Writing a Graduation Thesis
【指導方針概要】
This course has five main aims: 1) to develop students’ abilities to analyze the concepts of “difference” and “identity” in Japanese modern history; 2) to understand the historical developments/changes of those particular social categories; 3) to enhance students’ critical understanding of the contemporary Japanese society by analyzing the historical developments; 4) to give students the support and guidance needed to complete their graduation theses; 5) to continue developing the students’ academic skills of reading, analyzing, discussing, and presenting in English.
In general, there are two types of class activities in the course. Each week, we will read texts related to the notions of “difference” and “identity” in Japanese modern history. And, every other week, we will focus on students’ senior research by having individual meetings and presentations in class. Each week, one or two students will make an approximately 10 minute-long presentation that fosters our discussion on the readings. In addition, students are required to work on their research.
