  • 2022-10-03 — Announced as 主講人 of the 55th 世界臺灣文化論壇 (held online 2022-10-08): as director of the UCSD Center for Taiwan Studies he spoke on 台灣當代電影「大佛普拉斯」 (黃信堯 director; 2017 金馬獎 five awards) drawing on his then-forthcoming Siting Postcoloniality (Duke UP 2023), with 鄭良光 as 主持人 and 張復聚醫師 and 何信翰教授 as responders (TJJ, 2022-10-03).

  • 2023-02-05 — Wayback snapshot of the taiwanjustice.net 「世界臺灣文化論壇」tag archive lists his lecture 「第55回世界臺灣文化論壇-廖炳惠教授論台灣當代電影『大佛普拉斯』」(2022-10-03) as a dated series entry alongside the forum’s 台語文 and 鄉情文化 sessions — the series index itself confirms his 大佛普拉斯 lecture as part of the ongoing 世界臺灣文化論壇 program line (TJJ tag archive, snapshot 2023-02-05). Note: the quote candidate for this pass is that tag-archive index listing, not his own words, so no Quotes entry was added (DEEPEN-X10130600-6, 2026-10-13).

Vault cross-references (deepen pass 2026-09-14)

  • The cited film-criticism article is mirrored in-vault under its publisher hub |taiwanjustice.net (also recorded as an organization page |Taiwan Justice); his commentary on contemporary Taiwanese cinema is the only authored writing of his cited in the vault, consistent with his comparative-literature chairmanship.

Role in the Community (deepen pass 2026-09-14)

  • Founding director and inaugural Chuan Lyu Endowed Chair (川流講座) in Taiwan Studies, Center for Taiwan Studies, UC San Diego. The center was established through a US$5 million endowed gift by UCSD alumnus Dr. Chiu-Shan Chen (陳秋山, co-founder of Pacific Biosciences, founding chairman of the San Diego Taiwanese American Foundation); its grand opening ceremony took place 2023-05-06. In-vault coverage: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-385|TAH Our Journeys #385 — Grand Opening of the Center for Taiwan Studies at UCSD]] and its Chinese mirror [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/our-journeys-386|TAH Our Journeys #386 — UCSD獲500萬成立台灣研究中心跨學科合作]].
  • Per his own remarks recorded in-vault, the center deliberately includes Taiwanese American history and holdings — much of its early archival material and recordings come from the 台美史料中心 founded by 鄭寶鼎 — and is professionalizing the digitization of volunteer-collected records.
  • His contemporary-Taiwanese-cinema lecture at the 55th 世界臺灣文化論壇 (2022-10-03, 「大佛普拉斯」) is also mirrored in-vault at 第55回世界臺灣文化論壇報導 (same series as the 2023 tag-page citation above).
  • No date or role conflicts found between the TAH #1632 profile and these vault records; nothing merged that required a HOLD.
