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 course discusses topics on contract theory, with emphasis on incentive and agency problems, at a graduate level. The aim is to provide a basic ground of theoretical frameworks and to stimulate participants' research activities on contract theory and related issues. The course is mainly for second-year graduate students or above. Other students or post-doctoral scholars interested in this course are also welcome as long as they satisfy the prerequisite described below.

This course explores the visions and historical processes that shaped the political, economic, and legal principles, policies, and practices of a transnational order in East Asia from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth. Its focus will be on the trans-Pacific interactions between the United States, Japan, the Philippines, and China, but always with the rest of East Asia in mind. The discussions will delve into the interplay of law, politics, and economics during the period covered. Through these discussions, this class will explore new ways of understanding the historical developments whereby a coherent transnational order was formed in East Asia. The aim will be to overcome the limitations of the two prevalent narratives regarding East Asian history. The first, known as the “Western Impact” model, looks at modern East Asian history in the context of how each society reacted to Western powers attempting to dominate the area through trade and colonization. The second approach has traditionally been presented as an antithesis to the first, focusing on the internal logic of East Asian societies, and modernization in these societies is explained by referring primarily to domestic political dynamics, avoiding overemphasis on influence from the West. By grounding our analyses on the development of a transnational order among East Asian societies on one hand, but focusing on trans-Pacific interactions on the other, our objective will be to re-assess not just the history of East Asian societies, but the history of the US, and its role in the shaping of a global order that remains crucially important to this day.

"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。」

生命システムが満たすべき普遍構造を理論物理学の立場から議論する。分子、細胞、個体、生態系という異なる階層間での発展ダイナミクスクの整合性を指導原理として、複製、適応、発生、進化の普遍法則を追及する。人工細胞の複製、細胞の適応、多細胞生物の発生過程、人工的進化などの構成的実験をふまえつつ、複製系の統計法則、生命情報の起源、相互触媒制御による適応、発生現象の安定性、細胞分化の不可逆性、ゆらぎと進化の関係、遺伝子型―表現型対応の安定性の理論を述べ、生命システムを理解するための物理理論の方向性を議論したい。質問や議論を通じた積極的な講義への参加を期待する。 Through this course, we discuss universal features in biological systems with the aid of concepts in theoretical physics. Based on the consistency principle between different hierarchal layers including molecules, cells, organisms, and ecosystems, we study the dynamic behavior of complex biological systems. The topics include universal laws in replicating cell systems, an origin of biological information, environmental adaptation by complex reaction network, developmental robustness, irreversibility in stem cell differentiation, a relationship between phenotypic fluctuation and evolution. Active participation in the lecture through questions and discussion is expected.
