Course Description	The Seminar is central to activities at SFC where faculty members and students work together on a diversity of issues as a prelude to the Graduation Project. At SFC, students do not merely learn answers to given problems. Education at SFC aims to nurture and send out leaders of the future who are able to identify problems and create methods of resolving them. Through participation in such research, students work on real problems in society and gain a high level of expertise, and with this in hand, they embark on their Graduation Project that will be their "fruit of designing the future" as well as a personal proposal as they advance towards the future as individuals.

Course Summary

In our seminar, we conduct research on population and social dynamics, focusing primarily on international migration and multicultural societies. The ultimate goal is to produce sociology and/or demography papers grounded in empirical data, whether qualitative or quantitative. In this Seminar B Type (2) (Literature), participants will engage in group readings of various papers and books on a range of topics relating to sociology and demography. We will decide on the papers and books to read in collaboration with the study group members, but we are considering academic articles from journals such as the following:

・American Sociological Review
・Demography
・Population and Development Review
・Social Forces
・International Migration Review
・Ethnic and Racial Studies
・Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies
・Migration Studies
・Nations and Nationalism
・Social Science and Japan Journal
・『社会学評論』
・『教育社会学研究』
・『理論と方法』

＊Academic books and articles related to research methodology will be covered in Research Group B1. In B2, we will read papers and books related to research topics such as international population movements, social inequality, nationalism, and ethnicity.
