Specifically, I am interested in the role of museums in the representation of Indigenous peoples in Taiwan and the extent to which museums are able and willing to engage in both historical and contemporary Indigenous politics. Therefore, in my PhD thesis, I wish to establish how museums in Taiwan engage with Indigenous peoples in the context of understanding the museum as a political space and a political organisation. I will look not only at the leading museums but also local cultural centres. I will also examine representations in different platforms or through different ways.
