1. Understand the characteristics of contemporary Japanese society and Japan’s global position.
2. Develop the ability to interpret economic and social features of modern Japanese society from empirical data.
3. Learn to extract useful information from diverse literature using generative AI.
***This course is offered in a ”fully on-demand” format, allowing you to study anytime and anywhere. Therefore, the main content
differs from traditional lecture-style classes. The primary activity involves completing assignments using generative AI tools
prepared by the instructor. If you wish to enroll, please be sure to check the first session guidance posted on ScombZ.***
In recent years, global circumstances have been in significant flux, undergoing remarkable changes. In this course, we will
set specific themes for each session and discuss international comparative research papers in the field of computational social
science. While explaining their content, students will be encouraged to consider various aspects of globalization. Through
this process, the aim is to understand the impact of globalization from a global perspective, examine Japan’s position in
the world and the world’s influence on Japan, and develop insights into the future of Japanese society.
Note: Some course materials will be provided in English to accurately convey the content of research papers, but assignments
will be conducted in Japanese.
- Understand the characteristics of contemporary Japanese society and Japan’s global position.
