為主,部分場次開放線上直播,

What comes to mind when you hear the terms “new immigrants” (xīn yímín) and “the (new) second generation” (xīn’èrdài)? How do these same terms differ in meanings and connotations in Taiwan now compared to 20 years ago? What do these terms signify in contemporary South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, where intermarriages and transnational families are becoming increasingly common? Within seemingly similar yet different East Asian societies, what shared or distinct life experiences do these communities referred to by these terms have, and how do they perceive and define themselves?

 

To explore the experiences of transnational families in the Asia-Pacific region and understand how the second generation raised in these families negotiate and shape their personal identities in mainstream society, GARC organizes and hosts the conference “Transnational Families and the Second Generation in Asia,” held on July 19th and 20th. In this hybrid conference, distinguished scholars from Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, the United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have been invited to share their research and observations on the lived experiences of parents and children in transnational marriages and families in East Asia.

Professor Mohammad Mainul Islam, PhD (the University of Dhaka) 
|Title
The Population of Bangladesh: Past, Present, and Future
| Abstract 
Bangladesh, the 8th largest populated country in the world, gained independence in 1971. Bangladesh turned 50 in 2021 and has made remarkable changes in population dynamics- fertility, mortality, and migration. The country is now phasing the third stage of demographic transition with an opportunity to achieve the demographic dividend which needs urgent action while keeping the replacement level of total fertility, addressing adolescent motherhood and their unmet need for family planning, preventing child marriages, and reducing high maternal mortality ratios, addressing population aging, high youth unemployment and increased climate change vulnerabilities are critical challenges. In this regard, this talk will explore the past, present, and future population, focusing on the key demographic processes and determining the drivers of population change and issues up to 2041—the year benchmarked for the country to attain 'developed' status.
