広島・長崎講座

Hiroshima is not merely a site memorializing its tragic experience of atomic bombing in the last century, but a vigorous city in the new century, where students from diverse backgrounds can come together to study and discuss various important issues related to world peace. The need to rethink the legacy of Hiroshima has been increasing, as the current situation of the world has created serious new threats to peace. In this course, lectures will be given by specialists in peace research and Asian, European and North American studies, with particular reference to: (1) cross-cultural perceptions (e.g., roles of the media in foreign image building), (2) regional security, (3) perspectives on peace and violence, (4) nuclear weapons (e.g., DU weapons as the “nuclear shadow”), and (5) globalization and approaches to peace.

Besides these lectures, the course will feature several special programs, including visits to the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum, participation in the Peace Memorial Ceremony (August 6), and discussion with an atomic bomb survivor.

The aim of this course is to provide students with a general understanding of the nature and attributes of war and peace by illuminating various aspects of wartime experiences, including the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and, at the same time, to explore contemporary issues related to world peace in the era of globalization.

Most of the lectures are given both for undergraduates and graduates. Graduate students will attend several more advanced lectures and discussion sessions and will pursue research in a specialized area under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The selection of your advisor will be explained at the orientation sesson on April 9.

この授業は、「ヒロシマと平和」を文化、歴史、政治、国際関係など多角的な視点から学ぶコースで、講義と討論はすべて英語で行われます。
2008年度までは、学部レベルだけで実施されていたHIROSHIMA and PEACEですが、2009年からは大学院生版が始まりました。
世界各国からの大学院生と学び、ディスカッションをする経験はかけがえのないものです。世界中の大学院生と研究と友情の輪を広げてください。博士前期、そして後期課程の学生の皆さんの受講をお待ちしています。

　大学院H&Pはフィールドスタディーや午前中の講義は共通ですが、午後は大学院生用の講義を受講する場合が多くなります。また、大学院生はアドバイザーの指導を受けながら、研究小論文（計画書）を書き上げます。
H&Pを担当する教員の一部が大学院生のアドバイザーとなります。アドバイザーのリストはH&Pのウエブサイトに掲載します。詳細は、オリエンテーションで説明します。
受講を考えている方は、4月13日の5時限に実施するオリエンテーションに必ず出席してください。もし、出席できない場合は、コーディネーターの井上に連絡をして指示を受けてください。
