Myron L. Cohen, Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute is working on three book projects, all focusing on the Meinong (Minong) region in southern Taiwan. “Minong’s Contracts: Illustrations, Transcriptions, Translations, Commentary, and Narrative” is the first of his planned books, while second is “Minong in Late Imperial China: Local Society and the Reach of the State.” The third project involves revising and expanding his early book House United, House Divided: The Chinese Family in Taiwan, so as to include consideration of changes in family life during the more than 45 years that have passed since he conducted the fieldwork upon which the original book was based.
Both the lecture and the reception will be held in 165 Thompson Library.
