【Course Objectives】

Through a review of the literature and research on families and intimate relationships, students will acquire the ability to think objectively about these issues from political, social, and historical perspectives.

【Course Contents】

Family and intimate relationship issues are often considered personal problems. However, they change dramatically with time and social structure.
In recent years, family issues such as declining birthrates and unmarried couples have attracted much attention. These issues are not only the result of individual choices, but also have a great deal to do with the transformation of postwar Japan's social structure in the wake of globalization.
This seminar aims to provide a structural understanding of these family and intimate relationship issues, taking into account the social and historical background.
 In the spring semester, students will develop basic skills through a review of the relevant literature and discussion. Literature will be selected from a wide range of sources, including not only literature on family issues, but also sociological theories, and political, economic, historical, and cultural works on intimate relationships.
