授業の概要

In this seminar, we will learn about the experiences and situations of different minoritized groups in Japanese society and about different activities and approaches for promoting greater diversity and equality in Japan. We will focus on learning first about the stories and views of individuals in these groups to find out how they experience the issues that they face and action being taken on those issues. We will then try to understand those stories and lived experiences by relating them to broader social, economic, political, legal and media structures and processes, by finding concepts that help us to make sense of them, and by exploring the histories that shape them. In the second semester, we will focus more on the work of different organizations and approaches for supporting the rights of minoritized groups and creating greater equality.

Participants will be able to research groups and issues of interest to them so that we can learn from each other about many different aspects of diversity and equality in Japan. In recent years, participants in the zemi have looked at issues such as inclusive education for students with disabilities, patriarchy and women’s reproductive rights, the potential of Easy Japanese for communication with foreign residents, the situation of trainees on the Technical Internship Training Programme, refugees and migrants on provisional release, creating safe environments for sexually and gender diverse students at school, gender dress codes at companies and in job hunting, how young LGBTIQ people make use of social media to create safe communities and networks, the various effects of poverty on children’s’ educational opportunities, discrimination against Buraku people, the situation of languages in Okinawa/the Ryukyus, and dialogue and mis/communication with Ainu people.

Fourth year students especially will also have the option of participating in the zemi by organizing a public event - such as a film screening or a talk by a person involved with or affected by issues of diversity and equality - or working as a volunteer with a group promoting diversity and equality, and then presenting about their activities/experiences to the zemi.

All students, however, will have opportunities to take part in activities and events that promote equality and diversity at Chuo, or to help out, for example, with groups that provide educational support for children with foreign roots, an Ainu and Okinawan cultural festival, or an LGBT 成人式.

There will also be chances to work together with students in other seminars on diversity, inclusion and multicultural society at Chuo, for example by visiting organizations and communities together, collaborating on events and activities, and sharing research with each other.

You will be able to develop your use of English in this seminar if you want to. However, it is not an English class and you may also use Japanese in it, and develop your ability to work bilingually and switch between English and Japanese. 本演習は主に英語で行われますが、言語の授業ではないため、必要に応じて日本語も使用できます。そのため、必ずしも高度の英語力が必要というわけではありません。学ぶ内容に関心を持ち積極的に参加するうちに 、単純な英語力の向上だけでなく、英日の両方を同時に使い分ける、よりバイリンガルに言語に馴染む機会となるでしょう。
