海洋にかかわる国際法上の問題は、日本の対外関係および国際法実務において重要なものとなっている。そこで、本授業では、海洋にかかわる国際法制度の全体的な枠組について理解を深めることを目的とする。その検討のための具体例として、領海警備、大陸棚延長と境界画定、資源探査や科学調査を含めた海洋調査規制など、近年、日本との関連で実際に懸案となっている諸事象をとりあげて考察する予定である。 担当者によるリレー講義（オンライン）の形式で進める。質疑応答を通じて、多様な参加者とのディスカッションを取り入れる。学際海洋教育プログラム科目の一つである。

広く産学官にわたってグローバルに活躍するために必要な「俯瞰力」を養成することを目指す。物質科学の各分野について最先端の知識を修得し、自分の専門分野と周辺分野がどのように関連するか、あるいはし得るか、について深く考察するために、第一線で活躍する講師の方々にその分野の最前線を概観していただく。さらに、それらの講義を通して異分野間のコミュニケーションを円滑に進めるための具体的方法論を学ぶ。 This survey course is designed to enable students to develop the broad perspective that is required of global leaders working in and across industry, academia, and government. Students will gain knowledge and insight on advancements in each field of materials science research, given by leading researchers working on the frontline in those fields. This will allow students to consider how peripheral fields are related to their own area of expertise, and to consider the potential for forging bridges between related fields in the future. In addition, students will learn specific methodologies designed to facilitate smooth communication among different disciplines.

We will reveal the history of modern Japan through various images and historical documents. Students are expected to complete a few group projects to deepen their understanding of the content covered in the course. This intensive course will take place in February (usually over 5 days). Details will be announced in December-January via email/portal site system. 歴史を描いたイメージを通して日本が近代国家に変容する姿を明らかにします。学生は授業で扱う内容を深めるためにグループプロジェクトを行います。使用言語は英語ですので、日本人学生にとっては英語によるディスカッション、文献購読、ライティング力の強化のためにいい機会となります。授業は２月に開講されます（約5日の集中講義）。詳細は12~1月頃にポータルサイトを通してお知らせする予定です。

The purpose of this graduate course is to discuss Sustainability Science from Japanese perspectives showcasing various topics related to sustainability in Japan and other countries. Topics include natural disaster mitigation, aging society, biodiversity conservation, food security, pollution control, etc. Natural disasters, for example, are indispensable features to discuss human survival and sustainability, however, they are not fully elucidated in the context of Sustainability Science. Also, Japan is the first country in the 100,000 years of human history that is facing super-aging society. Japan’s experience in these fields should have great implications to disaster prone countries, rapidly aging countries and the emerging discipline of Sustainability Science. The course will also endeavor to add new implications to relatively more established academic fields like nature conservation, food policy, and coastal engineering by elucidating Japanese cases to expand the discourses of sustainable development in general. Nature conservation, for example, is largely expanding its scope in line with the notions of biodiversity, climate change and sustainable development. To protect the biodiversity and to achieve sustainable society, conventional conservation approach is not enough, and we need to include “people” in the policy and planning of protected areas. Understanding the diverse values towards sustainability is also a key component of this lecture course. Based on each local context, e.g. religion, culture, norms, history, geography, demography, polity, available resources and technology, possible solution and shape of governance would dramatically change. The students will be able to deepen the understanding of Sustainability Science by connecting this lecture course with the other compulsory lecture course “Proactive Environmental Studies I” which aims to teach the basics of Sustainability Science.

Familiarize yourself with historical and current definitions of “material culture,” "monument,” and “memorial," both locally and globally. Evaluate current debates around controversial monuments and memorials, as a way to reflect on political, social, and racial justice movements around the world. Practice analyzing “material culture texts” in order to determine the author’s perspective, intended message, rhetorical features, and audience reception. Practice ethnographic research through direct observation and analysis of local monuments and memorials. Practice academic writing, presentation, and discussion in English. Collaborate with other students through group discussion and reflection in English.

In this course, students learn about STS (Science, Technology and Society) through case studies. What is this called science? How can we manage the conflicts between S&T and Society? Who are the experts? These questions appear in various issues around us, such as the pandemic of COVID-19, environmental problems, disasters, and emerging technologies. In this course, we learn about, and discuss cases from STS perspectives. Students are required to do their own case analysis in their final report.
