My short bio
Wasiq Silan (高怡安) is a Tayal researcher of the Taranan river valley in northern Formosa (Taiwan). She is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Indigenous Development and Social Work at the National Dong Hwa University and a researcher at the Centre for Research on Ethnic Relations and Nationalism (CEREN) at the University of Helsinki. Her research interests are developing sustainable quality-of-life care systems, decolonizing state-Indigenous relationships, elder care, Indigenous relationalities, indigenizing curriculum, and sovereignty and collaborative and community-based approaches.
簡單自介
高怡安（Wasiq Silan），成長於原漢雙裔家庭的泰雅族，研究以烏來為核心、慢慢延伸其他泰雅族傳統領域的流域；研究主題聚焦健康、福祉與照顧的知識與實踐。目前任教於東華大學民族發展與社工系，兼任赫爾辛基大學國族主義與族群關係研究中心的研究員。東華大學座落在Pangcah(阿美族)的傳統領域，我認知到這塊土地從以前到現在都屬於他們。很感謝Cihak(志學)這塊土地給予的滋養，我的研究跟學思會記取並不斷反省與行動。
