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.

　本授業の目標は、環境正義と気候正義に関する重要な論点を批判的に理解することである。授業はセミナー方式で進められ、事前に配布された資料を基に討論を行う。講読資料は実例から哲学・倫理学の理論にまで多岐に亘るが、討論では主に規範的なアプローチを採る。

This course explores the role of law and governance in mediating the human-environment interface. It focuses on the Anthropocene as it confronts law and governance scholars with a unique challenge concerning the need to question, and ultimately re-imagine, international environmental law and governance interventions in the light of a new socio-ecological situation. Through interactive lectures, classroom discussions based upon pre-assigned readings, oral presentations, and the elaboration of a joint mini-project, students not only assess the (mostly unsuccessful and ineffective) regulatory interventions used thus far to mediate the human-environment interface; they also examine the possibility to develop counter-narratives and alternative institutional practices, by drawing on most recent critical legal approaches as well as sociocultural traditions that have been marginalised within international environmental law.

イマヌエル・カント（1724-1804）の『視霊者の夢』（1766）は、『純粋理性批判』（第1版 1781）に始まる「批判期」以前の著作でありながら、一方で批判哲学への方向を指し示すものとして、また他方で批判哲学において後景に退いてしまう要素を含むものとして、カントのなかではやや特異ともいえる魅力的なテクストです。 『視霊者の夢（Träume eines Geistersehers）』はタイトルの前半に過ぎず、さらに「形而上学の夢によって説明された（erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik）」という説明が続きます。「視霊者」と呼ばれているのは、神秘主義者として知られるエマヌエル・スウェーデンボリ（1688-1772）であり、「霊（Geist）」との交信という問題が批判的に論じられます。 「形而上学」という語が指しているのは、のちにカントが「独断論」や「合理主義」として批判することになるライプニッツ・ヴォルフ学派（特にバウムガルテン）の哲学です。そこでは形而上学的体系の要の位置を「精神（Geist）」の概念が占めていました。 「視霊者」と「形而上学」それぞれの「夢」を交差させ、対置する形で批判する、いわば二正面作戦をとったカントの意図ないしストラテジーに着目しつつ、この複雑なテクストを2022年に出た批判版にもとづき、ドイツ語原文で精読していきます。

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

本年度の授業では、いやしくも環境倫理学と称する学が今後日本で存在し続けるとしたら、どのような学でありうるだろうか、ということを念頭において、2011年に起こった福島第一原子力発電所事故がはらむ諸問題を、被災当事者の証言に基づいて受講生に問題提起していきたい。 複数の証言者について検討することを通して、まず原発事故がどのような問題を引き起こしているのかを一定程度具体的に知ることができるだろう。また、受講生の皆さん各自がそういった証言から原発事故が引き起こした問題を評価し、原発事故の解決とは何かを自分なりに提起できるようになることを目指す。
