    THE BROWN MOMENT IN TAIWAN: MAKING SENSE OF THE LAW AND POLITICS OF THE TAIWANESE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE CASE IN A COMPARATIVE LIGHT Ming-Sung Kuo & Hui-Wen Chen+ The Taiwan Constitutional Court (TCC) recently issued a landmark decision in Interpretation No. 748 (the Same-Sex Marriage Case), declaring the definition of marriage as a gender-differentiated union of a man and a woman under the Civil Code unconstitutional and setting the stage for Taiwan to become the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision has been compared to Obergefell v. Hodges. However, reading Obergefell in the broad context of the gay rights movement and the role of judicial review in Taiwanese constitutional politics, we challenge this analogy. Due to the discrepancy between the social movement and the law in the fight for constitutional rights for gays and lesbians in Taiwan, the Same-Sex Marriage Case is Taiwan’s Brown v. Board of Education moment in her constitutional law and politics. To make sense of the law and politics of the Same Sex Marriage Case, we evaluate its political context and the text and style in its reasoning. We observe a discrepancy between law and politics in the pursuit of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians in Taiwan. The rise of same-sex marriage to the top of the antidiscrimination agenda resulted from the continuous effort of gay rights activists, while the TCC watched this movement from the sidelines until the Same-Sex Marriage Case. This case thus mirrors Brown in two respects. First, the role of the TCC has been publicly questioned after its Brown-like contentious decision on the issue of same-sex marriage.

We're on the small side, which has some advantages. For one thing, just about everybody knows everyone. Our teachers may get mad sometimes, but we know they really care about us. And Marian is fun. There's always time to fool around a little: talk with friends, play games and just goof off. That's what we sometimes like to do best.

  • An Interview with Mali Wu, Co-Curator of 2018 Taipei Biennial
    Leora Joy Jones An Interview with Mali Wu, Co-curator of 2018 Taipei Biennial Leora Joy Jones: Your approach to art has changed quite a bit over the years. Can you tell me about your practice now? Mali Wu: I am interested in socially engaged art that has a function. This function is pedagogical, regardless of whether the artist is conscious of the audience or not. Art is a medium that provides a certain message. It is important for curators to work with the idea of the public in our consciousness and focus on how to approach audiences to convey what we are saying. I have been practicing this kind of socially engaged art for almost twenty years. I see it as a kind of positive social critique. Leora Joy Jones: For how long have you practiced curation? Mali Wu: I’m not a curator. My practice is research oriented and project based. I organize events in the community. This is the first time I’ve been invited to curate such a big show. Fortunately I did not do it alone. My co-curator, Francesca Manacorda, is very experienced curating in museums, so he helped a lot in organizing the space.

Ort und Datum der Disputation: Hamburg, 5. November 2013 2 This thesis was written as the result of a dissertation project funded by the Landesexzellenzinitiative Hamburg, which allowed me to participate in the Hamburg International Graduate School for the Study of Regional Powers, jointly organized by the University of Hamburg and the GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies. Due to this grant, I was able to pursue my own studies by linking up with GIGA´s China specialists, conducting the necessary field research trips, and taking advantage of internal review mechanisms to improve the quality of my work. This thesis not have been completed without the excellent supervision of Patrick Köllner, who went out of his way to provide very speedy, thorough and insightful commentary on my drafts. Heike Holbig and Nele Noesselt also offered very valuable suggestions on how to improve parts of this thesis from a sinological perspective. My colleague Nadine Godehardt shared her experience on conducting research in China and introduced me to some of her contacts there, giving me a leg up on my own work. During my own trips to Beijing and Shanghai, I was able to take advantage of the hospitality of China Foreign Affairs University and Fudan University, allowing me to gather first-hand knowledge about these institutions and witnessing the education of China´s next generation of IR specialists.

Here we describe how machine learning can be a powerful tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping society adapt to a changing climate. From smart grids to disaster management, we identify high impact problems where existing gaps can be filled by machine learning, in collaboration with other fields. Our recommendations encompass exciting research ques- tions as well as promising business opportunities. We call on the machine learning community to join the global effort against climate change. Introduction The effects of climate change are increasingly visible.1 Storms, droughts, fires, and flooding have become stronger and more frequent [3]. Global ecosystems are changing, including the natural resources and agri- culture on which humanity depends. The 2018 intergovernmental report on climate change estimated that arXiv:1906.05433v1 [cs.CY] 10 Jun 2019 the world will face catastrophic consequences unless global greenhouse gas emissions are eliminated within thirty years [4].
