The International Conference “Dickinson and Ecologies” will be held at National Chengchi University (NCCU) in 2025.
National Chengchi University is located in the picturesque Wenshan District of Taipei, surrounded by abundant greenery, which is directly relevant to our conference topic — “Dickinson and Ecologies”. Nearby, you’ll discover the mesmerizing “Maokong,” which can allow you to escape into the nature, and savor traditional tea culture while enjoying panoramic views of the Taipei City.

Even the most casual perusal of the lush terrain must engage those long horizontal lines of evergreen tea shrubs stacked one upon the other across multitudinous inclines of deep-green foliage. If one hikes up one of the numerous trails to Daoist temple or peak, one is sure to see how intricate drainage and engineering structures have reshaped the landscape to make the ground resilient to landslides. In short, Wenshan is a site in which civilization and wilderness overlap in obvious and not so obvious ways. The literary quality of the mountains denotes, therefore, the careful cultivation that the human hand exerts upon its surroundings. Yet Wenshan’s mountains are still wild and thankfully so. Clans of monkeys roam the trees. Snakes seek to warm themselves when unobserved by human eyes. Thousands of species engage in their own time-honored traditions, building communities that overlap only occasionally with the human order ever-seeking to impress itself in tea, rice, architecture, and commerce.

Moreover, the campus is near by “Shenkeng Old Street”, where conference attendees can savor authentic Taiwanese street food and explore traditional crafts during your visit to Taiwan, especially stinky tofu. “Taipei Zoo” is another prominent attraction that is easily accessible from National Chengchi University, allowing you to witness a diverse range of animals and immerse yourself in the nature. Additionally, the nearby “Zhinan Temple” (or Chih Nan Temple) offers a serene sanctuary where worship with the Immortals of Daoism — Lu Dongbin, providing an opportunity for you to experience Taiwan’s traditional temple culture. .

與EDIS所合辦的Dickinson and Ecologies 國際會議將在2025年於國立政治大學舉行。
國立政治大學位於台北市文山區，周圍綠樹成蔭，正好與會議的主題 “生態(Ecologies)”不謀而合。 而位於周邊的「貓空」正是能讓您逃離城市喧囂、眺望市景並享受傳統的茶文化的地方。(撰寫自鄭知宜)
即使是隨意的瀏覽風景，您也必定會被那些橫向延伸的茶樹叢給吸引，它們在眾多的山坡上層層堆疊，形成壯觀的景象。 如若您沿著小徑徒步前往道觀或山峰，您也必然會發現複雜的排水和工程結構是如何重新塑造地形，使地面能夠抵禦山體滑坡。 簡而言之，文山是一個文明與荒野以明顯或不明顯的方式交匯的地方。 因此，山的文學品質象徵著人類在大自然中細心培育的成果。 然而，文山仍舊保持野生的狀態，例如你能看見猴群在樹林裡遊蕩、蛇會在人類注意不到的地方尋求溫暖，而這正是值得慶幸的地方。 數以萬計的物種都在遵循著自己悠久的傳統，它們所建立的群落僅在某些時刻與人類的秩序交錯，而這種秩序一直試圖在茶、米、建築和商業中彰顯自身。(撰寫自John Corrigan教授)
此外，「深坑老街」亦處於學校附近，與會者可以在來台間隙品嚐正宗的街頭美食–臭豆腐，並探索傳統工藝。而「台北動物園」為文山區另一個著名景點。在這裡，您能親眼目睹各種動物並沉浸於大自然之中。除此之外，與會者也能前往位處於文山區的「指南宮」–其主祀為八仙中的呂仙賓，體驗台灣傳統的廟宇文化。(撰寫自鄭知宜)
