第一次寫百科，發現是一種很精要的文獻回顧。我寫「餐廳」這個主題，還放入臺菜餐廳的研究。

編輯團隊都是食物和農業領域的大人物，多年來我都他們的讀者，終於有機會跟他們並列一下。

This is my first time writing an entry for encyclopedia, and I've found it to be a very concise literature review. I'm writing on the topic of "restaurants" and also included research on Taiwanese restaurants.

The editorial team are all prominent figures in the food and agriculture fields. I've been their reader for years, and finally, I have the opportunity to be listed alongside them.

很榮幸獲得聯合國社會團結經濟工作組，以波多黎各女權和經濟改革倡議者Anna Maria O’Neil為名的最佳論文獎。台灣不是聯合國會員，但是台灣的組織行動和研究可以得到聯合國研究單位的認可，而在國際合作社年拿到這個獎，這對我意義非凡。特別感謝主婦聯盟消費合作社的合作。

I am honored to receive the best paper award from the United Nations Task Force on Social Solidarity Economy, named after Anna Maria O’Neil, a Puerto Rican feminist and economic reform advocate. Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, but Taiwan’s organizational actions and research can be recognized by the United Nations research unit. Moreover, receiving this award in the International Year of Cooperatives very meaningful to me. Special thanks to the cooperation of the Homemakers’ Union Consumer Cooperative.

榮幸受邀參加103屆合作事業研討會，發表「制定一個循環經濟：合作社的永續消費行動」，我分享主婦聯盟消費合作社如何透過一連串專案，從永續消費實踐，逐步建構一個從回收、收集、運輸到再製造的循環經濟。更可貴的是，這個案例讓我和看到合作社如何成為公民行動實驗室（citizen action lab)，讓合作社內部辯論，並和市場行動者、研究機構和政府官員合作，在經濟模式上也在政策上「做實驗」。這個研究成果馬上就要到國際合作社聯盟的年會發表，在聯合國合作社年分享台灣經驗！

I was honored to be invited to participate in the 113rd Developement of Cooperatives Seminar and gave a speech on "Developing a Circular Economy: Sustainable Consumption Actions of Cooperatives". I shared how Taiwan Homemakers United Consumers Co-op has gradually built a circular economy from sustainable consumption practices, recycling, collection, transportation to remanufacturing through a series of projects. 

More importantly, this case allowed me to see how cooperatives can become citizen action labs, allowing cooperatives to debate internally and collaborate with market actors, research institutions and government to "do experiments " in economic models and policies. 

This research result will soon be published at the annual meeting of the International Cooperative Alliance, sharing Taiwan's experience in the United Nations Cooperative Year!

這次我和學生一起到新加坡國立大學的亞洲研究，我有一場主持，一場報告，學生第一次用英文發表蚵仔的研究，緊張但是很順利的完成哦。這次見了老朋友、認識新朋友，一起吃美食，聊學術也聊生活。

This time I went to the Asian Research Institute of National University of Singapore with my student. I hosted a panel and gave a presentation. My student present his study of oyster in English for the first time. He was nervous but completed smoothly. This time I also met old friends, made new friends, enjoied delicious food together, and had a talk about academic and life.

(Sorry Anita, the picture have to be in square, so the wedsite make me cut you off.)

即使喉嚨沙啞，我仍然早上衝過群山，直奔埔里藍城，聽了橫跨越南、泰國、加拿大和埔里的故事。怎麼繞都繞回「家」。第一次幾乎沒聲音作訪談，一次兩人。受訪的老師說「你們做研究不錯欸，可以到處聽各種故事」。

Even though my sound was hoarse, I still rushed through the mountains in the morning and went straight to Lancheng, Puli, to listen the stories across Vietnam, Thailand, Canada and Puli. First time having interview with two people once a time but without voice. The interviewee said "Doing research sounds like a great thing because you can listen very kinds of stories".

在歐洲社會學年會，同場發表有一篇跟我題目很像，研究義大利的家屋，做得比我好很多。作者來信邀我加入《義大利社會學評論》學術委員會。

我發現義大利也是由國家機構作期刊評比，作為升等和博士班設立的指標，主要也是評人文社會領域。所以這本可以說是issci哈哈。

In ESA conference, a presentation of home of Italy was simalar to mine, but better. The speaker mail me an invitation to join Scientific Committee of Italian Sociological Review.

I found the ranking of journals of Humanities and Social Sciences, as the standard of faculty promotion and doctoral program establishment,  was run by national academy in Italy. So this journal is "ISSCI", like "TSSCI".

睽違多年，再度參加歐洲社會學年會。我發表了新研究assembling a new home的初步發現，和新朋友一起吃晚宴。此外，我找期刊和出版社討論可能的出版方向，並且在論壇和會員大會和老朋友打招呼。

After many years, I once again participated in the Conference of European Sociological Association. I published the preliminary findings of new research, Assembling a new home, and dinner with new friends. In addition, I discussed possible publishing directions with journal committee member and publisher, and greeted old friends at forums and membership meeting.

這次我受邀到宗教博物館舉辦的第18屆「回佛對談」，和媒體人、實踐者和道士討論「與自然共存的生活方式」。我很好奇宗教團體會怎麼看待永續消費。第一次到宗教博物館，發現是個有趣的地方。

This time, I was invited to the 18th "Dialogue with the Buddha" hosted by the Museum of World Religions, where I discussed "Ways of Living in Harmony with Nature" with media professionals, practitioners, and Taoist priests. I'm curious about how religious groups view sustainable consumption. It was my first time visiting the Museum of World Religions, and I found it to be an interesting place.

與談影片精選（Highlight）： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X-C7-r8dLw

三年前的「百年大旱」每天看鯉魚潭水位和降雨量，當時台中市自來水「供五停二」，我還特地買了水桶儲水。這讓我想起小時候住在管線末端，少年時期住在沒有自來水的山區生活，因此去年就把這樣的經驗寫成了研究計畫。很開心一次通過三年期的計畫喔！本計畫將研究日常用水、基礎設施和自然環境，三者間的互動。

Three years ago, during the “century drought,” I would check the water level of Liyutan Reservoir and rainfall every day. At that time, the water supply of Taichung City followed a "five days on, two days off" schedule, and I even bought water barrels to store water. This reminded me of my childhood, living at the end of the water pipeline, and later, as a teenager, living in a mountain area without tap water. Because of this, I wrote a research proposal last year based on these experiences. I’m thrilled that the three-year project got approved in one go! This project will explore the interaction between daily water use, infrastructure, and the natural environment.
