テーマ：Exploring humanity through children's education and care
内容：Early childhood education and care (ECEC) is the foundation of human existence. While there are cultural differences in the actual practices of ECEC, we have much in common as human beings beyond such differences. ECEC is a unique discipline that enables us to understand what it means to be human through the experiences and practices of deeply caring relationships.
In this lecture, students will deepen their understanding of the diversity and commonality of humanity and human relationships by watching videos of excellent ECEC practices in Japan and discussing them together.

テーマ：Local Japanese foods from the perspective of geography
内容：The Japanese archipelago is long and narrow from the subtropical south to the subarctic north. The Japanese archipelago was formed by tectonic plate subduction that caused the uplifting of the terrain. With considerable precipitation, the erosion over the terrain made rugged mountains. These conditions created many varieties of natural environments, including many natural disasters. Moreover, this diversity of nature gives us many varieties of local cuisine and local specialties as a result. In this class, we will explore several local Japanese foods related from the perspective of geography: in other words, from the perspective of both Japanese nature and human activities.

テーマ：Globalization, Gender and Diversity in Contemporary Japanese Political Economy
内容：This lecture looks at the question of diversity and gender equality in two areas: employment and politics. In the post-war era, Japan developed an employment model rooted in a rigid gender division of labor between male breadwinners and female housewives. At the same time, women were largely excluded from electoral politics. Yet recent decades have seen various changes that have challenged this model, including population aging and shrinking, economic stagnation, and globalization, and changing gender norms. How have these changes impacted issues of women's inclusion in politics and employment, and what challenges remain going forward?

テーマ：Culture and Perception: How are perceptual processes influenced by culture?
内容：In the current world of diversity, people from various cultural backgrounds get together, share ideas, and have discussions. Culture may influence our way of thinking and communication, but do people from different cultures perceive things differently?
In this lecture, students will explore how culture may or may not influence perception through simple experiments, discussions, and group work. The findings reported in research papers and books will be introduced as supplemental materials. The lecture is interactive, involves pair and group work, and welcomes student participation.

所属：英語圏言語文化コース
テーマ：Teaching English as a Lingua Franca in Japan
内容：It is commonly said that English is now an international language. It is the primary global language of commerce, business, tourism, and academia, and is spoken worldwide by roughly 1.3 billion people. It is used as an official language in numerous countries around the world including India, Nigeria, and Hong Kong, and it has changed and evolved in each area it has reached. However, does the way we teach English reflect this reality? This two-part session will look at the global spread of English, will discuss what implications this change in the form and function of English may have on the way we teach English, and will consider some of the barriers preventing a truly international approach to English language teaching from being established in Japan.
