OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Receptivity to Different Types of Migrants in Taiwan: Civic Behavior and Support for Same-sex Marriage as Novel Correlates
In an era of rising global intra-regional migration, in-depth explorations of attitudes toward immigrants and immigration (ATII) in emerging migrant-hosting societies in Asia are scarce. Using Taiwan as a case of an emerging non-Western, democratic migrant-hosting context with a racially homogeneous population, aging social structure, and vibrant civic culture, this study examines the receptivity to three major migrant types: foreign professionals, marriage immigrants, and migrant workers. In this talk, I show how this study moves beyond traditional ATII research and argue that receptivity serves as a more accurate conceptual tool to address the general public’s perceptions toward immigrants of different categories or groups. It tells a contextualized story of 21st-century Taiwan: how its ethnocentrism is playing out with grassroots civic development and the more liberal end of cultural diversity. The findings on receptivity toward intra-Asia migrants in a 21st-century Asian democracy illuminate possibilities for reinventing theories on the social organization of difference and the socio-cognitive construction of ethnicity, with broader relevance to inter-minority relations among Asians in traditional Western immigrant societies.
