| 科目の目的・到達目標 | The objectives of this course are to help students (1) to understand multiculturalism as reality/ideology/policy, (2) to learn the possibilities and limits of multiculturalism through exploring a variety of forms of multiculturalism observable in many advanced societies such as Canada, USA, Australia, Great Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Japan and etc., and (3) to be able to apply what they have learned to examine multiculturalism in any other society of their interest. |
| 授業の概要 | In an era of global migration, managing diversity is an important policy concern for any governments, those of advanced societies in particular. Multiculturalism, as a comprehensive response to cultural/ethnic diversity, was first introduced in Canada in 1971 and adopted in many other advanced societies shortly after that. Since the early 2000s, however, it has been under attack in many European societies for having provoked excessive diversity and/or fragmentation of society. Such fears among the majority members often take the form of white backlash or inward-looking nationalism, and seem to further threaten the social cohesion. Under such circumstances, can multiculturalism still be an effective policy option? Or is there a more viable alternative to it? In this fall semester course, we will focus on multiculturalism as policies and practices. The students will select specific countries where multiculturalism in any form has been implemented and give individual presentations focusing on one of these countries at the end of the course. Examining the historical transformation of immigration policy, citizenship concept and/or multiculturalism-oriented programs etc. in different societies will help us understand what should be or could be done to construct a more harmonious and inclusive society. |
