This seminar aims to get students to more deeply understand labor policies, characteristics of Japanese employment system and work style reform, as well as to consider how they will work, live and make the society better through group-work, presentations, discussions, debate etc.

This research project focuses on Cyber-Law issues. Network-related legal issues arise in a variety of new ways which are not covered within the current legal systems. This project aims to explore what kind of problems and issues will arise on networks and what kind of responses are needed, focusing on the legal aspects through case studies. Research will also focus on emerging technological developments and legal issues, such as the research and development of robotics, AI and cyber-physical systems (CPS), and examine the issues necessary for their implementation in our society.

The theme of this study group is "listening" or "hearing". Have you ever felt that the textual data and numerical data that have been used as materials for research up to now are somehow stiff, dry, and unsatisfactory? Especially in research involving people, it is quite natural to want something that feels the temperature of people.
Therefore, we have started a research group to consider and practice "talking" and "listening," which are very simple but realistic tasks based on communication, in order to open up research and the unknown.

How much do we understand about the country we live in? In my interactions with political scientists and scholars of Japan from around the world, I am often asked, "Why is Japan's politics so stable while the rest of the world is facing democratic difficulties? After the "lost 20 years" since 1993, and the two governmental changes in 2009 and 2012, the shape of Japanese politics has changed dramatically. However, there are still many challenges. It can be said that there is a need to understand and communicate this intrinsically. What can we learn from Japanese politics, how can we change it, and how can we communicate it to the world?
When we think about the state of Japanese politics and diplomacy (modern and contemporary) in this way, we naturally need to have a basic knowledge and understanding of its structure. However, how much of this intellectual foundation is shared? If the necessary foundations are neglected, all the hard work that has gone into the creation process may be lost. It goes without saying that it is necessary to acquire a foothold and stance to think and judge for oneself, rather than using borrowed understanding and convenient data.
Therefore, this seminar will take Japanese politics and diplomacy as its subject, with the goal of systematically understanding the structure of the problems that appear in it. We will use excellent texts in political science and history as a starting point for discussions on the background, institutions, and personalities, in order to gain a foundation for our own thinking. Students will then engage in a series of exercises to analyze and communicate their findings based on a systematic understanding, and refine their ability to think and discuss Japanese politics and diplomacy in your own words.

What sort of society do you aspire to?

This Kenkyukai ”Practice of health communication" is for students　who want to take actions for a better community or an inclusive society where each person can achieve a healthy and happy state of health (well-being). The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors such as the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, that influence health outcomes. We welcome students who value an inclusive society and community for health and wellbeing of individuals.
Each study group will deepen discussions on their own topic and conduct field activities. Some examples of issues carried out in the past were; "Wellbeing of the elderly in the community", "Improving learning environment for long-term hospitalized children", "Improving recruitment of donors for bone marrow transplants". Students who are interested in such topics are welcome. The seminar is open for diverse people but strong comittment is required.

What sort of society do you aspire to?

This Kenkyukai (seminar) is for studentswho want to think about the form of a community where each person can achieve a healthy and happy state of health (well-being), and who want to implement practices aimed at realizing an inclusive society. This is a place for discussion while working hard together. The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors such as the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, that influence health outcomes. We welcome students who value an inclusive society and community for health and wellbeing of individuals.
Each study group will deepen discussions on their own topic and conduct field activities. Some examples of issues carried out in the past were; "Wellbeing of the elderly in the community", "Diversity and Inclusion in the campus and community", "Gender and sexuality studies", "Improving learning environment for long-term hospitalized children", "Improving recruitment of donors for bone marrow transplants". Students who are interested in such topics are welcome. The seminar is open for diverse people but strong comittment is required.

This Kenkyukai (seminar) focuses on people and communities. We integrate various social science approaches, and conducts research to solve problems surrounding healthcare. In this Kenkyukai "Theory and Practice of Health Communication," you will learn about "health communication," which is the theory and practices of communication to enhance health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

Communication as a means of helping people live healthier lives has been developing dynamically, incorporating new media and methods in response to social demands in each country. For example, many people today with serious health challenges often have multiple social, economic, and environmental challenges. In order to solve such health issues, it is not enough to simply convey the correct knowledge (evidence) to the person concerned, but it is also necessary to encourage the people around the person concerned, and even develop policies to change the social environment. It is also necessary to emphasize the importance of the issue to stakeholders such as those in charge.
　
In the seminar, students will learn the basic theories and concepts for effective health and medical communication, as well as how to turn practice into research, along with practical examples. We also plan to have external instructors who are practicing outstanding health communication in society. We welcome those who are interested in medicine, public health, and health/medical policy, and who are willing to learn strategies, skills, methods, and approaches to understanding and collaborating with diverse actors to solve human health problems.

In our Kenkyukai, students will play leading roles in planning and facilitating each session. Students will be required to read materials and prepare for the discussion. Foreign students are welcome but need to have basic Japanese communication skills. We use a textbook written in Japanese but for those who need some assistance, the professor will introduce relevant reading materials written in English.

　This research group will be promoted in two courses, in which members will work to foster the ability to realize “social innovation”" by learning and teaching each other. Participants in this research group are expected to attend one of the two courses.

Course A: Social Marketing and Value Co-Creation
　Course A of this research group will focus on "marketing" as an approach to promote “social innovation”. In other words, Course A will explore what kind of "marketing (i.e., market making)" is needed to realize “social innovation”.
　The word "marketing" is "market+ing (= market making)," which means creating a market (= a place where various values are created and satisfaction is provided to the people involved through various interactions and relationship building) and making it function sustainably (ing = ongoing tense). This is the meaning of "to create a place where various values are created and satisfaction is provided to the people involved. In other words, it can be said to be a sustainable process that creates value through the creation of various relationships, achieves the objectives of each of the parties involved, and promotes mutual satisfaction.
　In this Course A, each student will set his/her own theme and undertake his/her own research project (survey and research activities) while exploring the state-of-the-art of "social marketing" and organizing the required theories, concepts, and methods. Specifically, while continuing to learn about theories, concepts, and methods that they should be aware of, they will research the goods, things, services, and places that can be found in various practical examples, and in the spring semester, they will create "social marketing products" as a team, and in the fall semester, they will undertake "research projects (surveys and research activities)" that will produce results on an individual basis. In the fall semester, students work on "research projects (surveys and research activities)" that produce results on an individual basis.
Course B: Social Production and Co-education
　Course B is designed for those who are already planning policies and strategies, launching and preparing specific projects, or working on further improvement and evolution of projects already in progress in order to promote “social innovation”".
　Wellbeing, education (as broad as education, including inquiry learning, digital education, citizenship education, STEAM, global education, leadership education, etc.), science and technology innovation, sports, culture, theater, medicine, life sciences, information, intelligent information society, local development, community development, food, agriculture, Expo, Well-Being Commons Creation, Community Currency, etc.
