Our colleague Kenneth Cosgrove of the Government Department was in Taiwan teaching at Tamkang University which has a partnership agreement with Suffolk.  Here is his news:

I was teaching an intensive class on political marketing at the graduate level at Tamkang University in Taipei, Taiwan. I arrived there on the 1st of March and was in Taiwan until the 18th. The students had to do research, write papers, take a test and make oral presentations. Topics included branding, segmentation, market research, targeting, narrowcasting and an overall examination of the impact of consumerism on democratic values.
