The course will involve a series of discussions among students following specified formats intended to maximize participants’ ability to learn and apply the following: -Skills for pragmatic, practical, intersectional approaches and multilateral solutions to global issues and challenges, especially in devising and evaluating policy proposals and alternatives. -Ability to assess, discuss, and debate global issues by leveraging multidisciplinary perspectives across public policy, economics, politics, ethics, security, international governance, and law. In addition to discussions, students will also develop skills in policy analysis, discussion, consensus building, effective presentation, and policy brief writing. The following is a list of themes: -Decarbonization, energy security and geopolitics, and the role of nuclear -The role of leading institutions and fair competition in global education in the era of digitalization -Challenges in progressing gender equality against the context of varying social vulnerabilities and inequalities across the globe -International leadership and the future role of international organizations

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 purpose of this course is to examine how Japan’s transformation into a modern nation was shaped and represented through visual culture. Great emphasis is placed on group work, as students are expected to actively collaborate with peers to analyze visual materials, share perspectives, and co-construct knowledge. Through these interactive and cooperative activities, students will also have the opportunity to enhance their English communication skills and connect with a community of internationally minded peers. この授業では、日本が近代国家へと変化していく過程を、当時の絵画や写真、広告などの「視覚資料」を通して学びます。授業では、オンライン教材やビデオ講義、歴史資料を用いながら、ディスカッションや課題に取り組みます。特にグループワークを重視しており、視覚資料の分析やプレゼンテーションなどを通して、学生同士が協力しながら学びを深めていきます。これらの活動を通して、視覚的リテラシー、歴史的思考力、異文化理解力を養うとともに、英語によるコミュニケーション能力の向上も目指します。国際的な視野を広げたい方や、英語を実践的に使って学びたい方に適した内容となっています。

This course covers basic concepts and methodologies of spatial statistics, that is, statistics specifically designed for spatial data. While the availability of spatial data has been rapidly increasing these days, certain characteristics of them make traditional statistical methodologies insufficient and/or inappropriate for their analysis. This course first discusses such characteristics of spatial data and then introduces spatial statistical methodologies developed with explicit consideration to them. Aside from lectures, students are expected to learn research articles of their choice to deepen and broaden their understanding of spatial statistical analysis.

This lecture will cover the theory of spatial information measurement and representation methods, as well as the applications of how it is used in various fields, and its recent development in combination with big data, AI, mobile technology and urban digital twin. Since there is an exercise on spatial information systems in the time slot after this lecture, it is strongly recommended to take this course together in order to enhance the learning effect. 本講義は空間情報の計測、表現方法などの理論を学ぶとともに、様々な分野でどのように使われているかの応用、さらには、近年のビッグデータ、AI、モバイル技術や都市のデジタルツインなどとの組み合わせでの発展について学ぶ。本講義の後の時間帯に空間情報システム演習があるため、学習効果を高めるためにも併せて履修することを強く推奨する。

This course is aimed at providing an introduction to Geoinformatics. It is a highly demanded technique recently in the research and pragmatic field of international development. The first part of the course is about GIS (Geographical Information System), and the second part is about RS (Remote Sensing). The course consists of lectures on theoretical backgrounds of geographical information and exercises on tools and techniques to process geo-data with GIS software. Participants learn how to apply Geoinformatics for resource and environmental management.

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, to learn about Tokyo and improve photographic skills.
