Emerging Business Models in Cyber Civilization
We will be exploring fundamental mechanisms that are creating new trends (such as sharing services and trust based business models) in the economy and society. We believe that emerging information technologies are changing the foundations of today's society and thereby changing the way societies (including businesses) function. We might call it emergence of a new civilization. The way businesses are organized, the way we work, and how the wealth is distributed will all have to change. This seminar aspires to understand the nature of the new civilization and envision how businesses (act of sustainable creation of value) will look like in the future.
In order to look into the future, we should also understand how and why the present systems came to be the way they are now. We also need to base our thinking on the realities, rather than fiction. This means we will have to study evidence in the history and the present to find for clues that may indicate our future.
To this goal, the classes will consist of (1) basic training of business including fundamentals of accounting, (2) readings on basics of business, (3) readings/discussions on the emerging character of business in the digital age, and (4) case discussions on various topics.
There will be reading assignments and discussion sessions using selected papers on the relationship between technology and business. In addition to the selected readings, there will be an accounting test each week based on Piper, Mike (2013), “Accounting Made Simple: Accounting Explained in 100 Pages or Less”, Simple Subjects. and Brison, Stuart (スチュアート・ブライソン）(2020), "Introduction to Accounting in English （英語で学ぶ会計入門）," Chuo Keizai（中央経済）.

(2)Children and coaching
(3)Study on women’s sports/LGBTIQ )
(4) Body sensation
(5)Others (further discussion needed)
Frontiers of Public Administration
This seminar aims to pursue the cutting-edge of public administration research. Reading the English literature, students will first learn what cutting-edge public administration research is. Given the literature review, students are asked to select a vital issue with public administration and then develop a research approach toward the issue under the supervision of the instructor.
Another activity of this seminar is fieldwork. Specifically, the seminar engages in Fujisawa City Promotion Project in which the instructor serves as a committee member. It will also implement observations in Yamanashi, Niigata, or Aomori where the population declines.

This seminar focuses on normative themes treated by contemporary philosophical theories.
Please note that this seminar is mainly for advanced students who prepare their graduation project 1 and 2, and who undertake individual research projects.

In August 2019, in conjunction with the establishment of the Social 5.0 Era Learning and Education Laboratory (President: Kan Hiroshi Suzuki) at the SFC Research Institute, we have added to the objectives of the research group the study of "co-education to nurture people who will create a new world" in addition to the conventional "nurturing of social producers who will graduate from modernity and create a new world," and the actual conception, planning, and realization of co-education projects.
Then, in the spring of 2020, as part of a project to make Hagi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture more attractive to the local community, we began to support high school students in their exploratory studies. Specifically, in collaboration with the city's Board of Education and school teachers, we are running inquiry courses for high school students in Hagi and Mitoyo. Through these activities, we are in the process of creating a model case of creating new learning together with the local community and schools in order to nurture the "creative power" of students, who are the leaders of the future. In addition, there are plans to collaborate with the Niseko City Board of Education in Hokkaido.
As we move forward in the midst of such a period of change, we are now conducting a special research project in Hokkaido, with the aim of pursuing, practicing, and collaborating on further possibilities for inquiry-based learning with the local community.
