Scotland Meets Taiwan in Tâigael: Free Church, Goddess of Saliva & More | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

A taciturn woman named Free Church disrupts a warm Scottish celebration, while a Taiwanese goddess unsettles an entire village with her sudden disappearance. These stories reveal both the distance between Scotland and Taiwan and the shared struggles of preserving (and letting go of) estranged cultural norms, languages, and identities once deeply felt as one’s own. In the second part of our conversation, Will Buckingham takes us from Dundee to Tainan, a migration that inspired ‘Tâigael'. 📚 Tâigael: Stories from Taiwanese & Gaelic (eds.

The Stories of Tâigael: Four Languages, Two Countries, One Book (ft. Will Buckingham) | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

Tâigael is a groundbreaking book linking two distant worlds — Taiwan and Scotland. It features four original stories written in native tongues, translated across four languages and five scripts, brought together by two British publishers based in Tainan. The book’s co-editor, Will Buckingham, joins us to share how the idea came to life, why its Tâigí stories use two different writing systems, and how only a Taiwanese-sourced font could make the book’s design possible. 📚 Find the book and enjoy free audio stories at taigael.com [http://taigael.com/] 📚 Tâigael: Stories from Taiwanese & Gaelic (eds.

“Should I Jump Into the Sea Then?”: What Recognising Indigenous Land Really Means | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

Do young people really want to talk about decolonisation — or are they too tired to care? Lahok Ciwko reflects on uncomfortable truths about the microaggressions, racism, and everyday prejudice Indigenous people still face in Taiwan. He shares what it means to “check your privilege”, why laughing off racist jokes isn’t always healing, and why recognising Indigenous land isn’t about guilt — it’s about respect and responsibility.
