【Course Objectives】

This project, entitled “Global Migration and Transnational Networks,” is focused upon Japan-Philippines, Japan- Bangladesh relations, and supported from the “Asian People’s Friendship Society”, the so-called APFS (non-profit organizations). This is a pioneering type of graduate program integrating research by professional sociologists and graduate students’ training in sociology. We will examine the international migration trends relating to Japanese society, and characteristics of contemporary ethnic communities. Additionally, we also undertake some research into the impact on the host society as well as on the migrants’ country of origin. Thus the research covers the network formation, that is the case of returning to homeland after staying foreign lands for a certain period of time. Our stance is from empirical research, gathering data from actual society. Students are expected to improve their skills in survey planning and quantitative and qualitative data analyses for completing research reports.

【Course Contents】

Contemporary metropolises have become embedded with various types of migrants, and current debate of “transnational migrants” emphasizes that migrants live in the interconnections with more than one nation state, or continuously keep their links with homelands, while living in the foreign host community. Our focus of the research is Japan-Philippines, Japan-Bangladesh relations, gathering data by conducting intensive interviews with migrants as well as returnees from Japan. Each student studies Sociological theories and methods from the topic of global migration and resultant settlement patterns.
