Volunteer Activities for Cybercrime Prevention
This seminar will be centered on the Cyber Workshop, a volunteer activity in which members of this seminar teach elementary, junior high and high school students on the safety use of Internet and SNS.
Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the workshops as well as regular seminar activities .
Public Safety Policy
This seminar is designed to identify various issues and problems related to public safety, i.e. crime prevention, organized crime, cybercrime, terrorism, stalking, domestic violence, child abuse, child delinquency etc., and to explore, together with members of this seminar, effective policies and solutions to deal with them. The purpose of this seminar is to deepen understandings through reading basic reference materials and making presentations among students.
Digital Policy and Media Use
In recent years, the development of information and communication technologies such as Internet, mobile phone and IoT has promoted information access and made our life more convenient. What makes today's information and communication social infrastructure so developed is the formulation and implementation of digital policies over the years.
This seminar will extensively discuss the latest topics of digital society and digital policy, such as the use examples of the 5th Generation Mobile Communication System(5G), metaverse. We will also think about policy-making processes and media industry issues in East Asia, including Japan, China, Taiwan and South Korea.

x-Music
What is music? What kind of music should we create and express to the world? In this
"x-Music" seminar, we will explore the value and potential of music and try to create the next music that has yet to be named (= x-Music). We will create the "x-Music" from the following perspectives.
NeuroMusic
We research Neurosciences and Music (NeuroMusic) to understand why music is so fundamental to humans. We believe that music can be a prove to identify higher-order brain functions such as skilled motor control and learning, perception, cognition, memory, emotion and creativity in humans. We aim to clarify the origin of our musicality in the brain to augment the possibility of music for harmonious future.
Interests in the Neurosciences of Music has grown rapidly over the last few decades. However, there has been almost no laboratory for this field in Japan, despite a growing recognition of the need to understand the neural origin of our musicality. The NeuroMusicLab at Keio SFC (The Neurosciences and Music Laboratory at Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus) was founded by Dr. Shinya Fujii to address this need.
CompMusic: Comparative and computational musicology
AIM: The aim of the CompMusic Lab is to break new ground in the science of the world's music, with a particular emphasis on comparative and/or computational methods. Each week a different lab member will present their original research projects and/or lead workshops on methods relevant to our research.

Data science and society
Under the theme of "Data Science and Society," this workshop aims to deepen students' understanding of evidence-based problem solving by using data science methods to address social issues of interest to them.
In the workshop, we will mainly have readings and exercises to learn statistical analysis methods, and individual research presentations by the students.
Creating a learning community that promotes Plurilingualism.
One continuing unresolved issue affecting foreign language education in Japan is the fact that learners experience limited exposure to the target languages they are supposed to be learning. As a result, the learning process becomes more difficult and many learners experience difficulties maintaining their motivation. This problem is particularly evident among intermediate level learners who could benefit from language-learning environments that provide exposure and opportunities to try and test newly acquired expressions and knowledge. Several questions emerge. For example, what are the basic elements necessary for creating learning communities where foreign language learners can experience exposure to the languages they learn? Another question is, what can be done to help learners re-discover the enjoyment of learning as they did when they started? Furthermore, another question considers whether it is possible to integrate individual learning with other socially accepted fun activities? Finally, one last question invites analysis of the feasibility and limitations associated with introducing practical “Cooperative Learning Projects” into the curriculum.
This seminar (Kenkyu-kai) focuses on foreign language education and the creation of efficient learning communities. Part of our study involves looking at successful learning communities where foreign language learners experience intercultural communication based on the promotion of Plurilingualism. We conduct several observations on current projects and analyze them from two perspectives: realism and sustainability. Consequently, we conduct analysis and discussions on the feasibility of transforming language learning communities into realistic projects.

Biology is rapidly transforming into a data-driven science. Key to this new paradigm is in the high-throughput, quantitative, and comprehensive measurement of biological phenomenon, and statistics and informatics techniques to extract novel biological insights from the large-scale data.
In this research group, we synergistically combine experiments, measurements, and informatics to gain quantitative understanding of living systems.

Judiciary as Justice
This course is designed to assist students to understand Judicial Precedents.
Emerging Business Models in Cyber Civilization
We will be exploring fundamental mechanisms that are creating new trends (such as sharing services and trust based business models) in the economy and society. We believe that emerging information technologies are changing the foundations of today's society and thereby changing the way societies (including businesses) function. We might call it emergence of a new civilization. The way businesses are organized, the way we work, and how the wealth is distributed will all have to change. This seminar aspires to understand the nature of the new civilization and envision how businesses (act of sustainable creation of value) will look like in the future. In order to look into the future, we should also understand how and why the present systems came to be the way they are now. We also need to base our thinking on the realities, rather than fiction. This means we will have to study evidence in the history and the present to find for clues that may indicate our future. To this goal, the classes will consist of (1) basic training of business including fundamentals of accounting, (2) readings on basics of business, (3) readings/discussions on the emerging character of business in the digital age, and (4) case discussions on various topics. There will be reading assignments and discussion sessions using selected papers on the relationship between technology and business. In addition to the selected readings, there will be an accounting test each week based on Piper, Mike (2013), “Accounting Made Simple: Accounting Explained in 100 Pages or Less”, Simple Subjects. Intend to offer the class on-campus while making sure students can participate all classes on-line (live) as well. Occasional teaching on-demand conceivable when the instructor has to be away for Vice President duties. A few new students will be admitted for the Fall 2022 semester. Students who received A or above in the Management of Emerging Business will be given preferential consideration. Please note that Kenkyu-kai (2) is similar in topic but will be in Japanese and the majority of reading will be different. Students will be allowed to take both depending of the availability of open slots.

Symbiosis Project with Muslim
The aim of the seminar is to deepen the understanding of Islam in Japanese society and to implement projects aimed at coexistence with Muslims living in Japan and those visiting Japan as tourists.
Currently, the number of Muslims in the world is about 1.6 billion, and one out of every four people in the world is a Muslim, and the population is increasing. The number of Muslims living in Japan to study or to work and the number of Muslims visiting Japan for sightseeing are also increasing year by year. On the other hand, the image of Islam in Japan is not always good, and Japanese people do not fully understand Islam. In this seminar, students will deepen the understanding of the teachings of Islam and the religious practices of Muslims through literature reading, while conducting fieldwork and joint projects to build a network with Muslims living in Japan, connect Japanese society and Muslims, and consider new forms of coexistence in Japan.
