ジェンダー平等が世界的潮流となるなか、女性議員割合の世界ランキング上位に権威主義体制の国が多いことを不思議に思ったことはないでしょうか。列国議会同盟(IPU)のランキングによれば、2025年2月現在、下院ベースのランキング1位はルワンダで、キューバ、ニカラグアが続き、5位はアラブ首長国連邦(UAE)となっています。 権威主義体制が、しばしば女性の教育機会やリプロダクティブ・ライツを制限するような政策を行う一方で、ジェンダー・クオータの導入による女性の政治参画や、経済活動におけるジェンダー平等のような政策を推進するのはなぜでしょうか。権威主義体制における女性の政治参画は、女性の実質的代表につながっているのでしょうか。また、政党や市民はどのような認識をもっているのでしょうか。 本演習では、民主主義体制に比べて依然研究の少ない「権威主義体制におけるジェンダーと政治」をテーマに、関連する最新の論文（主に英語、15-20ページ程度）を講読します。主体的な学習を通じて、権威主義体制におけるジェンダー平等政策や女性の政治参画の現状とその歴史的背景、国内・国際政治にかかわる要因、アフリカおよび中東諸国の事例に関する理解を深めることが目標です。

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.

This lecture discusses what kind of design and planning is needed in cities and regions to enhance social, environmental and economic sustainability. The lecture will be divided into three parts, and the three lecturers will talk about the following themes: Toru TERADA (Coordinator of the course, Associate professor, Department of Natural Environmental Studies) Landscape and urban planning for Japanese cities Marcin JARZEBSKI (Project Associate Professor, GPSS) Sustainable society in a changing world Giles SIOEN (Project Lecturer, GPSS) Integrated planning and design for resilient and sustainable development

"The Art of Attention" explores attention as a social, cultural, and personal phenomenon, with a special focus on the concept of Radical Human Attention. Drawing on philosophical, psychological, and sociocultural perspectives, the course examines various attentional practices and their applications in everyday life, art, and social change. 「注意の技法」は、注意を社会的、文化的、個人的な現象として探求し、特にラディカル・ヒューマン・アテンションの概念に焦点を当てます。哲学的、心理学的、社会文化的な観点を取り入れ、日常生活、芸術、社会変革におけるさまざまな注意の実践とその応用を検討します。」

あなたにとって、わたしたちにとって、「持続可能性」とは、「教育」「学習」とは、「変革」とは、なんだろうか。この科目では、ESD（持続可能な開発のための教育）やシティズンシップ教育の概念と、わたしたちが生きる社会のあり方を探索しつつ、持続可能な未来へ向けた人間や社会の変容・変革プロセスとしての教育・学習について考え、この問いに自分なりの答えを導きだすことを目指す。 What do “education,” “learning,” “sustainability,” and "transformation" mean for you, and for all of us? In this course, we will explore this question by looking into the concept of education for sustainable development (ESD) and citizenship education, and reviewing the world that we live in, while discussing education and learning as a transformative process of people and society.

In this course, students will study environmental policy instruments and discuss their strengths and shortcomings, with the goal of developing the ability to apply and assess them to address practical sustainability problems. On completion of the course students should be able to: • Assess how sustainability challenges can be addressed through a range of public policy instruments (taxes, subsidies, pollution permit markets, voluntary measures, etc.). • Understand and discuss the economic principles behind these policies. • Engage with debates about the practical strengths and weaknesses of major types of environmental policies. • Analyse the appropriateness of specific policy instruments for a given case study and pre-empt main implementation issues. • Recognise and apply a range of theoretical frameworks to conceptualise the relation between the larger economy, society and the environment Environmental and sustainability policy instruments are the different strategies that governments and the public sector can employ in order to achieve socially desirable sustainability goals. These instruments include taxes and subsidies (such as pollution taxes in urban centres or subsidies for renewable energy), tradable pollution permits (like carbon markets), and market-based instruments (e.g., payments for ecosystem services). Students will learn the economic-theoretical foundations for each of these policy instruments. These foundations include the assumptions or conditions under which they perform adequately, as well as their limitations. With a robust understanding of these instruments, students will be able to analyse and assess which instruments may be more suitable for specific policy circumstances and be able to make recommendations for a given practical case. The course covers more innovative policy approaches such as voluntary environmental measures, and introduces sustainability management strategies in the private sector (business). It concludes with a view of key macro-scale concepts and models for sustainability policy at the interface between the economy, society and the environment.

This course is designed to learn a great variety of research conducted at the frontier of “Sustainability Science”, through the latest research outcomes of Sustainability Science Consortium (SSC). SSC was established to develop sustainability research, education, and public outreach programs and to strengthen coordination between national and local government, corporations, NPOs and other organizations while developing practical measures for technological innovation and social transformation (http://ssc-g.net/*****). By understanding a variety of academic fields related to sustainability and interactions among them, students will come to take part in the process of integrating multiple academic disciplines to implement sustainability science approaches.
