Challenging the social determinants of health
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. Some researches show that the social determinants can be more important than health care or lifestyle choices in influencing health. We welcome students who value an inclusive society and community for health and wellbeing of individuals.
The restriction of on- and off-campus activities due to COVID-19 may continue this semester. However, each study group will deepen discussions on their own topic and if it's possible, they will conduct some field research.
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.
Theory and Practice of Health Communication
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.

Game Theory and Mathmatical Methods for Economic Theory
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 continue to read an intermediate textbook on game theory. At the same time, we will also read a mathematics side-reader for economic theory to help understand the textbook.
I hope to encourage competition among the participants of my seminar and build a tense relationship to work hard together.

Exploring the power of place
We are always in communication. Understanding the notion of communication is to think about when, where, and with whom we get together, and what and how we talk to each other. In other words, an interest in communication inevitably leads to an interest in "place" and "place-making. In this Kenkyukai, we are conducting practical research on the "movement (mobility)" of people, the nature of "places" where people gather, and "place-making" from the perspective of communication and media studies.

Effective Platform Design for Community Innovation
We look at specific measures related to how effective platforms are designed in the context of community innovation. The platform is defined as, “tool and mechanism that serve as the basis for communication, which promotes cooperation when various constituents are cooperating.” If the design is carried out effectively, the platform has potential power to form connections between diverse constituents such as people and groups and bring about emergence based on interaction.
Action Research and Project Based Learning are partially incorporated in order to create practical wisdom.

Study of the Psychological Development of Children
Childhood, especially the first three years are critical for the psychological development of children. Young children form their attachment with their caregiver during that time, which is the basis of personality development.
Caregiver-child communication and development of sense of self is closely related to this process.
The developmental theories are derived both from adult psychoanalysis and direct observation of caregiver-infant.
Study on mental health
Ages of the university students are the final step of the adolescent psycho-social development, or so-called Moratorium years. There are many mental problems characteristic to this years, such as dependence-independence conflicts.
There are also some problems unique to SFC, such as overuse of internet, or internet addict.
We want to analyze current mental status of university students, find problems and try to solve them.
Some deal with mental health at large, not limited to students.
