授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course [ENG] | | 【Standardized across all programs】
In today's world, conflicts and disputes based on differences in cultural backgrounds are becoming more and more serious. Living in such a world, we need to be willing to recognize the diversity of cultures. However, if we emphasize cultural diversity too much and “otherize” other cultures as if they were the stories of people in another world, we may lose our empathy as human beings, which may ultimately lead to a lack of understanding and indifference toward other cultures. The purpose of this course is to learn universal knowledge and perspectives on human beings and culture by focusing on not only the diversity of cultures but also the commonalities among them through the process of comparing them with each other.

Objectives of the Course [ENG] | | | As a liberal arts course in the humanities, this course is designed to introduce students to theories and methods currently used in cultural studies, while fostering critical inquiry and understanding of other cultures. Students in this class will develop basic academic skills like critical reading and analytic writing, while also enhancing communication skills through group discussion and presentation. |

Study Load (Self-directed Learning Outside Course Hours) | | | In addition to the ninety (90) minutes of time spent in each class meeting, students should expect to spend time outside of class each week reading and writing responses to weekly prompts. Your work load will depend on which learning track you have chosen to join. In general, students on the Discovery track (final grade of B) can expect an average of one hour or less per week, students on the Mastery track (final grade of A) around two hours per week, and students on the Research track (A+/S) around three hours per week. For more details, refer to the guide to learning tracks, which is posted on our CANVAS site. |
| | 注意事項
Notice for Students | | IMPORTANT: I will NOT be using NUCT to teach this class. Our class will be taught on CANVAS and our weekly meetings will be held in person. After you fill out the signup sheet linked below, I will provide you with the password for accessing the CANVAS site. It is your responsibility to write me and request access to CANVAS before the semester starts. If you are considering enrolling, please add your name and address to the following signup sheet page on Google Docs so that I can send you an invitation to the course site:
https://forms.gle/naaQQ4Kx6Xyww1yJ7
Note that I will be opening the course site on Friday, September 29th. That way, you can view the online version of the syllabus, peruse the schedule of course readings, and even get a head start working on some of the lesson modules before the semester starts.
This class will be taught in-person for the duration of the Fall 2022 semester. If you would like to enroll in the class, please make sure that you have no scheduling conflicts with other classes meeting on the same day and time. There will be no special accommodations for students who double-book their schedules. Also, please note that after the semester starts, I will only accept enrollment requests from students who have attended at least one of the first three class meetings. Students should not write mid-semester asking to join the class.
Because this class has been scheduled on a day and time that directly conflicts with my faculty meetings in the Graduate School of Humanities, there will be three or four dates on which I cannot hold class in person. I expect that these dates will be: October 19th, November 16th, December 14th, and January 18th. On these days, I will have a recorded lecture and other materials that students can access on demand. These will substitute for the discussion meetings scheduled on those days. I also plan to block off office hours during those weeks for students who would like to discuss the material in real time.
Required statement about course withdrawal: If you wish to withdraw from this class, please inform me in writing (by e-mail) as early in the semester as possible. If you write me before the ILAS deadlines for roster changes, your name will be removed from the roster. If you write me later than that, then your name will continue to appear on the roster, and you will be given a grade of absent (W or 欠). |
