Overview of the Podcast

In this podcast, we hosted Professor Pan Mei-Lin from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University alongside Dr. Gyal Lo, a Tibetan activist, educational sociologist, and preeminent authority on China’s assimilation and education policies in Tibet. They engaged in a comprehensive discussion regarding China’s educational development policies in Tibet and its implications for the future of Tibetan society and identity. The podcast comprises two episodes. The first episode explores Dr. Gyal Lo’s journey to becoming an educational sociologist, the historical context of the traditional Tibetan education system, and its transformation following the establishment of Chinese rule in Tibet. The second episode examines the development of the education system under President Xi Jinping’s leadership, with both experts critically analyzing the recent emergence of colonial boarding schools in Tibet.

在本期播客中，我們邀請了國立陽明交通大學人文社會科學系潘美玲教授和西藏活動家、教育社會學家、中國西藏同化和教育政策的權威專家 Gyal Lo 博士。他們就中國在西藏的教育發展政策及其對西藏社會和認同的未來的影響進行了全面的討論。該播客包含兩集。第一集探討了傑洛博士成為教育社會學家的歷程、傳統西藏教育體系的歷史背景以及中國統治西藏後教育體系的轉變。第二集探討了習近平主席領導下的教育體系的發展，兩位專家批判性地分析了西藏最近出現的殖民寄宿學校。
