Theme I:
   “Contemporary Perspectives on Social Policy, Education, Family and Development”

Each session consists of lectures and discussions. Students are expected to actively participate in class discussions.

Theme II:
  “Science on Form and Color”
Nature is filled with structurally diverse or differently-colored substances and living creatures. The physical nature of form (structure or assembly) and color is figured out by the sciences, especially mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information science. The lectures examine and explain the science on form and color, and are given in English by teaching staff in the Faculty of Science. Each lecturer will present, in simple terms, the latest areas of interest in their own field of expertise. This will ensure an overall comprehensive approach.

Theme III:
   “Ritual and Power in East Asian Societies”　
In the history of East Asian societies, ritual has been crucially important for state power as the equipment for proving its legitimacy at home and abroad. For example, in Japan, which made a start as a modern state in the Meiji era, the government intentionally positioned imperial ritual as what would play politically-important roles for both inside and outside of Japan, leading to the present day. The aim of this programme is to consider ritual and power in East Asian societies in English focusing on state power and ritual. The lectures by teachers of modern political science, modern Chinese literature, and Japanese art history are given to discuss the topic from a viewpoint of comparison. This programme includes a field trip to the Meiji jingu.
