Dear Members and Friends of EATS,

We are pleased to announce that our 2024 September issue for EATS Newsletter has now gone LIVE on our website. From Sept 2024 onwards, the newsletter transitions to LIVE webpage format. So that you can simply get more regular updates from us with a few clicks away. 

The newsletter page can be found by scrolling to the middle of our main page (https://eats-taiwan.eu/) where you will see “Recent News” to link to the latest articles that are included in the upcoming release. 

Alternatively, you can go onto the section of “News” at the top-right corner, you will see further break down of different subsections and colour labels that help you to navigate the articles you wish to read more intuitively.

We hope, with this new “face-lift”, the newsletter is more adaptable to today’s news consumption and allows more EATS friends to enjoy their reading. If you wish to provides us some comments or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us (corrado.neri@eats-taiwan.eu and tihan.chang@eats-taiwan.eu) 

We continue to provide 2 issues throughout the year, so major updates of EATS newsletter will be announced at the beginning of each academic term. However, if there are quick updates about CFP or new project info, we will update them more instantly.

Also, 2024 UCLan Spotlight Taiwan will be hosting its “Home x Queer” strand on 23 Sept 2024 (Monday) in Manchester.
