講義概要

This course explores practical ways to discover and understand culture in Japan, based on the gathering and analysis of qualitative data. Students taking the course will learn techniques of observation and interviewing and will practice applying these techniques in the real world in Tokyo. The course will explore the benefits and limitations of qualitative study of culture, the gathering of data, and how to analyse the results of interviews and observations. By the end of the course, students will have discovered some interesting aspects of culture in Japan and developed some skills that are beneficial across many study disciplines.

講義の目的

This course gives students an opportunity to actively study culture in Tokyo with students from many different countries. Students will gain knowledge of cultural research skills and different aspects of culture. Students also gain practice in working in groups, including scheduling and dividing labor and roles.

担当教員の一言

Each week you will be given a data gathering or analysis task to complete before the next class where you will present some of your results and work with others to improve them. This course is ‘hands-on’ where we work together to study and communicate our results. It therefore requires your full participation during classes (this will also increase your enjoyment of the course!).
