概要
This course aims to enable students to comprehensively and systematically acquire the basic knowledge needed in the Joint Doctoral Program for Sustainability Research. In particular, the lectures are aimed at cultivating a sense that serves as the foundation of ethical and pluralistic ways of thinking called for in international settings. The students learn about SDGs, global issues, and intellectual properties.
The lectures will deal with the essence of modern globalization and the issues and frameworks surrounding the modern international community. The lecture also offers the introduction of critical concepts to deepen the understandings of current globalized world and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Also, in order to deepen understanding of content learned in the lectures and to enhance the ability to apply the knowledge learned, workshops that provide opportunities for collaborative discussions in the humanities and sciences and for interdisciplinary debates will be held along with the lectures. In particular, students with different specializations will form a team and select a particular theme by which they will discuss ideas and formulate practical measures for resolving issues and for understanding the current state of social sustainability from a broad perspective.
Lectures will be given in English, while practicum sessions, seminars, and workshops will be held both in English and Japanese depending on the students’ skill levels. The combined use of English and Japanese will be done in such a way as to avoid any disadvantage to students who do not understand Japanese.
