This academic project focus on community-based solution development in a field of human services, such as healthcare, well-being and welfare, disaster management,sport organization, etc. Students will learn theory and concepts of community, and extensive empirical studies, which they have been conducting. The project involves lots of discussion and readings.
‘Embodiment Design’ Program
In our highly information-oriented and established world we are forced to live in an environment where time, space and human activities are all over scale in our daily lives. In this current society where people depend on extremely complicated systems which are beyond our control, we face many problems which stem from this situation.
Regarding the level of anonymity the current internet society allows, and lack of awareness of murders without experience of death in people’s lives and so on, it has been long since we started to discuss the necessity of reestablishing actual relationships between ‘ourself’ and the environment around us.
In order to understand the tendency of putting responsibility to others in this contemporary society, and respond to the problem directly, it is necessary to understand the consciousness of the people who the problems stem from. It is necessary to comprehend your body and soul well, to know your capacity with which you can do or cannot do, to establish your own way to solve problems, and to create human relationships matching your lifestyle.
To aim to establish a society where people understand themselves well and understand each other, it is necessary to reconfirm how people relate to their environment by redefining their ‘body’ in any field. To understand one's own body and mind well, to know the limits of one's ability to do what one can or cannot do by oneself, to acquire one's own solutions, and to build human relationships that are suited to one's own stature. In this way, in order to build a society as a rich human group made up of people who understand themselves, it is necessary to go back to the human 'body' and re-examine the relationship between humans and the environment that surrounds them in all fields. We propose an approach to this end in the form of embodied design.
In the globalizing and Informatization, To build the global governance to realize the world peace and prosperity is necessary in this changing world. This project will try to find the way of the resolution by using "Area Studies" for making clear the various issues in the real world.
Our basic functions such as thinking, feeling, learning, sensing, and moving are outcomes of neural interactions between the brain and body. This would lead us to know that neuroscience is the essential way to understand humans.
In this "Academic Project", we try to obtain methodologies for understanding neural mechanisms of our behaviors such as medicine, sports, music, cultural activities, and economical activities, and to promote logical thinkings.
In principle, students from the Advanced Bioscience Research group or Master course students belonging to the Biological Study Group should take both Advanced life science A and B. Both are carried out in parallel, so please be sure to take both courses.
The purpose of this class was to acquire presentation skills suitable for master's graduates and a wide range of knowledge beyond the field related to life science and to strengthen collaboration laterally among bio-based Master course students. Through this process, all the participants deepen their knowledge and create a situation where they can work toward their respective research with a sense of unity.
Assuming a network environment, the reorganization of various aspects of our "movement" is in progress. In social media, location information and information such as behavioral trajectories and access history are being utilized, which is transforming our communication and human relationships.
This project is based on the perspective of "mobile method" proposed by Buscher, Urry, Witchger et al. (2011) and the trend of "locative media" research (for example, Wilken & Goggin, 2014). It attempts to connect social studies of "movement" of things, information, ideas, and design research of social fabrication.
In this project, based on geography and sociology, we understand the diverse "life documents" that people continue to generate (sometimes inevitably) in their daily lives. Then explore research methodologies and research designs.
In 2022, we will look into SFC and the surrounding area. Located on a remote land far from the city center, SFC is a facility that forces us to "move" and is suitable for that quest. COVID-19 pandemic severely restricted our movement, but it also showed the diverse possibilities of working and living. We will explore the possibilities of the campus and surrounding areas.
The first class will be held on campus (SFC, Docomo House on Oct. 6th 14:45).

This project proceeds in collaboration with the "Mobile Methods (Practice)" held separately. While "Mobile Methods (theory)" focuses mainly on theoretical research such as methodological development, study, and research design through literature and case studies, "Mobile Methods (practice)" seeks to apply knowledge. By actually repeating production, installation, and operation, "Mobile Methods (theory)" is practically complemented. Students are required to register for these two projects.

Projects in the age of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) require the bird’s eye view capability and the multifaceted approach that can accept diversity high-level ability to exploit an abduction based on fundamental research with the robust aspiration and deep-rooted philosophy. We will establish an Academic Project who has accumulated expertise in science, technology, and policy through our social system concept and aims to establish shared values for society.
Computers are very widely used these days by everyone, but many computer systems are still hard to use because the user interface is not sophisticated enough. In this class, we pick up various aspects of current user interface systems and discuss research topics and future trends.
On the relationship between globalism and nationalism, some argue that it is confrontational, while others say that it is compatible. The former basically assumes that globalism leads to homogenization of the world while nationalism demands protection of national culture and national interest. By contrast, the latter emphasizes that both globalism and nationalism mean homogenization of culture and local society. According to this view, globalism and nationalism are complementary.
Our basic viewpoint is that globalism should not be considered as an alternative of nationalism or localism, since their relationship could be either confrontational or cooperative. By examining the roles of nation states, civil societies and communities in various areas in the world, this seminar seeks to examine the complex interactions between globalism, nationalism and localism.
All students are required to read the required readings, participate in class discussions and present their own research proposals or results. GRADES will be based on the class participation and the term reports.
The main purpose of this academic project is to build a new approach to “security,” thruough a variety of perspectives. Given the development of artificial intelligence (AI), drone technology and big data science, our conception of security is undergoing a major change. At the same time, the cross-domain and multi-domain nature of security is also becoming more evident, encompassing the nuclear, conventional, space and cyber domains. How we can build a bridge bwtween the traditional and emerging areas of security studies is also something we would like to explore in this project.

Along with sensors and actuators, computers are becoming embedded in the environment. As a result, artificial objects are becoming identical to natural objects, and computers start to control the real world. In recent years, rapid progress in computer science has been driven by theory and data. We are exploring (1) new theories based on neuroscience and natural computation, and (2) ultra-large-scale data processing techniques to make these advances.
