Interdisciplinary research into social phenomena: Introduction to computational social science, Obayashi seminar

In this laboratory, we will use sociology as a core field to work on unraveling the mysteries (mechanisms) of social phenomena. Specifically, we will develop an attitude to unravel a wide range of social mysteries, such as inequality issues, nursing care issues, cyber cascades and polarization on the Internet, by making full use of knowledge and techniques (experiments, big data analysis, mathematical analysis, simulations, etc.) not only from sociology but also from psychology, economics, political science, and information science.

Media Information Studies and Media Information Processing Ito Seminar

Media informatics and media information processing are related to various academic fields and contexts, such as tourism, intercultural communication, cognitive science, psychology, social science, medicine, education, and sociology. In this laboratory, we focus in particular on pictograms, an information expression medium, and conduct research on programming, content generation and processing, information design, and more. We pursue research that is unique to School of Social Informatics which deals with interdisciplinary themes.

Sports Science, Coaching and Training Science Endo Seminar

Endo Seminar aims to deepen understanding of the activities of athletes and coaches and to obtain knowledge that will help improve athletes' performance. Based on activities that aim to unravel sports interdisciplinary from the perspectives of the fusion of experiential knowledge (physical knowledge) and scientific knowledge, the circulation of theory and practice, problem-solving thinking systems and thinking skills, and planning and creativity of practical content, we value an attitude of pursuing the value of sports from multiple perspectives.

Nanbu Seminar: Modeling social issues and analyzing data to come up with effective policies

In the seminar, we study econometrics, consider quantitative models for various social issues that span human and information systems, and discuss the effectiveness of policy measures. Quantitative analysis using data is a method that is necessary regardless of field, and I think it is a skill that can be used even after entering the workforce. During the seminar camp, we visit manufacturing sites and learn various things, not only technical aspects but also ingenuity to create added value.

Designing flexible information systems that apply information systems and learning science Matsuzawa Seminar

The theme of Matsuzawa's seminar is to use information systems and learning science to design "flexible" information systems that amplify human creative activity. Students from a variety of courses are enrolled, and through collaboration among diverse members, they are conducting research on web information systems that propose new services, learning designs that make people smarter, information education for children, and analysis of the information society.

Kagawa Seminar: Connecting local communities with global social structures

Every year, we plan events in collaboration with local playgrounds and communities. Some students are in bands or compose music, some have experience playing soccer, some are professional-level kendama players, etc. All students already have some kind of diversity. By skillfully combining these, we aim to create original projects that will please the local people. And through these small activities, we also learn about the issues and mechanisms of global society.

Ishida Seminar: Considering sustainable development of energy and the environment from an economic perspective

In the seminar, we consider the interrelationships between economic development, energy consumption, and global warming, and consider the conditions that enable sustainable development from the perspectives of policy and economics. We raise questions and discuss the findings of the person in charge. Through tours of facilities, we get a real sense of the difficulties of energy supply. It is not easy for students to set their own research topic and complete their graduation research, but it seems to be a good experience for them.
