授業科目の内容・目的・方法・到達目標

Education offers a useful lens for looking at Japan’s society (or societies), for education is all about becoming a functioning member of society. It focuses on issues such as what one needs to know to act properly, whom to respect, when to speak, and who to become. Education is also a critical site of the ongoing debate about globalization, bringing the spread of English along with an increased presence of ethnic and social minorities. What is more, looking at education helps us understand Japanese family structure, food, fashion, and the culture of the everyday, all of which reflect (and construct) culture, social structure, and worldview.

In general, Japanese education has a bad reputation. Some scholars point out that bullying is widespread. Certainly there is a dark side, but there is also a lot to acknowledge and learn from. This course aims to look at Japanese education critically, yet with a multidisciplinary perspective and an objective balance, in order to gain a deeper understanding of contemporary Japan. Each week, there will be assignments of approximately 15-30 pages that everyone is required to read before class, and attention will be given during class to exploring the issues raised in these assignments, deepening analytic understanding, and articulating both a personal and academic response.

The course will be conducted entirely in English. It is open to students from Keio and from abroad. For international students, the goal is to expand knowledge of Japan in a way that will help negotiate living and working in this country. For Japanese students, the goal is to deepen awareness of one's own culture, and practice explaining local customs and worldviews to people from abroad.
