Notes

【Course Objectives】

The purpose of this course is 1) to understand the multiple meanings of 'liberal arts' in higher education from historical perspectives and 2) to conduct basic research about Study Abroad institutions & to start thinking about 'liberal arts' learning outcomes during Study Abroad.

In the first part of the course, students will understand that the term 'liberal arts' has been variously defined according to different time periods and different areas. The term reflected a variety of educational aims, contents and types of students based on the interrelation between society and education. In order to understand the multi-faceted 'liberal arts', this course takes a historical approach to see the major transformation of 'liberal arts' in universities and societies in Europe, the US and Japan by revisiting the following questions: What were the contents and purposes of 'liberal arts' education? Who had access to 'liberal arts' education? Today's university education has its origin in medieval European universities when 'liberal arts' catered only for a few selected few Christian elites. 'Liberal arts' then became the common requirements for social elites from the early modern period and its importance increased as growing modern nation states used university education to raise its future citizens. The emergence of mass society after the 20th century enabled universities to expand university education to the wider public and come to question the position of 'liberal arts' in universities. Globalized society in the 21st century has now required to reconsider the position of 'liberal arts' in universities in the USA, Europe and Asia.

In the latter part of the course, students will start thinking about their expected 'liberal arts' learnings during taking the GLAP Study Abroad courses. Students are encouraged to think about the importance of experiencing Study Abroad as a part of their 'liberal arts' learning in university education. Students will conduct basic research on educational features and environments of Study Abroad partner institutions and share their findings in individual presentations.
