[#3: Geopolitics & Society] No to War in East Asia! Hsinyen Lai: Taiwanese Political Science Lecturer in Scotland, Taiwanese Upbringing, China-Taiwan & Middle Eastern Conflicts, Youth Education & Homesickness

  • Summary

  • Hsinyen is Taiwanese, born and raised in Taipei. After studying Political Science and Arabic in Taiwan, he moved to Scotland 12 years ago to obtain his PhD in Politics from the University of Edinburgh. He is currently a member of the Foreign Policy Analysis Research Network in Edinburgh and teaches Middle Eastern International Relations at the University of St Andrews. Hsinyen is a proud father of two Scottish-Taiwanese boys and he is also a coach and an MVP baseball player at the Tayport Baseball Team in Scotland (yes, Scotland has baseball too!).

    Hsinyen and I had a truly enjoyable conversation. We discussed his journey from Taiwan to Scotland, geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and East Asia, family and youth education, as well as homesickness. It was an honest, reflective, and thought-provoking episode.
