Politics and Diplomacy in Japan
English Version is to be announced.
Being destined to keep traveling into an unknown future, we must clearly design the ideal future that we want to establish.
Throughout this course, we will keep discussing what the ideal future should be. Referring to such a future, we will search for issues that society is currently facing and explore a solution that will lead to a robust design to develop the ideal future.
In order to enhance the problem-solving skills, students will be asked to develop concrete proposals based on their own observations of the real world, using several social projects in the areas of life, health, and medicine as reference cases.
Examining Brexit: Britain, Europe and the World
The United Kingdom left the European union at the end of January 2020, as a result of the referendum result in favour of Brexit in June 2016. During the Transition Period until December 2020, the two parties negotiated a free trade agreement (FTA) and other institutional arrangements. With the conclusion of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) between the EU and the UK, the process of Brexit finally came to be completed. Negotiating Brexit with the EU and building a consensus within the country, however, proved to be much more difficult than many Brexiteers had expected. The purpose of this course is to explore the problems that the process of Britain's leaving the EU has raised and put Brexit in a wider context of the EU and the World.
This course aims to learn regional studies of the former USSR/ CIS focusing on the strategic topics. Please keep in mind that this course will be mainly related to the affairs of former USSR / CIS and those with Europe. This course will be composed by lecturers, discussions, and presentations by students. Student’s active participations are required. I would like to include the student’s interests into the lectures, so the requests are always welcome.
All students must attend at the first class, because we will decide the schedule of the personal presentation and I would like hear the student’s interests. In addition, I would like to deal with the new movement in the region and the world, so the syllabus would be changed flexibly according to explain the new situations.

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.
