院成立於民國44年,歷經50餘年的銳意發展,目前設有國文、英文、歷史、地理、臺文等5個學系、翻譯和臺灣史2個獨立所,以及全球華人寫作中心和國際臺灣學研究中心。除臺史所僅設碩士班,其餘6個系所均設有碩、博士班;目前專兼任教師近250人,學生約2500餘人。

本院早期以培養優秀中學國文、英文、歷史和地理教師為鵠的,臺灣中學語文和史地教育的實踐與成功,本院提供不可磨滅的貢獻。近年來,本院隨師範體系轉型而調整發展方向,除維持中學師資培育的優勢外,也積極朝理論研究和實務操作等面向前進。目前,本院各系所師培生的教師檢定通過率平均在95%以上;非師培生在文化、傳播、文學、應用史學及環境災害、地理資訊系統等領域發展,也已卓然有成。

本院各系所教師的研究能量極為豐富,參與國內外學術活動相當活躍。根據論文數量、引用次數等指標所作的學術力評比,本院居人文領域全國第2名。各系所之間,無論是教師的教學與研究,或學生的生活與學習,都能相輔相成、榮辱與共,彼此渾然一體,足堪「為師、為範」而無愧。

    The Stagnation and Transcendence of the Queer Patriarchy: Truman Capote's Other Voices, Other Rooms
    (英語學系, 2021-03-??) Yen-Lian Liu
    Truman Capote's Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948) centers upon an effeminate teenager, Joel Harrison Knox, who believes that the reappearance of his supposedly aristocratic father will grant him a paternal legacy in accordance with white Southern norms. However, what awaits Joel is a mansion in decay, ruled by an openly-homosexual and manipulative cousin, Randolph. Most importantly, the father turns out to be in a bed-ridden, vegetative state, which drives Joel to map out his uncertain future in this queerly-occupied household. The term “queerness” here, besides its original meanings of "oddity" or "strangeness," also denotes the "non-(hetero)normative" identifications employed in gender displays. But there is another dimension of the novel'squeerness often neglected by critics—namely, the non-normativity with a heterosexual and/or patriarchal mindset. This article contends that the two male heirs to the mansion, Joel and Randolph, exist in a condition of suspension between deviance from the Southern norms and adherence to the same norms, specifically male dominance and/or white supremacy, thus embodying what I call the "queer patriarchy" in the novel. The article also discusses the potential for Joel, in contrast to Randolph, to establish a renewed sense of his male queerness that transcends the patriarchal norms of the South.
