It is undeniable that Japan’s modern culture was shaped by the Meiji government’s policy of Westernization. Western thoughts and practices were introduced as essential elements of Japan’s modernization and have been incorporated into the very foundations of the state such as the legal system or education against any possible resistance. This particular historical background has greatly influenced how foreign culture is received in Japan.
From the Meiji era until today, it is clear that much of the cultural products we encounter in our daily lives originate in the West. However, to us, these cultural elements are no longer a product of “others”. Bach or Mozart, jazz or rock. These are part of the cultural environment in which we were raised and are undoubtedly part of “our culture”.
By considering specific genres, this lecture raises the question of how Western culture, such as music, literature or the performing arts were received in Japan and how they were incorporated into our educational canon.

Students learn the relationship between human life and the environment in urban areas. Environmental problems have become more severe in the history. Notably, the population in urban areas increased dramatically, and urban environmental problems had to be resolved in many ways after industrial evolution. Open space and urban greenery have played a significant role in human life. At the end of the class, students consider sustainable urban living in the future.
There is common difficulties and challenge in design of artifact today.Product design, Architecture design and Environmental design have to be situated in a context logicaly with both intuitive sense and rational methodology to creat it . By investigationg and about relationship between design and information technologies from many aspects, this subject will become more scientific and promising.
Espacially, when a media to connect reality and design is sifting towards data repreesentation, it became possible to be computationally processed, shared, and simulated. We start taking advantages of very compricated status of geometry with an algorithmto adapt functional requirements of different environmental factors such as structure, sound, heat, light energy etc .
Furthermore it will became more comprehensive issue for us when it is connected to the technology of manufacture and construction, and continuous autonimity of atifact such as Io. Students of this class will learn hulistic idea of cognitive, philosophical, tectonic, socio-cultural factor of influence in current information technologies to human attitude of creation.
Design maintaining nature capital and conserving ecosystem service is necessary for sustainable development in both urban and rural area, also natural reserve. The design with nature using ecosystem services wisely is called as ecological design. In the class students study concepts of ecological design, spacial planning, natural and living materials for design, nature restoration, and monitoring methods through a whole process of project. Students should understand natural processes, and basic concepts and methods of ecological design in the class. There will be lectures including guest ones, fieldworks and group works. Also, there should be some reports during and after a class.
We require to conduct many surveys for special planning and designing. Especially, surveys of organisms become more important because nature and biodiversity conservation is necessary for sustainable development. Students will learn many kinds of field surveys based on knowledges of ecology. All field surveys should be conduct on SFC. Students will learn how to use a topographical map, how to find a plant species in a plant guide, plant, bird, insect surveys and so on. After the surveys students will learn the methods of analysis. The goal is to understand the methods, identify the species and analyze data through lectures and field works.
This course provides the effective coaching methods which make better human relationships between the coaches and the athletes, and among the team mates to enhance the quality of the performance on each field.

For the sake of making good learning effects, class members will be active participants of every activity such like discussions, group works, and so fourth.
In this course, the fundamental principle, theory, methods required to pursue research in information and network field are lectured. By taking this course, students acquire the fundamental theory and technique required in the focused area.
In each week, we will invite IAB scientists, Keio Ph. D students as well as two or three guest speakers, and discuss each topic provided by the speakers. Through this class, students aim to establish their “conceptual frameworks” in modern biology: strategy and the strategic way of thinking.
This course aims to understand the most advanced researches of the Graduate Project on Global Governance and Regional Governance (GR).
In this course, faculty members of GR project and guest speakers will have lectures on advanced research in each research field. This course will cover very wide aspects such as disciplines, research methods, approaches and many regions; and such knowledge would be helpful for policy making and finding resolutions of complicated problems.
GR students are strongly recommended to attend, but students from other projects are also welcome.
The aim of this course is to learn the basics and strategies of case study research. This course is designed for those students who would like to conduct researches in the fields of Social Sciences. Students will learn by reading text books and earlier studies, discussion, group work and presentation.Preparation for the lectures and submission of reports are aquired.
The goal of the course are to learn skills of designing case study research, critical reading of research and to improve quality of one's research design.
Seven teachers from CB program take charge in this course.
Hamada coordinate the course and other teachers give two classes of lectures, workshops or groupworks to introduce advanced research method of their professional area.
