Detail

Course Summary

Although Aynu peoples are officially recognised as indigenous peoples of Japan, there are still few academic spaces where students can research on the Aynu language and culture. In this seminar, we learn the Aynu language, realise field visits to Hokkaido, and learn from (and engage in) the efforts to revitalise the language, and delve in to the world of Aynu culture -- centered on kamuy-human relationships -- through their oral narratives. All students participating in this research seminar will learn the language, but their personal research projects can span other topics in humanities and social sciences. We welcome students interested in fieldwork-based social science and humanities, language revitalisation, and literary studies.
