全学自由研究ゼミナール (Forensics of Violence: Whose Violence, Whose Justice?)
Forensics of Violence: Whose Violence, Whose Justice?
This course investigates how violence - colonial, gendered, sexual, bordered, epistemic, genocide, political conflict - is produced, remembered, litigated and contested across the global landscape. Anchored in decolonial theory and practice, students will critically examine how coloniality shapes violence, notions of justice and transformation. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from forensic psychology and critical psychology, feminist and decolonial studies, the course encourages students to engage in both analytical and creative 'decolonial investigations' that reimagine justice and repair/ transformation.
<<Learning Goals>>
●Critically analyse how coloniality structures violence, trauma, and justice across regions.
●Employ decolonial and global perspectives to critically interrogate violence and modalities of healing justice in Japan, Asia, and broader transnational contexts.
●Engage with feminist, Indigenous, and Global Majority perspectives on justice, gender, and repair.
●Develop and present a decolonial investigation project combining theory, ethics, and creative praxis.
●Enhance students’ confidence and fluency in oral academic communication in English through participatory and intellectually engaging discussions.
