This course will introduce the fundamental structure of the health system, with a special focus on the role of health policy and governance in achieving higher performance. The design and analytical frameworks for health systems and policies, as well as critical global health issues will be introduced. By the end of this course, students are expected to be familiar with key health system challenges and corresponding policy options, and be able to apply the analytic frameworks and practical tools presented in this course to identify and address problems in health systems.

Food safety is a public health issue. With the aim of protecting consumer health, foods (including water) must be kept contaminant-free from farm to fork. The environment is a source of hazardous contaminants (i.e., biological, chemical, and physical) that could impair health resulting in malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality with the young (<5 years old), elderly, and immuno-compromised particularly vulnerable. Public health is, therefore, inextricably linked with environmental health. As such, programs for food safety assurance need to be holistic and transdisciplinary to be effective. The World Health Organization (1999) identifies the health sector as having the lead role in the implementation and coordination of programs on food safety. This requires an educated workforce that can identify environmental factors affecting food that impact consumer health. In this class, we will discuss food safety-related environmental hazards, their mode of contamination, and the underlying mechanism of the risk they pose to human health. Emerging and perennial foodborne illnesses will be discussed from the concept of One Health – a transdisciplinary approach of considering not only the issue at hand, but all the other upstream factors related to it. At the end of the class, students should be able to apply a holistic approach in understanding issues on food safety.

This course aims at helping students better understand current situations of education in Asia, particularly under the influence of globalization. We will discuss theoretical, institutional and practical dimensions of education, with particular interests of how education could contribute to the promotion and realization of more sustainable society.

This course is an opportunity for students to learn about photography and landscape along with the modern metropolis of Tokyo in which they find themselves. In this age inundated with Instagram, it aims to encourage students to slow down to think on photography both as an artistic medium and a tool for contemplation. And it hopes students will learn about Tokyo and improve photographic skills.

This course focuses upon Australia’s historical relationships between settlers and Indigenous people in comparative perspective. In the first part of the course, students will consider how key terms like ‘settler colonialism’, ‘race’, ‘the civilising process’, and ‘treaty’ can be conceptualised in historical context. We will trace how colonial ideas about settlement, land tenure and law sat within a pre-existing European tradition of thought, and how these ideas might be rethought through an Indigenous worldview. We will investigate different practices of cross-cultural brokerage and co-existence on frontiers of British colonial settlement, and consider some of the triggers that gave rise to colonial violence. Through the latter part of the course, we will turn to twentieth-century policies of assimilation and consider how they were shared or divergent in different geographical settings of the British Commonwealth. Finally, students will engage with some of the ongoing legacies of the colonial past in the present, and investigate how debates about truth telling have evolved in Australia, as well as in connected settler nations of the former British Empire.
