学術フロンティア講義（PEAK)（Introduction to Japan in East Asia）

This course is a lecture series offered by faculty members of the University, and designed to showcase the wide range of research in Japan and/or East Asia. The purpose is to illustrate how fundamental concepts as well as knowledge learned in the junior division can lead to interesting intellectual explorations in the senior division of the PEAK Japan in East Asia Program.

The scheduled twelve lectures are on cultures, societies and histories of Japan and/or East Asia. The lecturers of these classes are involved in three disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences: Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies, Area Studies, and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. The first class includes some guidance with a short lecture.
