In this powerful episode, I sit down with a retired Atayal teacher from Taiwan to explore her perspective on corporal punishment through the lens of Indigenous values and lived experience. As a proud member of the Atayal people, one of Taiwan’s major Indigenous groups, she reflects on how discipline, respect, and teaching have evolved in her community — and why she believes certain traditional practices must be reexamined.We discuss:Her background as a lifelong educator in rural TaiwanThe cultural meaning of discipline in Atayal traditionsHer views on the impact of corporal punishment on children todayHow Indigenous and modern values intersect in classroomsThis episode is part of my ongoing series comparing disciplinary practices across cultures, with a focus on education, child welfare, and cultural preservation.📍 Recorded in Taiwan as part of my field research on corporal punishment and Indigenous education.👇 Subscribe for more cross-cultural stories and insights from educators, scholars, and communities around the world.#CorporalPunishment #Atayal #TaiwanIndigenous #Education #Podcast #CulturalAnthropology #ChildWelfare #IndigenousVoices
