Development The Graduate Institute of Taiwan History (GITH) was founded on August 1st, 2004 in accordance with the National Significant Culture Policy. The faculty of the GITH includes five full-time professors and nine part-time professors. Associate Professor Chih-Hao CHEN now serves as the Director. The research and teaching of the GITH emphasizes on Regional Studies, Social and Cultural History, Paleo-History, and Economic History of Taiwan, etc. It’s hoped that these areas would cultivate students’ understanding of the dynamic and multidimensional development of Taiwan history. We also place a strong emphasis on the historical theory, literature, historical materials, as well as the fieldwork.
