We will learn about the philosophy and history of the system of sovereign states that formed the basis of current international relations, and outline the development of global governance and the new international order since the 1990s. We will also learn about human rights violations during conflicts and emergencies, the role of education, and what is needed to protect women's peace and security. Finally, we will explain the history of Hiroshima, the site of the atomic bombing, with the aim of providing an opportunity to think about peacebuilding in the world from Hiroshima.

This course is aimed at students who are not specialists in physics, and will cover topics in modern physics. The aim is for students to be able to discuss radiation from a scientific point of view based on their basic knowledge. Special relativity and quantum theory have revolutionized the way we think about nature. Through this lecture, we aim to understand the essence of these ideas.

This lecture examines how tourism transforms islands. We first discuss why island tourism and studies are important and how sustainable tourism can contribute to island development. Then we look at island tourism from the aspects of nature, culture and society. In each section, we identify challenges and chances from different examples. Sustainable tourism aims to address the challenges and promote the chances brought by tourism to create a balanced form of tourism adjusted to each island.

What are some of the compelling explanations behind our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions? Do you ever wonder about our values as individuals, or what creative responses to the state of the human condition convey about the state of both Japan and our global society? The ¡°hub¡± nature of psychological science means that the discipline intersects with theories of behavior, philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience, and other areas of the social sciences.

This lecture series illustrates some of these connections with four big questions grounded in a throughline of characters and culture. Leaning on critical evaluations of the empathy technology of books, we will engage in topics from research in fiction, personality, well-being, and morality, and reflect on their contributions toward cultivating your interest in the cognitive and social sciences.
