We will learn about various aspects of modern Korean society through Korean literature, especially newspaper articles and magazine articles. Using living Korean textbooks, we will learn about representative issues related to Korean history, politics, economy, and society. I would like to start "researching South Korea" using Korean literature.

This class is aimed at intermediate and advanced learners of Korean. In class, we will use Korean short stories as teaching materials to organize grammatical matters and vocabulary, and think about literary expressions.

Korean is one of the easiest language for Japanese speakers to learn(and vice versa). There are many reasons: (1) same word order, (2) grammatical similarity, (3) a number of kanji words shared in Japanese and Korean, (4) cultural similarity. It takes relatively short time from zero to fluency.

In order to utilize full potential of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for promoting economic growth and addressing various social issues, we need to take various steps such as expansion of infrastructure and building capacity of human and society to be ready to use ICTs, in addition to research and development of technologies. Policy intervention is necessary as these goals are hard to accomplish, if solely relying on market competition. Understanding such policies required to support technology will be helpful to predict and take advantage of social dynamics related to new digital products and services that are emerging now and will emerge in the coming future.
In the first stage of this course, explanation will be provided on importance of social expansion of ICTs, mainly focusing on network technologies such as the Internet. Basic knowledge required to understand relevant policies will be also introduced.
Then the course will pick up specific case studies for each sort of ICT policy practices, to discuss how that policy making was triggered and what impacts the policy brought about, with viewpoints of international comparison. In addition, students will be invited to participate in more active discussion on certain topic on future policy direction, which will be shown later in the course.

In this lecture, data security will be explained from a conceptual, technical, operational and policy perspective. The concept section provides the value of data and the concepts of security goals such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The technical section focus on cryptographic theory and key management and deepen the understanding of the basic technical terms and their understanding. The operation section provides actual examples in public systems, financial systems and control systems, which are examples of social implementation of data security. The policy section provides an overview of the latest status regarding data security in Japan, the United States, and Europe.

Amid the emergence of new forms of expression using various digital technologies, media art expression has attracted particular attention.

This lecture will focus on three main topics:
Reconfirming the position and significance of media art
Reviewing past works
Creating actual media art artistic expressions
As for the technology to realize the expression, we will pay particular attention to machine learning and AI technology. After reviewing the context of existing works, each participant will work on their own work.

Humans began with Art. The process naturally emerged, when we created classifications in our minds, embraced feelings, or named objects. Words, letters, constellations, name of the newborn, cave murals.. Art is at the origin of human intellectual and emotional activities, and therefore the world we perceive is the Art itself.

The lecture will focus on the interpretation of Art through the ‘input of knowledge’ and ‘output of emotions’, embracing a multilateral viewpoint of the subject. To deepen the understanding of Contemporary Art and stimulate creativity, the class consists of three parts: 1) Lecture, 2) Discussion, and 3) Training. In the lectures, we will focus on cultural sciences such as metaphysics, linguistics, semiotics, psychology, etc., and examine the relationship between 'expression' and 'conceptualization'. Students will be encouraged to discuss the topic, and become familiar with communication through dialogue. In addition, as an exercise in improvisational thinking, students will be given a pop-quiz related to the context of the lecture, to be presented in the class.

I believe that actual practice is the fastest way to learn about Art. Therefore, the final assignment will be creating your own Artwork. The final deliverable can be in any style, media, and technique, along with conceptual text explaining the work. By confronting Art from the perspective of the creator, my aim is to have students discover their own view of Art and acquire the ability to express their inner-voice. I hope that the Artistic-Thinking gained in this lecture will provide hints for living actively in the times of uncertainty.

This research project focuses on the technologies and societies basis on the internet.

In the technology side, we are implementing and demonstrating for the application and development of protocols and systems, for exsample, Communication System, Distributed Computing Environment, Web Architecture, Sensor Networking Technologies, Big Data System, Internet of Things and Future Internet Technologies.

In the social side, we are discussing the new rules for AI era as well as considering "How to create the future society" through internet researches and practicing the ideas.

This research project is cooperating with the class of postgraduate cource (Mobile wide area network), various labs in SFC laboratory (ex. Internet Research Laboratory, Auto-ID Laboratory, etc...), global standarization body (ex. IETF, W3C, ISO, etc...) and companies or other universities domestically and overseas.
