Taiwan’s centrality to pivotal eras and events in world history and its increasingly important role in today’s geopolitical and economic landscape make the island an ideal locus for exploring the idea of bridging disciplines across space and time. Using the award-winning interactive curriculum resource website, Centering Taiwan in Global Asia, (https://centeringtaiwan.pitt.edu/) as a teaching tool, this presentation will share the ways that Taiwan’s history can be incorporated into a variety of K-14 disciplines, such as global history, science and technology, economics, and world literatures and languages. Additionally, the website’s lesson plans and resource documents which focus on these disciplines will be shared to provide examples of how the study of Global Taiwan can help to bridge disciplines across space and time in the field of Asian Studies.
