The seminar aims to introduce students to transdisciplinary research by analyzing global efforts to deal
with major crises and threats—or the absence of such
efforts. Students will develop basic research skills andgradually prepare for graduation theses or research
reports. The first year will be focused on writing aliterature review and developing a research proposal,
and the second on implementing it. Each seminarsession will include common readings and individual
presentations. Students will have to submit written
progress reports and continuously improve them.

本ゼミの魅力 / Why this seminar
There has been a growing interest in IR about the Global
South, so this seminar is an excellent place to explore its
implications. This is also a transdisciplinary seminar, so
students interested in non-traditional issues arewelcome.

The seminar is the first time you will commit to one
topic for two years. It may sound long, but it is relatively
short. Your active commitment will pay off in the future.
Students considering graduate school or research
careers may benefit more from the seminar. Also,
students interested in public policy or international
cooperation.

While fall semester focuses on research design skill[How to write], spring semester is more onreconciliation and peace studies literature [How to read].
Students will be given a series of questions alongsidewith a reading list to prepare for each class. They willthen lead the seminar by summarizing the readings,
discussing core issues, presenting their writing, andmost importantly, peer reviewing classmates' work.
After a series of writing and reading sessions, students
will organize a teaching session on their own research
theme employing a creative pedagogy. A detailed
version of syllabus will be distributed during the firstclass.

本ゼミの魅力 / Why this seminar
This seminar aims to introduce APU students inInternational Relations and Peace Studies to abroad range of historical and contemporary research aswell as relevant methodologies. The
primary objective here is to expose students to various
research skills and approaches involved inhistorical and policy analysis. It also seeks to help themin developing their own individual
research design that hopefully will become the basis fortheir graduation thesis. To achieve thesegoals, students will read textbook-style materials andexamples from journals, edited collections,and books; but they will also carry out practical design(or re-design) work in teams orindividually.
A course like this is by nature both abstract andp. 9practical. It is not about philosophy of science or
the sociology of knowledge, nor is it a survey of various
qualitative (or quantitative) approaches
to social science. The aim here is to figure out how to
DESIGN a concrete research effort, fromasking a question to coming up with a proposed answer
to that question and then doing empirical
work that sheds light on the proposed answer. It is one
thing to learn how to accomplish thesetasks in the abstract, but the only real way to grasp
them is to try and carry them out in practice. By working
through a specific issue with others, one begins to get a
concrete sense of the implications of otherwise abstruse
design decisions.

How to apply for the seminar
Write an email (emiheo@apu.ac.jp) to make an
appointment for seminar consultation/interview:(1) Write in the title (subject line) "Consultation for
Major Seminar 61"(2) Explain who you are and why you are interested injoining this seminar(3) Attach a research proposal (appx. 500 words
excluding citations and references)** How to write a research proposal:[1. Research question] Start with a research question.
"Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation since 1950s" is NOT a
research question. Make it as narrow as possible, asdetailed as possible, ending with a question mark (e.g.
"How does the younger generation perceive the G-worddebate in the Turkish-Armenian relations today?" or "To
what extent does the German parliament's decision on
Armenian genocide affect their reconciliation process?")[2. Background] Briefly explain why it is important tofind answers to the raised question[3. Literature Review] Present what has been
researched (by other scholars) and what is remained to
be explored (by you)
[4. Methodology] Describe how you will be collecting
data using which method[5. Originality] End with a clear argument on how yourp. 10

research outcome will contribute to the existing IR
knowledge world (what is new in your researchoutcome)[6. Reference] In the reference list, put ONLY books andjournal articles you cite in the proposal. Make sure youproperly use APA or Chicago citation style.
The deadline for consultation/interview is one week
before the application submission to the Academic office.
Any email arriving later than that will not be taken into
account. The selection will be based on your research
proposal, interview during the consultation, and whether
you took Peace Studies (ENG) in advance.

The appeal of this seminar is that it is made up of
students who share the goal of "realizing a peaceful andjust society." Achieving this goal is often difficult, andmany people give up on it. In order to continue working

students and message for them
国際社会においても、国内社会においても、強者による弱者に対する横暴や価値観を異にする集団での対立が続いており、平和で公正な社会の実現は、それを目指す人々の継続的な努力を必要としています。
真に平和で公正な社会の実現は困難ですが、そのような継続的努力が弱まれば、社会状況は更に悪化するでしょう。本ゼミは、そのような認識を共有し、平和で公正な社会の実現を目指す学生の参加を求めています。
In both international and domestic societies, oppressionof the weak by the strong and conflicts between groups
with different values can be frequently observed. The
realization of a peaceful and just society requires thep. 15

continuous efforts of those who aspire to it. It is difficult
to achieve a truly peaceful and just society, but if such
efforts weaken, the social conditions will worsen. Thisseminar seeks the participation of students who share
this recognition and aim to realize a peaceful and justsociety.

Comparative Study ofInequality and Globalizationin Contemporary Societies

基本的な研究領域 /Instructor's focusedresearch areas
Sociology of Work,
Inequality, Globalization,
Social Movements, Migration,
Multiculturalism

This seminar aims to have each student conduct original
research on a topic of interest related to inequality
and/or globalization. The growth of inequality is acommon issue of concern for many industrialized
capitalist countries. However, each country is
experiencing particular forms of inequality, given thelocal-specific economic, political, and cultural institutions
that shape inequality domestically. Comparative study isdifficult without the ability to investigate researchmaterials in original languages. I am hoping this seminarcan make use of the international learning environment
at APU and gather students of diverse backgrounds whowill play on their respective linguistic and academic
strengths in conducting research. This seminar aims tocomparatively look at inequalities cross-nationally byhaving students share each of their research agenda andfindings.
The long-term goal of this seminar throughout the 3rd4th year is to complete a research project by writing ascholarly paper (senior’s thesis or report). To reach thisgoal, you will be provided with guidance on searching forrelevant literature on your topic of interest, identifying agood research question, designing research by writing a
research proposal, conducting research, and writing ascholarly paper. Since many students at APU are undertrained in research methods, you will provided withpractical guidance on qualitative data gathering andanalysis.

class has two parts: discussion on assigned readings andsharing writings for feedback.

本ゼミの魅力 / Why this seminar
If you are interested in conducting your own researchusing qualitative research methods (observation,interviews, focused group, life history, participant
observation, etc), this seminar may be for you. If you
like working with people and learning about their lives
and experiences, you may turn this interest into a
research project by drawing on the research methods
you will learn in this class. Although it may be difficult to
conduct ethnographic fieldwork (due to time and budget
constraints) you can employ other qualitative methods
to research the communities that your research targets
on.

本ゼミの魅力 / Why this seminar
まずは、一人では読むことが難しい論文・著作を読みこなせるようになることです。多くの学生の皆さんは、大学に入って文章を読むことに苦戦していると思います。本ゼミでは、社会学の理論・方法、そして宗教社会学の古典の読解を体系的に行うことで、社会学の論文執筆に必要な文献の読解能力が向上します。
また、取り上げる文献のいずれも講義だけでは学ぶことが難しい内容のものですので、文献講読を中心とする本ゼミは、社会学に関心のある学生にとって大変有用な学習機会になると思います。
もちろん、事前知識はなくても大丈夫です。実際、現在所属している学生の多くは、ゼミに入ってから本格的に社会学を学び始めていますが、着実に文献を読みこなす力をつけています。ゼミの場で学生が助け合い、一緒に学びを深めるのも本ゼミの大きな魅力の一つです。

The following is a list of important points to keep in mind
when enrolling in this seminar, as well as lectures thatare recommended to be taken before enrolling in thisseminar.
Those who wish to conduct research in developing
countries will need to read and conduct research in
English. In addition, it would be more desirable if you
are able to read and conduct research in the local
language. This seminar does not conduct field researchor supervise field research, but the experience in the
research area will contribute to the development of yourresearch and to the improvement of your research.
Therefore, previous residency in the region is highly
desirable.
In principle, those who wish to enter graduate school,
whether in Japan or abroad, will be required to write
their thesis in English and present their research at the
Asia Pacific Conference.
Those interested in development policy and international
cooperation are encouraged to take courses such as "Global Poverty", " Introduction to Sustainable
Development", and " Development Policy" which areoffered not only in APS but also in other colleges related
to development policy and international cooperation.

The goal of Seminar I and Seminar II is to provide
students with methods, tools, and techniques to
conduct and write academic research.
Seminar I (Spring) focuses on data analysis with R.
R is a programming language that provides a wide rangeof statistical and graphical techniques.
In the first quarter (Q1), students will learn how tomanipulate data (e.g., how to reshape data sets, how tomerge data sets, how to aggregate data sets, etc.), how
to plot data statically, dynamically, and interactively(students will build an online dashboard with R Shiny).
In Q2, students will study econometrics (linear model)
and learn how to use R to estimate a linear model.
As final exercise, an academic paper will be replicated in
the field of international trade.
Seminar II (Fall) focuses on research methodology.
By the end of the seminar, students will acquire thetools to design their own research.
During the seminar, topics such as the purpose andsignificance of research methodology, the types ofresearch (quantitative and qualitative), definition andformulation of a research problem, literature review,
ethics will be discussed. Additionally, students will be
introduced to LaTeX, a high-quality typesetting systemused for the production of technical and scientificdocuments.
Students are expected to replicate the code in class andout of class, and read the material in advance fordiscussion in class.
By the end of the cycle of the two seminars, students

have to submit a quantitative research paper.*If students enter the seminar in Spring, upon
consultation with the lecture, they have to collect andanalyze the data for their project and make apresentation by the end of the Spring seminar. By theend of the Fall seminar, they have to submit the full
paper.
If students enter the Seminar in Fall, upon consultation
with the lecture, they have to design their research
project and present an extensive literature review by theend of the Fall seminar. By the end of the Spring
seminar, they have to submit the full paper.
*During the seminars, students can explore any field fortheir quantitative paper. However, if students decide tohave me as their thesis supervisor, they should researchon one of the following topics: International Trade,
Foreign Direct Investment, EU Economy, Trade Policy.

My seminar is about discovery of yourself, your world andyour peers, and the joys of research.
Any of the APU databases pertaining to the humanities
and social sciences are useful. Databases are a valuable
source, and since the university library subscribes to awide range of journals in these fields your access topublications is free. ProQuest in particular is valuable
because it provides full texts of graduate theses and PhD
dissertations. Learn how to use these tools.
I encourage participants to make the transition from"student" to "independent learner." As a student, teachers
and institutions tell you what to study, why study it, whento study it, how to study it. As an independent learner,
you should be able to make these decisions and choices
yourself.

About Graduation Research (4th Year work): In general,
students will be required to develop their own working
Solidity project using the skills they have acquired in the
2-semester Seminar, and then write either a Report or
Thesis based on that working project or projects. For theReport option, submission of a Software package/Smartcontract set, along with a Demo Video and Summary (inaccordance with University Guidelines) may be possible,
with advance consulation and approval by the Professor(advance approval required).

本ゼミの魅力 / Why this seminar
The objective of this course is to provide students withbasic and core knowledge and programming skill incryptocurrencies, blockchain, and web3, with a focus ondeveloping smart contracts and other resources for the
Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains.
The intention is to provide an enabling avenue forstudents who wish to deepen their knowledge andexpertise in IT, as a supplement to their social scienceand language skills, for the purpose of supporting
application to graduate school in Computer Science, IT,or an allied field, or seeking/acquiring post-graduation
employment in ICT (specifically blockchain-related).
This is a serious, HANDS ON course in Blockchain andWeb3 programming, and requires substantial motivationand programming skill prior to beginning the seminar. It
does NOT focus on either trading techniques forp. 55

cryptocurrencies or social perspectives/implications ofblockchain and cryptocurrencies.

参加して欲しい学生/学生へのメッセージ / Preferable
students and message for them
1. This is a serious, HANDS ON course in Blockchain andWeb3 programming.
In order to be able to follow the text, students MUST havesubstantial programming skills and experience BEFORE
entering this course.
2. Optimally, students should have a strong interest in
ICT (preferably blockchain), and should have taken anddone well in the following courses by me:
a. Media Production Lab (My section on the Linux O.S.);high grade required (A+ or A, or equivalent performance
up to the time of the interview);
b. Web Design or equivalent knowledge in HTML/CSS.
c. Programming (VB .NET; my section is preferred).
d. My ICT Special Lecture in Python or equivalentknowledge of Python (some Python use very likely)
e. Some JavaScript knowledge would also be helpful.
3. Since this is fundamentally a 2-semester course (Part
1: Fall; Part 2: Spring) that covers topics in a focus bookin sequence, students who wish to enter the seminar in
the Spring (not Fall) may have trouble following thematerial and completing projects during their firstsemester.
4. Note about PC requirements:
As a course in blockchain programming and development,
this course requires that the student have and maintaintheir own modern computing resources (recent-model PC
or MacBook, with plentiful memory (both RAM and disk
storage; preferably, a large external SSD memory) and agood, reliable internet connection).
****DO NOT attempt to take this course using an older
model, or poorly-working or maintained PC.***過 去 の 履 修 生 の 卒 業 論 文 の テ ー マ / Themes ofundergraduate theses submitted by the seminar

The class is flexible and depends on the needs of thestudents. In the third year, we focus on learning
research design and developing the framework forstudent projects along with the literature review. Some
data and analytical methodologies may also be
examined and discussed. It is an extension of thesecond year seminar on research methods that
continues into the fourth year for thesis/report writing.

ゼミのテーマ / Seminartheme

In combination with the Major and graduation seminar, I
aim to guide students in planning, carrying out, andwriting their graduation research. At the end of the entire
course, students will deliver their final thesis or project.
The Major seminar introduce students to basic literaturesin the field of inequality studies through close reading of
Spivak, Rawls, Sen, and Bourdieu. Afterwards, students
are instructed on how to develop their research interests
into a research topic.

Inequality studies
Global and Area Studies
Japanese studies

The graduation seminar is designed to meet students'
individually different needs, thus it will take a seminarformat. In the seminar, each student will present theirproject at various research phases and seek feedback notonly from the instructor but also from their peers.

不平等研究

参加して欲しい学生/学生へのメッセージ / Preferable
students and message for them
The type of students we would like to have in thisworkshop are, to use a metaphor, "people who like fish,
but want to learn how to fish, rather than seeking fish".
In other words, the student we hope to have is " aperson who wants to understand economics andmathematics (even if he/she thinks it is difficult), tolearn how to derive intellectual property, or to produce a
new intellectual property by combining multiple pieces ofintellectual property, rather than seeking results".
Possible applicants to graduate schools of economics or
economics-related international affairs, whether
domestic or abroad, are also welcome to participate.
The messages for students are the following three:(1) Never miss a seminar.
(2) Do what you are told to study, investigate and thinkon your own without relying on others.
(3) It is okay to be wrong at first, but learn the right
way later. Do not repeat the same mistakes.
参加して欲しい学生は，喩えで言うならば「魚が好き，でも魚を求めるのでなく魚の釣り方を学びたい人」です．つまり「経済学と数学を（難しそうだと思っても）わかりたいという気持ちがある，でも知的財産の結果を求めるのでなく，知的財産の導き方を習得したい，あるいは複数の知的財産を組み合わせて新しい知的財産を生産したいという意欲があり，そのための修業を厭わない人」になります．国内・海外を問わず経済学研究科や経済に関連した国際系の大学院志望者も参加歓迎です．学生へのメッセージは以下の３つです：（１）ゼミを休まないこと．
（２）勉強しなさい，調べなさい，考えなさいと言われたことは他人に頼らず独力でやること．
（３）はじめは間違ってよい．あとで正しいやり方を学ぶこと．そして同
じ間違いを繰り返さないこと．

Students will decide on a schedule of topics and readings
to prepare for each class. Each week one or two
students will act as leaders in presenting reviews ofreadings and points for discussion. All students will thenbe able to discuss the topic in depth at the next class.
Students will also need to find sources and preparesummaries of them regarding their chosen topics. Using
these resources, and with appropriate guidance on
research methods and writing from the instructor, I
hope that participating students will be able to develop
their own ideas and methods of analysis.

ゼミのテーマ / Seminar
theme (A to D)
A: Citizen participation indecision-making:What should we do to make surecitizens’ opinions and knowledge
are reflected in public works (e.g.
seawalls, dams, development
projects)? Why does it seem
citizens’ voices are often ignored?
Is there any successful case?
B: Fairness and distribution of
resources and risks:
Why does one group of people
tend to be sacrificed to provide
wealth to society? (e.g. pollution,
Minamata mercury poisoning);
What kinds of policies ormechanisms are needed to shareresources more evenly amongpeople? (e.g. fair-trade, foodwaste, water resources)

5th semester: Understanding research methods, academic
writing, and writing literature review on a topic chosen(probably as a group)
6th semester: Finish writing a draft of a research report/ athesis (partly as a group, then individually)
7th semester: Brush up a research report/ a thesis, and help
3rd-year students
8th semester: Submission of the work

C: Nature restoration andcreating “commons”:
How best we can use nature to
tackle various social issues andnatural disasters? (Nature-basedSolutions, Green Infrastructure,
Nature Positive); How will local
citizens perceive restoration
projects happening in theircommunities? How can society
manage these newly createdcommon resources?
D: Wetland conservation and“wise-use”:
How can we protect our sharedresources, especially wetlands
which are scarce and importantfor our planet and society? How
are wetlands providing benefits to
disadvantaged communities? How
can we raise awareness of
wetlands among people orpolicymakers? (wetlands = tidal
flats, beaches, coral reefs,
mangroves, estuary, lagoons,river, lakes, ponds, rice paddies,and other watershedenvironment)

theses. Each semester will be wrapped up with oralpresentation and report submission regarding individual
research progresses.
4th year seminar: research progress presentations andfeedback discussion (peer review meetings)
The seminar also focuses on teaching students how to beable to frame research questions, based on their interestsand focus. They are trained to not only think about thefeasibility of the research study, but also its possible
research avenues, and how to create research projects that
include ethical research practices.

本ゼミの魅力 / Why this seminar
The primary attraction of my seminar is an exciting
community of like-minded people who are always up fortalking about updates and issues associated with media andculture in an open discussion style. It’s derived from strong
curiosity and enthusiasm that seminar students bring ineach class, being attentive to different aspects of media andculture—representations, practices, effects, history, etc.—
and related social issues. The range media and cultural
studies cover is vast, as the discipline deals with any formsof communication or storytelling. Students’ queries to what
they see and find in the world of media often lead us toheated discussions. We also hold reading groups and movie
days outside weekly seminar class. My seminar (community)
to me is a stimulating place where I fully enjoy exchanging
different views and thoughts with students, and quite
deeply.

A motto of my seminar is “Learning to Think like a
Researcher”: it offers students the opportunity to upgrade
their skills required to their individual research projects. Thisis conducted in several ways throughout 3rd and 4th year
seminars – by creating groups of students within theseminars based on their research interests, giving them
research-related in-class tasks that require individual skills
and the group effort, arranging students presentations forthese groups as well as individual projects wherein students
present to peers their own thesis progress including researchmethodology and theoretical frameworks. The seminar aims
to train students to take constructive criticism in the best
spirit and as a crucial stepping-stone to improving theirresearch and also becoming a better researcher overall. I’msure all the skills acquired through this seminar will help
students succeed in their future careers in whatever paths
they take. Some becoming videogame/visual contents
creators or marketers, working in entertainment industries,
mass media, such as publisher, radio DJ, or fashionindustries, and others go to graduate schools.

参加して欲しい学生/学生へのメッセージ / Preferable
