Students who are taking this course must enroll in this course's Moodle site before the first class. On the Moodle course site, there will be information available about how to engage with the class during the first week of the semester. ***ABOUT THIS COURSE*** This course is an introduction to global studies. The course is required for all Global Studies (AG) MA students in the Graduate Program in Global Studies and is not available to other students. In addition, all Global Studies (AG) Ph.D. students who have not yet taken it must complete this course (the completion of which exempts the student from one qualifying exam). It provides a broad and interdisciplinary view of foundational ideas and problems in global studies. Four faculty members teach the course each semester. In addition to this course, all Global Studies MA students must take Introduction to Global Studies II in either the prior or subsequent semester. The markers “I” and “II” only indicate the semester in which the courses are taught. Students should take whichever course is offered that semester, regardless of number. In Fall 2024, four GPGS faculty members will co-teach the course. Tadashi Anno (Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 14, course coordinator) James Farrer (Weeks 5, 6, 7) Takeshi Ito (Weeks 8, 9, 10) Kiyokazu Okita (Weeks 11, 12, 13)

授業外の学習

The course requires participation in every classes meeting, completion of all reading assignments before class, a written analysis of the readings before every meeting, and reaction papers for each segment of the course. For one class session, students are expected to spend on average five hours in preparation and review. A large portion of that time (3-4 hours) should be spent on doing the reading assignments and completing the weekly assignments. A more consolidated chunk of time may be needed to complete the reaction papers at the end of each unit.
