その他属性：【Outline and objectives】
Join us in the seminar course to gain understanding on fundamental
aspects of landscapes and sustainability. We will learn various issues
related to landscape sustainability through active learning. This
course is directly related to the aims of the Sustainability Co-creation
Programme (SCOPE) at Hosei University.
A vital attribute of the seminar course is developing a “class project”
where students are required to bring their own research questions while
employing a suitable method to explore the answer (e.g., literature
review, interview, questionnaire, observation). Students will then be
required to write a report, summing up their investigations. Dependingon their research projects, students will also get chances to learn fromfieldworks, and from local stakeholders/resource managers regarding
various local sustainability problems.
【Goal】
The course is designed as an advanced seminar course for undergraduate students.
Those who are interested to know aboutsustainable landscapes from a socio-ecological viewpoint are welcome.
By completing this seminar, students will gain a critical understandingof the various challenges of sustainable resource use mainly throughcritical thinking, and discussions.

Seminar (Academic)
This seminar offers students opportunities to discuss contemporary
issues and prospects associated with international relations in the
Indo-Pacific region. Although it is said that information technology(IT) has made a massive amount of knowledge accessible to us, it
is entirely unclear how we can effectively use it to make the world
more sustainable. On the contrary, we tend to be drawn in a sea of
information. This seminar encourage students to gain skills to criticallyanalyze knowledge in the age of globalization.

【Others】
I have working experiences in the Executive and the Legislative
bodies of Japan to deal with international relations, especially national
security affairs. I will introduce actual examples from a practical pointof view.

【Goal】
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:(1) Learn critical reading skills.
(2) Learn critical thinking skills.
(3) Understand how ‘concepts’ are used analytically.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?】
Among diploma policies, "DP3", "DP4" and "DP5" are related【Method(s)】The course will consist of short lectures, discussions, and presentations
by students. While we are reading the same textbook together, each
student is encouraged to find news to share and discuss in class. In
addition to a midterm report on what is learned from the textbook, each
student is required to complete his/her final project.

This seminar offers students opportunities to deepen their knowledge
and skills to analyze the role of business to contribute to solving
various sustainability challenges, especially global issues describedin the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). As governments
alone cannot solve problems such as climate change, poverty andvarious forms of inequalities, there is growing expectation for businesses
and civil society to play more important roles.
Businesses are
expected to reduce negative impact across their value chains and solve
various environmental and social problems, and people working forcompanies, including new employees who just join companies after
schools are expected to understand the significance of business tacklingsustainability challenges. Through this course, students learn various
efforts of global and local companies to solve challenges on the earth
and how they are creating shared value (CSV) and realizing sustainablegrowth.
【Goal】
Students aim at achieving the following goals:(1)Learn global and local sustainability challenges and how companies
are creating shared values (CSV) and realizing their sustained growth.
(2)Develop logical thinking skills to set hypotheses, collect necessary
information, and test the hypotheses through systematic analysis onthemes that students choose.

students with instructor’s facilitation. To acquire basic knowledge
on global sustainability and roles of companies, students will review
and present selected academic literatures and various companies’
sustainability/integrated reports. If students have a specific research
topic, they can present their research findings in class and further
discuss with other members.

Seminar (Advanced)
Join us in the seminar course to gain understanding on fundamental
aspects of landscapes and sustainability issues through engaging
with socio-ecological landscapes/seascapes. This seminar will be acontinuation of the seminar held in the fall semester and give an insight
into the concept of landscapes and its application in studying landscapesustainability.
A major part of the research will link the notion of landscapes together
with learning from local knowledgeable stakeholders and experts tohave a critical understanding of sustainability studies. A vital attributeof the seminar course is developing (or continuing) a “class project”
where the students are required to bring their own research questions
while employing a suitable method to explore the answer (e.g., literature
based research, interview, questionnaire, observation) from topics
introduced. Students will then be required to write a report, summingup their investigations.
【Goal】
The course is designed as an advanced seminar course for undergraduate students. Those who are interested to know about landscapesand sustainability issues (such as the traditional agriculture and/or
fisheries-based systems, urban systems, sustainable tourism among
others), including directly visiting these ecosystems, and learning fromlocal stakeholders, are welcome. By completing this seminar, students
will gain a critical understanding of different types of landscapesand the challenges they face. They will also work through criticalthinking, discussion, and writing to explore workable solutions to thesechallenges. Students will learn vital oral and written communication
skills, mainly through their class projects. These skills will help themin their future studies and research.

Seminar (Academic)
This seminar offers students opportunities to discuss contemporary
issues and prospects associated with international relations in the
Indo-Pacific region. Although it is said that information technology(IT) has made a massive amount of knowledge accessible to us, it
is entirely unclear how we can effectively use it to make the world
more sustainable. On the contrary, we tend to be drawn in a sea of
information. This seminar encourage students to gain skills to criticallyanalyze knowledge in the age of globalization.

This seminar offers students opportunities to acquire knowledge andskills to analyze the role of business to contribute to solving global
issues described in the SDGs, U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
As governments alone cannot solve problems such as climate change,poverty and various forms of inequalities, there is growing expectation
for businesses and civil society to play more important roles. Companies
are uniquely positioned to collaborate with their stakeholders to reduce
negative impact across their value chains and deliver high-impact
business solutions to challenging sustainability issues. In this course,
students will proactively learn, through active learning, the current
status and challenges of corporate efforts on various sustainability
challenges on the planet.
【Goal】
Students aim at achieving the following goals:(1)Learn global and local sustainability challenges and how companies
are creating shared values (CSV) and realizing their sustained growth.
(2)Develop logical thinking skills to set hypotheses, collect necessary
information, and test the hypotheses through systematic analysis onthemes that students choose.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?】
Among diploma policies, "DP3", "DP4" and "DP5" are related【Method(s)】The course will mainly consist of discussions and presentations by
students with instructor’s facilitation. To acquire basic knowledge
on global sustainability and roles of companies, students will review
and present selected academic literatures and various companies’
sustainability/integrated reports. If students have a specific research
topic, they can present their research findings in class and further
discuss with other members.
Feedback on assignments submitted by students will be provided inclass or through the Learning Management System.Please note thatthe teaching approach may vary according to which threat level we are

Sociology of Gender and Families
The family is one of the most important social institutions that everyone
in society is familiar with. Because of the familiarity, however, we
often lack critical perspectives on the issues pertaining to the family.
We will challenge typically taken-for-granted notions of the family byconsidering it from a sociological point of view. We will do so by
highlighting the ways in which gender plays a critical role in shaping
our experiences, identity, as well as relationship to others.
【Goal】
While focusing on families in contemporary Japan, this course willtake a historical and comparative perspective to highlight diversity
and transformation of families, both within and outside Japan. By
investigating both public policies and private dynamics, we aim todeepen our understanding of, and gain critical perspectives on thefamily.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. identify and critically engage with social issues pertaining to thefamily and gender;
2. understand the connection between individual experiences in family
and broader socio-historical contexts; and3. discuss issues surrounding the family and gender with a comparative
perspective.

Strategies for Intercultural Communication
休講
Term：春学期授業/Spring ｜ Credit(s)：2 ｜ Day/Period： ｜ Campus：市ヶ谷 / Ichigaya ｜ Grade：1〜4
Notes：
その他属性：【Outline and objectives】
Intercultural Communication is a fundamental field of study intoday’s globalized world.
This course will deal with two main
approaches to intercultural communication, Culture-General Approach,and Culture-Specific Approach. In the Culture-General Approach, thefocus is on building a general understanding of the importance of culture
to human existence and examining ways to either neutralize the impactof culture so that it does not get in the way of communication orcommunicate within culturally diverse groups without stereotyping or
discriminating. In the Culture-Specific Approach, individuals usually
try to learn as much as possible about a particular culture or groupof cultures often by comparing them to their own cultural backgroundor a particular nation’s predominant culture so that they can avoid
communication challenges. Combining these two approaches in thiscourse prepares students to approach intercultural encounters witha set of practical principles and behaviors so that students acquire
skill-building opportunities through intercultural encounters.
【Goal】
This course aims to provide students with advanced and integrated
knowledge of intercultural communication theories and skills forresearch and professional practice. The course will critically analyze
the key role that communication plays in developing intercultural
relations and managing intercultural conflict, using various case studies
from different cultures/countries. In addition, students will be able
to evaluate how media and culture intersect as contested zones toinfluence cultural change. These contents will allow students tobecome aware of the diversity of cultures, become familiar with culturalvariations, and develop skills in monitoring personal behavior andresponding non-judgmentally to the unexpected behaviors encounteredin diverse educational and workplace situations. After completing thiscourse successfully, students should be able to engage sensitively andconfidently with individuals, groups, and communities in local, national,
and international communication environments.

Business Communication
Asako NAGAI
Term：春学期授業/Spring ｜ Credit(s)：2 ｜ Day/Period：木 5/Thu.5 ｜ Campus：市ヶ谷 / Ichigaya ｜ Grade：1〜4
Notes：
その他属性：〈グ〉【Outline and objectives】
Effective communication is critical to our successful life and careers.
But the question is “How can we become an effective communicator?”
In this course, we will be aiming to be effective communicators byunderstanding the following four topics:(1) Effective communication with a focus on others
When we want to be a good communicator, learning how to speak andwrite clearly is not enough; it is important for us to improve our ability
to connect with others. The ability to truly connect with others is the
key to building good relationships and improving our communication.
In this course, we will learn how to communicate effectively by focusing,
not on our own perspective, but on the perspective of others and theirinterests.
(2) Understand cultural differences
Understanding cultural differences of people we communicate with isalso very important for effective business communication. In thiscourse, we will learn a model called “The Culture Map” and decode how
cultural differences impact international business communication.
(3) Understand unconscious bias
Unconscious bias refers to a bias that we are unaware of, and whichhappens outside of our control. Unconscious bias happens when
we make quick judgments and assess other people and situations.
Our biases are influenced by our background, cultural environment
and individual experiences. Increasing numbers of global companies
are introducing in-company education programs on unconscious bias
because it could be a potential obstacle for their business unless theyeffectively address it. In this course, we have a basic understanding of
unconscious bias and learn how to deal with it.
(4) Understand business context
Communicating in a business context may require additional consideration to different environments including team dynamics, power balance
and relationship with others. In this course, we will bring case studies
to learn different situations which affect relationship with others andhow to effectively communicate in a business context.
【Goal】
We aim at achieving the following goals:(1) Learn basic methodologies for effective business communication witha focus on others.
(2) Understand cultural differences in communication based on “theCulture Map.”(3) Gain a basic understanding of unconscious bias and how to cope withit.
(4) Learn effective communication under business context.
