2025 Joint Annual Meeting of East Asia Medical Anthropology Network (EAMAN) and
Taiwan Society for Medical Anthropology (TSMA)
Cultural Perspectives on Super-Aged
Societies:
Generations, Technology and Care
Time: June
14-15, 2025 (Sat. & Sun.)
Venue: Taipei
Medical University, Taiwan
In 2025, Taiwan and South Korea will become
"super-aged societies." What kind of cultural perspectives can we
rely on to visualize such an epochal encounter in history? For instance, in our
daily language use, "longevity" is completely different from
"aging" in conceptual and practical implications. In addition to such
a necessary caution, are there other culturally prescribed perspectives and
expectations that can inspire us while facing the future?
East Asia is, without a doubt, the most rapidly aging
region in the world. Japan has embraced the challenges of super-aged population
20 years ago and accumulated many valuable experiences and solutions to cope
with them. In this regional context, in 2025, the Taiwan Society for Medical
Anthropology (TSMA) and the East Asian Medical Anthropology Network (EAMAN)
will hold a joint annual meeting. This will also be EAMAN’s first annual
meeting.
We sincerely invite you to join us to discuss
relevant issues and exchange ideas about a pivotal moment of our time.
This annual meeting will have 27 panels and 2
roundtable discussions, and more than 100 papers to be presented. Topics
include indigenous health, mental health, religious and emerging healing
practices, long-term care policies, the situation of migrant care-workers, AI
and medical education, cross-national comparisons and institutional reflections.
The conference will also pay special attention to how care practices are
shaped, transformed and reproduced under the intersection of aging, medical
technology and multiculturalism. It will discuss how care becomes an ethical
action, social relationship and political practice, and explore cross-cultural
care experiences and challenges in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
