概要

COURSE DESCRIPTION
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 different countries 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 in English by twelve specialists in peace research and Asian, European and North American studies, with particular reference to issues related to:
(1) cross-cultural misunderstandings (e.g., roles of the media in foreign image building),
(2) regional security (e.g., the Korean situation in Northeast Asia),
(3) perspectives on violence,
(4) nuclear weapons (e.g., a campaign against Depleted Uranium weapons), and
(5) globalization and approaches to peace (e.g., alleviating rural poverty through access to natural resources) . 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 atomic bomb survivors.

In addition, preliminary English Training Program (PET) will be held as a partial requirement of the program for Japanese participants to prepare for English lectures and discussions.

講義のねらい

COURSE OBJECTIVES
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 60 years ago, and, at the same time, to explore contemporary issues related to world peace in the era of globalization. The course is designed primarily for second or higher undergraduate students, who are expected to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the importance of peace-making by participating in lectures, discussions, and featured programs.

HIROSHIMA and PEACE、略してH&P。国際学部の学生の間では、いつのまにか「ヒロピー」と呼ばれるようになりました。

 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。海外からの受講生(毎年、10カ国以上から学生が集まります)と共に講義を受けるだけではなく、ディスカッション、フィールドスタディー、パーティー、そして、8月6日の平和式典の参加もあります。海外の学生のホスト役となり積極的に国際交流に取り組むことも授業の重要な部分となります。 履修を考えている人は(迷っている人も)、4月11日のオリエンテーションに必ず参加してください(どうしても出席できない人は、担当者に相談すること)。コースの解説と質疑応答に加え、過去の受講生の話、授業風景のビデオ上映、国際交流活動の紹介を行います。
