Health communication is the study and practice of communicating promotional health information, such as in public health campaigns, health education, and communication between doctor and patient.
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.

The area covered by this seminar is general administrative law. It covers not only the problems related to administrative case litigation and the theory of administrative law, but also the latest problems related to administrative systems and policy making.
If necessary, we may invite some experts as guest speaker. And if the conditions are met, we are also considering making policies regarding local governments in Japan at this seminar.
Depending on your wishes, you can select a wide range of research subjects in general law, so please consult with me. Court tours are also under consideration depending on the number of people and requests.

Legal issues relating to 'Cyber-Law and Information Law', dealing with network and legal issues in the information society, and 'Robot Law', relating to AI and robots, are arising in various new problems which cannot be covered by the existing legal framework. This research project will focus on the legal aspects, using case studies to discuss what kind of issues should be considered and what kind of responses are expected to solve such issues.

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.

This seminar will help students to deepen understanding about recent various global economic issues. The first half will focus on students' presentation on short articles and discussions, as well as debate. The topics will depend on the content of articles published at around the seminar period. The past seminar covered climate change, SDGs, debt problems in developing countries, Covid-19 crisis, monetary policy, monetary-fiscal policy coordination, , ESG investment, US economic policy under Mr. Biden, Japan's economy and aging, China's economy, Japan's economy and aging, digital assets, etc. The second half will concentrate on students' presentation on the term paper and discussions.

This course is designed to instruct students who wish to write their papers on Legal Policies.

This course is designed to assist students to understand Judicial Precedents.

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.

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.

In our Kenkyukai, members discuss how a community should be for every and each person to achieve a healthy and happy life and a state of wellbeing. We aspire to practice toward the realization of an inclusive society. 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 parent-child relationships, mental health, sex and gender, and end-of-life. In addition to these topics, making connection and creating community in the post-corona era is important thus, students who are interested in such topics are also welcome. We are open for the diversity.

In recent years, we have not only read in detail textbooks dealing with the social choice theory and the application of game theory to public choice, but also examined the decision analysis beyond "rational choice", for example, the Gilboa's decision theory. In this semester, we will read a research book on social choice theory.

I hope to encourage competition among the participants of my seminar and build a tense relationship to work hard together.

　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.

　This seminar will focus on "marketing" as an approach to promoting "social innovation”. In other words, this workshop will explore what "marketing" is to realize "social innovation".

　The word "marketing" is "market+ing," meaning "to create a market (i.e., a place where various values are created and satisfaction is provided to those involved through various interactions and relationship building)" and "to make it function sustainably (ing = ongoing)”. In other words, it can be said to be a continuous process of creating value through the creation of various relationships, achieving the objectives of each of the parties involved, and enhancing mutual satisfaction.

　In this seminar, we will explore the state-of-the-art of "social marketing" and organize the theories, concepts, and methods that are required, while each participant will set a theme and undertake a "research project. Specifically, while continuing to learn about the 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 then work as a team to create a "social marketing product" in the spring semester and individually on a "research project" to produce results in the fall semester. In the fall semester, students will work on individual "research projects" that will produce results.
