In this class, in the first half of the class, you will learn both "thinking technique" and "collaborating technique" based on some issues (future themes). From the middle of the class to the latter half of the class, we will take on the challenge of developing and implementing future product development and building a sustainable business model with Fujiyoshida City in Yamanashi Prefecture in mind.
Interviews and dialogues in magazines and newspapers do not actually translate what you are talking about. There is a lot of "processing (editing)" done there. Each of them is packed with the idea of making the articles of editors, reporters, and writers more interesting and the technology to make the sentences "more readable". In this class, you will learn how to write "sentences that people will read" through actual editing work. From blogs to novels, we aim to inspire people who want to improve their writing. Keep an editor in yourself. That will dramatically improve your original writing. That is the purpose of the lesson.
The purpose of this course is to acquire basic knowledge and skills in Japanese "science writing". Specifically, reading and interpreting information on science and technology, which is the conduct of humankind, and describing it in a simpler way.
The 20th century was called “the century of science”. Remarkable advances in science and technology have contributed to making human life richer and more comfortable. The following 21st century is sometimes called the “century of life science” due to the rapid progress in the elucidation of life phenomena along with genome decoding.
Our lives are influenced by the benefits of science and technology, but their knowledge has increased dramatically and their specialization has made it difficult for non-experts to understand. Consequently, “Science writing” is becoming increasingly important.

Have you ever heard of "Oral History"? It is a method of recording the memories of politicians, entrepreneurs, artists, parents, children, and even family members by listening to their experiences and perceptions. This may sound like a conventional method of gathering materials. That is true, of course, but there is more to it than that.
Oral history is not just about acquiring the "facts" of someone's story. When you take the time to "hear" or "listen," the structure of an issue that was previously unseen opens up before your eyes, and you gain a new understanding. However, without the ability to listen, oral history is not possible. And developing your listening skills will also help you develop your imaginative and writing skills.
Therefore, this workshop aims to do two things. First, to conduct an oral history and to grasp the skills of listening and logical organization. Second, by using the premise of your own research project as the subject matter, you will build the foundation and basis for your future research. These are the two main goals of this workshop. If this workshop can be a big step forward in your research and practice, there is no better outcome than that.

In this lecture, students will practice how to write and structure academic papers in the humanities and social sciences in preparation for writing their graduation thesis. Learn how to decide on a research topic, how to search for prior research and necessary literature, how to structure a paper, and how to annotate and cite. Ultimately, the aim is to write a paper of approximately 10,000 to 20,000 characters in Japanese as a result of the practical training.
In this course, students will practice writing academic research papers in the humanities and social sciences. Students will learn how to write an academic paper, including how to decide on a theme, how to make an interim presentation, how to search for previous literatures, and how to structure a paper. In the end, each student is expected to write a research paper of about 20,000 characters in Japnaese. Students who wish to participate in the seminar with Prof. Oguma are required to take this course.
With the recent development of omics measurement techniques, such as transcriptome, proteome and metabolome, comprehensive molecular information can be observed. In addition to statistical analysis, sophisticated data analysis is required to understand these data. In this course, various data analysis techniques will be explained with hands-on training.

In this class, students will learn the theory and techniques of "observation," "sketching," and "drawing." These are the skills needed for design.
The design includes the actions of finding (observing) problems, devising (interpreting) solutions, and materializing (expressing). Hand-drawn sketches include these actions.
Today, sensing, modeling, and rendering technologies using digital devices have advanced and become widespread. But it is crucial to practice observing and expressing with the body in real space to master digital technology.
This lesson is an introductory lesson for beginners who want to move into some design area, and it is intended for those who have no experience in sketching or drawing. Students will learn the process and theory of observing a landscape, thinking about its form, structure, meaning, and expressing it in pictures and figures.
This class is also related to the course offered in the fall semester with the same title. Both have the same aim of observation and expression, but the faculty member in charge is different, and the viewpoints of theory and the tools are different. Taking both courses together is recommended.
How did Japan became modern? Japan was barely able to maintain its independence around middle of the 19th century, but only 50 years later, it gained the a position and reputation as one of the great powers of the world. After a bitter defeat in WW2, it rose to the top of the world economy after only a 30-year effort.
This “success story” impresses people who have been interested in Japan’s way of development, and sometimes those with an interest in Japanese culture. It is hard for both Japanese and others to answer the question “What’s Japan?” ,. We should take the opportunity to ruminate on the past, the present, and the future of “Japan”.
Spatial thinking is based on a constructive amalgam of three elements: concepts of geographic space, tools of representation, and processes of reasoning. It depends on the understanding of meanings of geographic space and the use of properties as a vehicle for structuring problems, for finding answers, and for expressing solutions. To think spatially entails knowing about
# space,
# representation,
# reasoning; and
# making decisions with spatial understandings.
The goal of this course will learn principles of spatial thinking for students to
# foster in the mind of thinking spatially,
# act in a spatially informed way, and
# adopt a critical stance in their own studies and research projects by using geographic information tools.

Learn the English proficiency required to prepare legal documents and contracts, and understand the legal system in Japan. We also plan to invite active lawyers with overseas qualifications (for example, the United States) as guest speakers, depending on the progress. In addition, regarding the implementation method of this course, I am planning to hold online and face-to-face roughly every other week, but I will inform you of the details in the first class.

- There are various social problems in the world, and governments implement various policies in response to them. On the other hand, if we take a step back, conceptually, the government sector is necessary because of 'market failures', and the role of the private sector, including third sectors such as NPOs, is increasing because of 'government failure'.
- As a result, the relationship between the government sector and the private sector on individual social issues has gone beyond the simple picture of 'policy makers' and 'policy receivers' and has developed into a complex relationship. Therefore, even if one's own job is not as a public servant but as an employee of a large company, a start-up entrepreneur or a social entrepreneur, many people can be central actors of public policy, not only as the demand side of public policies but also as the supply side responsible for solving social problems.
- This lecture focuses on the process of policy formation, evaluation and revision that is required to become a central actor of such public policy.
This public policy course provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis of public finance, focusing on both expenditure and revenue analysis. Students will gain a deep understanding of the interplay between national and local public finances, exploring the intricate relationship between central and local governments. The course equips students with the analytical tools needed to comprehensively evaluate the Japanese economy from various perspectives, ultimately preparing them to engage in current policy discussions in Japan.
