The School of Culture Resources at the Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) was established in 2001 as the first academic institution in Taiwan dedicated to the development of cultural resources as its core focus. The school comprises six academic units: the Graduate Institute of Architecture and Cultural Heritage, the Graduate Institute of Arts Administration and Management, the Graduate Institute of Museum Studies, the Graduate Institute of Arts and Humanities Education, the International MA Program in Studies of Arts and Creative Industries, and the Ph.D. Program in Cultural Heritage and Arts Innovation.
With a commitment to cultivating professionals equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in cultural resources, the school emphasizes cultural interpretation, preservation, representation, and the enhancement of creativity. It is dedicated to advancing academic research and promoting social engagement in the field of cultural resources.
The School of Culture Resources at TNUA provides an interdisciplinary and dynamic intellectual environment where cultural heritage, arts management, museum studies, art education, and creative industries intersect. Fellows will benefit from close engagement with faculty members, access to specialised archives and resources, and participation in seminars, workshops, and collaborative research activities. The school also encourages exchange with local cultural institutions, museums, and art organizations, offering opportunities to connect academic research with practice. Through these activities, fellows can explore Taiwan’s rich cultural landscape while contributing to ongoing scholarly and professional dialogues.
We welcome applicants whose research aligns with the school’s focus on cultural resources, broadly defined. Ideal candidates include scholars in fields such as cultural heritage, museum studies, arts administration, cultural policy, creative industries, and arts education. Applicants with an interdisciplinary approach that bridges theory and practice are especially encouraged. Research that engages with issues of preservation, innovation, cultural sustainability, community participation, or global-local cultural exchanges will find strong resonance at TNUA. We particularly value scholars eager to interact with Taiwan’s cultural scene and contribute to comparative or cross-cultural perspectives.
