Public Safety Policy
This seminar is designed to explore with students the location of problems and effective policies to deal with various issues related to public safety. For example, stalking, domestic violence, child abuse, juvenile delinquency, crime prevention, terrorism, organized crime, cybercrime, etc. The purpose of this seminar is to deepen the understanding of various issues related to social safety by reading basic literature and making presentations by students.
International relations, international security and contemporary European politics.
This seminar, conducted in English, focuses on international relations, international security and contemporary European politics.
Contemporary European Politics and International Security Studies
This seminar explores contemporary European politics and international security - particularly trying to "understand international security (and interntional politics) through Europe" and "understand Europe through international security (and international politics)." Everything will be conducted in Japanese.
Coaching and life skills
From the psychological perspective, this course will explore how to establish better relationships among athletes for the sake of performance-enhancing and seeking the victories. Sports enable people not only to motivate gaining the victories, but also to bring up their own humanities.
Arab Cultural Studies Lab
Arab Cultural Studies Lab aims to deepen our understanding of the contemporary Arab society by studying the language and culture of Arab countries. Also we try to find a point of contact between the Japanese society and the Arab society, and promote the activities that will build a bridge between them.
Mobility and society
We will engage in empirical and quantitative research on the following research themes: advanced mobility technologies and society, such as automated driving and drones; new social infrastructure development using IoT, such as smart cities, smart mobility, and smart tourism; and integrated mobility services, such as MaaS.
Data science and society
Under the theme of "Data Science and Society," this workshop aims to deepen students' understanding of evidence-based problem solving by using data science methods to address social issues of interest to them.
In the workshop, we will mainly have readings and exercises to learn statistical analysis methods, and individual research presentations by the students.
German Studies
This seminar is targeted at those who are learning and have learnt German and are interested in the society, culture and history of the German-speaking areas.
Rethinking the Modern Family
Nowadays the problems related to the functions of family and their solutions are widely discussed in Japan. As a background of such a situation, we may point out that the traditional gender division of labour, 'men work, while women stay at home', still exists. When and how was it established? Such family form is called the 'modern family'. What kind of influence has the 'modern family' had on not only the institutions and policies but also behavioural norms and lives of the people? This seminar is targeted at those who want to explore the answers of these questions by relating the declining birthrate and aging population in methods for historical or sociological research.
Music science journal club
In this seminar, we will learn about the latest advances in music science by reading and discussing a different recent original research article every week. Half of the articles will be ones published by other labs, while half will be manuscripts published or near publication by our own CompMusic and NeuroMusic labs. Students will help Prof. Savage and Prof. Fujii choose articles and will take turn leading discussion of articles. Several times we will invite authors of the articles to give evening guest lectures. At the end of the semester all students will present their own original research projects.
Touch Lab 2: Touch Science
The objective of this research lab is to analyze haptic phenomena in daily life.
In 2020-2022, we have learned basic statistics and multivariate analysis. Based on this background, we would like to conduct research projects on a group basis. Senior students are supposed to lead a project, and junior students would support the research project (but junior students can add some of the research items in the main project).
Machine learning
We read the following books.
Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction by Kevin Patrick Murphy. MIT Press, February 2022.
Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 3/E (CS:APP3e) by Randal E. Bryant and David R. O'Hallaron.

Clinical philosophy on education of foreign language
Multilingual and Multicultural Society / Japanese Language
The main topic of this KENKYUKAI is examining Japanese language and culture toward multilingual and multicultural inclusive society.
Intercultural Communication -A critical perspective
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 research/project on related topics to assigned literature or graduate thesis.
Seminar on International Economy and Finance
This seminar will help students to deepen understanding about recent various global economic issues. The first half will focus on students' presentation on short articles and discussions, as well as debate. The topics will depend on the content of articles published at around the seminar period. The past seminar covered climate change, SDGs, debt problems in developing countries, Covid-19 crisis, monetary policy, monetary-fiscal policy coordination, , ESG investment, US economic policy under Mr. Biden, Japan's economy and aging, China's economy, Japan's economy and aging, digital assets, etc. The second half will concentrate on students' presentation on the term paper and discussions.
Seminar on International Economy and Finance
The GIGA seminar will focus on various economic issues. It consists of two parts. The first half will be based on reading short articles on various economics-related issues and students' presentation and discussions. The topics depends on the availability of latest articles. The past seminars covered digital assets, CBDC, climate change, carbon pricing, digital tax, COVID-19 pandemic, debt problems in emerging market economies, poverty and inequality, China's economy, monetary policy, financial and capital markets, and DX and digitalization etc. Also, the seminar may have a debate on the hot global issues (for example, President Biden's economic policies were discussed in 2021). The second half will be based on students' presentation on the term paper and preparing the paper on the topics chosen by students.
Landscape studies
This seminar concentrates on landscape studies. In Japan, landscape sometimes means only visible features of an area of land, but invisible factors, such as historical background, natural and social environment, and so on, are critical. Students can approach everything related to the landscape. This seminar's keywords are below; ecology, city and rural planning, garden and park, urban green space, civil vitalization, land-use change, environmental education, reconstruction in the disaster field, disaster prevention, and land use plan in a river basin. All students have their own themes. Some students hold a presentation in each class. If you require to join a project, please see the syllabus of the seminar "Green Infrastructure." In this seminar, we will also emphasize discussion of the presentations. In addition, this seminar requires students to read a lot of articles and books.
