Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This course aims to deepen our understanding of the contemporary Arab society by studying the language and culture of Arab countries. Also we try to find a point of contact between the Japanese society and the Arab society, and promote the activities that will build a bridge between them. Concerning Arab countries, only negative information such as conflict, terrorism, and gender gap is conveyed, and opportunities to experience the real life of the Arab world and its rich cultural heritage are quite limited in Japan, therefore prejudice and misunderstanding are widespread. Our lab has tried to introduce the appeals of Arab food culture, fashion, design and so on to the Japanese society, and planned workshops where people can actually experience Arab culture. We have also newly launched a interview project with Arab people living in Japan. Through these activities, we hope to promote mutual understanding between Arab countries and Japan, and envision a symbiotic society where diversity has positive value.
