Geography is a study that researche on natural environment and human activities in the space on the earth, which consists of systematic geography and regional geography. In this lecture, we will learn about the latter, explaining current state and problems of “Global Cities” and industrial agglomerations in the global economy. We emphasize learning how to see things geographically, rather than simply memorizing knowledge.

The purpose of this course is to explore the possibilities of new artistic expression based on big data and artificial intelligence in a society where the Internet is a prerequisite.

Daito Manabe, one of Japan's leading media artists, will be invited as a special guest professor, and through a practical classroom format, we will develop and propose short video works or compositional techniques. The class is mainly a workshop format, focusing on the development of ideas and prototypes in group work, scriptwriting and video production through the application of digital technology.

Students give presentations at each stage of the class, and the professors including Daito Manabe, will review and give feedback. So far, we have focused on the digital technologies such as motion capture, electromyography, electroencephalogram, muscle electrical stimulation, and worked on visualization and signification of the data especially focusing on the machine learning programming.

The professors and invited guest speakers will give lectures on how new digital technologies can be disseminated to the world, as well as the possibility and importance of addressing social issues from the perspective of art.

The main topic of this KENKYUKAI is examining Japanese language and culture toward multilingual and multicultural inclusive society.

This seminar aims to explore and examine our intercultural communication from a critical perspective. Culture is in fact influenced by economic and political issues which create unequal relations of power between peoples. Therefore, it is imperative that we understand the politics at work in an intercultural context and develop critical literacy. We will examine intercultural communication throughout reading and discussing a book or some articles. Students will also conduct a project on related topics to assigned literature or graduate thesis.

(This course will be a GIGA-English course for AY2022, and in AY2023 will be offered in Japanese.)

Transcriptome analysis of non-model organisms

One of the essences of AI technology is the automation of intellectual labor. One of the extremes of intellectual labor is natural science research as well as artistic and creative activities. Actually, in the field of advanced scientific research, the rapid spread of information technology and robotics including AI is progressing, and the future image of the progress of scientific research itself being greatly accelerated by AI is coming soon.

In this course, students will learn how AI connected to experimental robots can discover new knowledge through repetitive experiments and hands-on exercises. Using a liquid handling robot that can be controlled using the Python programming language as a course material, students will experience the physicality of robots and how scientific experiments can be automated by robots by running the robot with programs written by the students and by performing the same experiments with their own bodies. In this course, students will learn about the physicality of robots and how scientific experiments can be automated by robots.

Mental health practices face boundaries and intermediates in the following areas: 1) clinical medicine (psychiatry) and social medicine (occupational mental health and school mental health), 2) Individuals and organizations, 3) normal psychology and psychopathology, 4) the ideal and the real, 5) humans and law, 6 ) consciousness and unconsciousness, 7) lecture and practice, 8) generality and specialty. In this course, we will discuss the boundaries and intermediateness that are the characteristics of "practical mental health" through group work, focusing on cases. This course aims to learn to understand the phenomenon of mental health in various fields from a multifaceted and comprehensive perspective.
