The NATPA "DEI-Taiwan" Survey

The North America Taiwanese Professors’ Association (NATPA) is committed to support scholars, who have experienced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) issues when conducting Taiwan-related research or being Taiwanese scholars in professional settings. Issues of such will be referred to as “DEI-Taiwan” in this survey. The DEI-Taiwan issues include but are not limited to Taiwan being listed as “a province of China” or other names in academic institutions, and scientific journals, and/or being requested/required to change the spelling of your name or terms used in Taiwan.

北美洲台灣人教授協會 (NATPA)透過這次的問卷，想請問您在學術經歷上，是否曾因台灣相關研究或台灣國籍遭受過不平等待遇？我們了解很多台灣學者和學生們在過去遇到這類的問題，常求助無門。有鑑於此，NATPA希望透過這次問卷了解在北美、台灣或其他國家的學者和學生們是否曾遇到如此的不平等待遇。NATPA將統整問卷結果及可能蒐集到的多元的應對方式，來提供學術工作者相關資源做為參考。您提供的內容絕對保密。若有任何問題，歡迎和NATPA聯絡 。

In this survey, we would like to collect your experience to evaluate the extent of DEI-Taiwan issues and possible solutions. Your participation is voluntary.

We also encourage you to provide your contact information for us to follow up if you are comfortable. Your contact information will be kept strictly confidential, only the DEI Chair and Co-Chair will be able to contact you and follow up if there is a need to get further information from you. In particular, for individuals who may need NATPA or the Taiwanese government to write a support letter to the source of DEI issues you are experiencing, your contact information will be necessary to communicate with us more effectively.
