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.

While music is often touted as a “universal language” and thought of in terms of its positive functions—e.g., tool of aesthetic, spiritual, and/or intellectual expressions; formation of personal identities; building relationships and communities; mobilizing spirits and promoting actions; healing and rehabilitation; enhancing ambience and environment—it also involves various forms of inequity, exclusion, and exploitation in its creation, circulation, and consumption. This course examines the issues of diversity, equity, and inclusivity in musical practice and explores what it means to pursue justice in/through music. Through discussions of key concepts and assigned readings, field observations, and group projects, we will explore such topics as: class, race, and gender in musical practice; ability, productivity, and creativity in music; music and representation; advocacy and activism in/through music. Through the course, students will: - learn to think of music as not only as an artistic but also a social practice - understand various forms of exclusion, marginalization, and exploitation that occurs in musical practice - learn about examples of advocacy and activism for social justice in/through music - learn interdisciplinary approaches to the study of music, including American studies, cultural studies, ethnography, ethnomusicology, history, musicology, and sociology - engage music as an embodied social practice and analytically reflect on the experience

司法・犯罪心理学に関する知識を習得するとともに、そうした知識をもとに、さまざまな犯罪や司法に関わる出来事を多様な視点から捉えることができるようになることを目指す。 犯罪が生じた心理学的原因を探ることにとどまらず、犯罪（加害）者、（冤罪被害者を含む）被疑者／被告人、（犯罪被害者を含む）市民という３者の視点から、司法・犯罪心理学を捉えていく。こうした視点をとることにより、犯罪という現象や司法という制度に関わる（関わらざるを得なくなる）人間の心理を理解することが可能となる。

This course provides a critical and interdisciplinary overview of the major legal and political developments that have shaped - and continue to shape - Japanese society. Drawing on perspectives from political science, law, history, and sociology, the course emphasizes both top-down and bottom-up processes in Japanese governance. It focuses on how law operates within society, particularly through constitutional, criminal, and civil law. However, the aim is not to analyze these laws in isolation, but to explore how they function within the social fabric of Japan. Law is a fundamental aspect of everyday life in all societies: it provides predictability, helps avoid anarchy, and secures cooperation among members of society by prioritizing the common good over individual gain (law as a tool for stability in society). Law is also a tool for action when people or groups feel excluded, discriminated against, or believe they are being treated unjustly (law as a tool for social change). This course examines the central features of Japan's legal system, viewing law as a social institution and exploring its relationship with other societal systems. We will focus on the role of key actors in the legal system and the interplay between social stability, and change. Additionally, the course emphasizes the relationship between law and broader economic, political, and social processes. From the perspective of the sociology of law (or socio-legal studies), we will examine how law serves as both a practical resource for addressing social issues (a tool for change) and a set of shared representations and aspirations (for stability). The course will explore how legal professionals (lawyers, judges, law enforcement officers) and ordinary citizens mobilize and use law. Due to time constraints, we cannot cover every aspect of Japan’s legal system or every actor involved. Instead, we will focus on key topics that illustrate the situational and systemic demands placed on actors within the legal system. At the same time, we will seek to identify patterns in how law interacts with and influences society. Some of the topics we will address include Japan’s exceptional record in economic development, crime control, and its low litigation rate. These topics exemplify why Japan's legal system is so efficient; not only by examining how it functions today, but also by tracing its historical roots and understanding why it evolved in this way. We will also address topics such as the death penalty, wrongful convictions, same-sex marriage, and other areas of social activism where law is used to drive social change. These topics reflect the "reverse side of the coin," where law may not function effectively, and social activism seeks to change the situation. In sum, we will analyze the actual evolution of the rule of law in both the past and present, with an eye on the future of Japan and its place in a globalizing world. Therefore, this course combines methodologies from the sociology of law and legal history. We will also critically assess the limitations of law in Japan, asking which social issues remain unresolved by the legal system. Is Japan’s legal system an example for other countries to follow, or not? Ultimately, the goal is to critically examine both the merits and flaws of Japan's legal system in an informed and balanced manner. By studying how conflicts are resolved, how social order is maintained, how movements for social change emerge, and how legal frameworks operate within Japan’s socio-political context, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of Japan’s legal system from the Meiji era (1868–1945) to the present day. Each class will begin with a methodological introduction, providing students with tools from the sociology of law, followed by the analysis of primary materials (e.g., court decisions, political speeches, legislative texts, personal diaries) and secondary readings that offer academic context.
