“After working hard as a part-time lecturer in Tainan, I was finally appointed to the permanent staff at the Graduate Institute of Museology, Tainan National University of the Arts. I am very grateful to have this job opportunity, as a lectureship in a national university is not easy in Taiwan now. However, I really miss St Andrews and hope to visit the School again soon.”
