Moreover, students will in conjunction also deepen their problem awareness and social scientific thinking through the necessary reading of literature on sociology, political science, public administration, policy research, and media theory. Students will engage in research and implementation projects as needed. The course will generally be held Mondays from 7th to 10th periods, where students will read course literature (in English too) and engage in projects together with graduate students and research students from the graduate Nishida laboratory.
