族群所簡介About
族群關係與文化研究所隨1995年國立東華大學建校始設立招收第一屆碩士班研究生，並於1999年開設在職專班，提供在職人士專業進修並取得碩士學位的機會。設所以來除了開設相關課程，展開研究工作外，亦推動原住民民族學院的終身教育工作，並積極規劃與籌備原住民民族學院的設置。2001年8月，本校原住民民族學院成立，族群所同時由人文社會科學學院改隸於原住民民族學院。有鑑於國內族群相關高等研究人才的需求性，本所於 2005年成立博士班培育「族群文化研究」之學術人才。自99學年度（2010）起，本所與民族文化學系正式合併為「族群關係與文化學系」（含學士班、碩士班、碩專班、博士班），專任教師計有正教授兩名、副教授四名、助理教授六名，以及專案教師一名，共十三名。
族群所綜合文化人類學、族群社會學、文化研究等社會人文知識，以跨學科的學術眼界專注於各族群的文化及族群關係，包括民族教育、性別與文化、族群生態與環境、宗教、社會階層、原住民藝術、多元社會服務、文化展演、文化產業、文化管理、文化經濟等議題。本所作為教學與研究團隊，從學理與實務雙管齊下，協助台灣多族群社會建立有系統的研究，在台灣學術界和全球華人地區，均具有先見、創導性的學術地位。
The Graduate Institute of Ethnic Relations and Cultures opened its doors to graduate students in 1995, with a continuing education master’s degree program established in 1999. Since 2001 the Graduate Institute of Ethnic Relations and Cultures has been an integral part of the College of Indigenous Studies, and in 2005 we admitted our first Ph.D. students.
Our program is dedicated to promoting scholarship in collaboration with Taiwan’s diverse Aborigine communities, as well as indigenous communities around the world. The Graduate Institute of Ethnic Relations and Cultures is affiliated with the Department of Indigenous Cultures, the two programs sharing the same world-class faculty. Our professors have degrees in political science, anthropology, sociology, history, art history, ethnomusicology, and performance studies from some of the world’s top universities.
The Graduate Institute of Ethnic Relations and Cultures promotes research in a wide variety of subject areas, including: anthropology of education, gender relations, environmental studies, linguistic anthropology, anthropology of religion, human rights, Aborigine art, performance studies, ethnographic filmmaking, etc.
As of June 2006, over 128 students have received their graduate degree with the Graduate Institute of Ethnic Relations and Cultures. Some have gone on to pursue doctoral degrees in Taiwan as well as overseas, while others have performed admirably in their chosen profession. Over the years many of our student’s thesis have won awards recognizing their academic contribution.
