Description

Chemistry for a
Sustainable WorldOur continued existence on Earth depends on human activities, which are sometimes complex andinvolve the identification and manipulation of natural and non-natural substances for our benefit. This course will
introduce students to the development and application of the chemical principles and practices that are aimed atmaintaining a safe and sustainable environment. Notably, students will be expected to understand the basic principles ofenvironmentally friendly chemical processes as well as the environmental, political, and social factors driving theseprocesses. Furthermore, students will be required to discuss the applicability and application of metrics for assessing
chemical processes. Applicable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): no poverty; good health and well-being; quality
education; clean water and sanitation; industry, innovation and infrastructure; sustainable cities and communities; life
below water; life on land.

Allocating resources inhealth care fairly

Pressure on health care has been increasing. Rising world population and improved life expectancy add more demand onresources. In the meantime, the public in developed countries have a higher expectation from health care providers.
Offering all possible health care for everyone, however, is not an achievable goal. Rather, allocation of finite resources
needs to be prioritized, and this is a challenge facing governments worldwide. In this class, students will learn theMon / 5decision-making process in allocating health care resources. National Health Service of UK will be used as an example tostudy guiding principles. On successful completion of class, the students will be able to critically evaluate various healthcare issues and suggest solutions based on fairness and objectivity.

Diversity in the Japanese
LanguageIn this course, students will explore the diversity of the Japanese language and culture with a focus on Japanesesociolinguistics. The course will introduce a variety of basic linguistic and sociolinguistic phenomena and terminology
widely used in studying, researching, and teaching the Japanese language and culture. The goal of the course is todevelop students’ awareness of fundamental sociolinguistic issues and cultural and linguistic diversity in Contemporary
Japanese through discussing such issues as dialects, sociolects, language contact, bilingualism, and translanguaging.
Thu/ 2
Understanding the diversity within the culture and the language is essential for ensuring and developing an equal and nondiscriminatory environment allowing all its representatives for efficient and successful communication. Class activitieswill include reading and analyzing research papers and textbook chapters on a variety of sociolinguistic topics such as
gender and regional variations coded in the language, in order to develop discussions incorporating students’ reflections
on their experiences. The evaluation of the course will be based on active participation in class discussions, reflective
written assignments in preparation for the class discussions, short academic essays, and final presentations in English.

In this class students will use an open-source software tool called GB Studio to create interactive, digital stories.
Promotion and dissemination of open-source software and technology is crucial for achieving the United Nations’ SDGs.
Furthermore, the ability to communicate effectively to a wide range of people is also important for achieving SDGs. In thiscourse students will learn some simple computer programming; however previous programming experience is not required.

Underground andClandestine MediaJapanese and international students are welcome to this course in which we will discuss the underground media andpublishing methods used by oppressed and underrepresented groups around the world. Students will examine thetechnologies that allow these voices to be heard (including zines, the Internet, podcasts, independent newspapers, andliteral underground printing presses), as well as their role in creating communities of practice and promoting social andpolitical change. Topics range from subverting government censorship and control, taboos and subcultures, gender andethnic minorities, to contemporary uses of underground media.
While this course includes some writing, it is primarily discussion-based. Students are expected to prepare by reading
online texts or watching videos before class, participate in weekly class discussions, and write a weekly response
paragraph(s). Once during the semester, each student (in a group) must lead the class discussion on a subtopic of theirchoice. At the end of the course, in order to experience underground publishing firsthand, students will collaborate tocreate a zine on a topic that aligns with one of the SDGs (gender, diversity, poverty, hunger, peace and justice, health,education, sustainable cities, climate, environment, innovation, and global citizenship) as it relates to life in Japan.

The "SDGs" Contested

Do you enjoy watching good movies? Are you interested in global environmental issues such as the SDGs? If your answer
to both questions is "yes", this course is for you! First, we will explore academic literature in the field of political ecology
relevant to sustainability and the SDGs; then, we will put the knowledge gained into practice by watching (good) movies
and discussing how the films that we as global citizens consume can help us understand environmental and sustainability
issues, and in which ways our own personal perceptions and academic views on nature-society links are shaped by theprocess. Concepts from political ecology that will be covered in the course include environmental justice, ecosystem
Fri/2ndservices, nature contributions to people, ecological economics, de-growth, or ecofeminism, among others. This is a fun,rewarding course both personally and academically. To take this course you do not need to have any specific background(students across any arts & sciences fields are all welcome); yet students are required to taking the time to diligently
watch all the movies in whole, with a critical, academic eye. While some (initial) films will be chosen by the instructor, as
the semester advances, students will propose films to watch and will lead the follow-up class discussion about them.

The English language has a complex, often contradictory status in today’s world. While it is increasingly regarded as aninternational lingua franca, it is also a diverse, rapidly changing language, and even fluent English speakers can struggle tounderstand each other. Although called a “global” language, it remains closely linked in many people’s minds to a few
English-speaking countries, and there are many countries where English is barely used. In Japan, all children must study
English in school, even though relatively few adults use English in their work or daily lives.

In this class, we will try to understand these contradictions by discussing topics such as the following:
The Problems of English in - The characteristics of English as a natural language- “Standard” English and the diversity of English
Today’s World- The status of English around the world- English, politics, and ideology- The economics of English- English and culture- The status of English in Japan- Controversies about English and English education in Japan- Advances in artificial intelligence and the future of human language※The above information is subject to change.
