概要

Japan has long been a country which both sends and receives immigrants. Today a number of ‘foreigners,’ including immigrants referred to as ‘oldcomers,’ ‘newcomers,’ and refugees reside. There are many expatriate communities worldwide. This course introduces basic concepts related to migration, immigration, and cultural encounters across national borders and explores the possibilities and constraints of the lives of various groups of border crossers to and from Japan. Through discussions, videos, group projects, and personal reflections, this course attempts to explore questions such as: What are the social, historical, and structural contexts defining the experiences of border crossers? How do immigrants change the places where they arrive and how do they change to accommodate the societal expectations? How do they construct identities, home(s), and community(ies) while negotiating their lives in-between multiple countries, traditions, and cultures?

目標

Students will learn key concepts, theories, and issues on immigration and will explore the contexts and experiences of border crossers to and from Japan. Students are encouraged to actively interact with classmates from diverse backgrounds through discussions, small group research projects, and co-produce knowledge through cross-cultural and comparative lenses.
