Every individual has a “communal life,” therefore each is, according to Jerome Bruner, an “expression of culture.” Good understanding of one individual will give a good glimpse into the community s/he is part of. It is essential for us as researchers to pay close attention closely to what s/he says, how s/he says it, how s/he interacts with us as researchers, and to be able to make sense of the details.
The course aims at providing tools for students who are interested in qualitative research and fieldwork to conduct in-depth interviews and to do narrative analysis that follows. In-class discussions are based on reading materials of narrative, meaning, memory, experience from authors like Daniel Kahneman, Jerome Bruner, Donald Spence, Mary Jo Maynes (et.al) and more.
One of the most frequently used words is "strategy". However, there are cases in which people who are not understanding even from the distinction between strategy and tactics make influential remarks in public places. This course aims to understand the essence of strategic decision making that appears in various fields and to acquire basic ideas useful for problem finding and solving in each area of interest of each student. In addition, we would like to have some useful hints on how to design a system that is preferable from a social point of view in some sense (although it is also a subject of consideration) against such entities that make strategic decision making.
Based on these problem consciousness, we learn the essence of noncooperative game theory which can be applied to each case of individual field such as economy, business, political process, international relations, etc., and also briefly touch on some results of recent experimental economics. In addition, considering why it is difficult to realize desirable policies from a viewpoint of public choice theory, we will examine the theoretical basis on which we make normative judgment with reference to Amartya Sen's normative economics.
The CB course has a variety of research fields. By utilizing this advantage and communicating with professors in the CB course, we hope you to learn various methodology and viewpoints. In this class, professors provide them as omnibus lectures.

A concept is an important tool to organize thoughts, to communicate between people from different areas, to anchor findings when doing research, and to explain the issues. Students can use concepts as tools to do research or examine a concept for their research. The course will go over a number of key concepts of Human Security, such as Poverty, Freedom, and Risk), and other concepts related to important issues in people’s life and everyday life, such as Family, Choices, Losses)
The students are required to actively engage in in-class exercises to practice their conceptual thinking and writing.
Recently, the output of life sciences has been applied to industrial fields such as medial, environmental and food areas. To learn cutting-edge researches, this class will invite scientists and PhD students from various bioscience areas, including bioinformatics, systems biology, genome biology, RNA science, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, molecular evolution, embryology, microbiology, gut microbiota, structural biology, protein engineering, metabolism, genome design, biology, entomology and infectious disease, and present the latest research findings.

(This course is conducted in both English and Japanese. Participating students will use both languages in their class participation and student presentation.)
In this course taught every other year, we will focus on frequently-used methodology(methodologies) of qualitative research to inquire into the themes of language and culture. This year, we will focus on critical discourse analysis, explore its intellectual foundations, and through discuss the possibilities of this methodology applying it to concrete texts. The course will consist of reading seminars where participating students present a summary of the readings with possible discussion topics, followed by discussion in class. Towards the second half of the term, students will also be required to experiment with a short research and present their research result, which will form the basis of their final essay.
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.

In this course taught every other year, we will focus on methodology(methodologies) of qualitative research that serves any inquiry into the themes of language and culture. We will focus on ethnography and the intellectual foundations of this approaches. The course will consist of reading seminars where participating students present a summary of the readings with possible discussion topics, followed by discussion in class. Towards the second half of the term, students will also be required to experiment with a short ethnographic research in educational settings, and present their research result.
