広島・長崎講座

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,
(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 HCU students to prepare for English lectures and discussions.

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、メディア、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（例年、10-15カ国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8日5時限のオリエンテーションに必ず参加してください。出席できない人は、H&P担当のリナート、西田、井上まで必ず連絡してください。
金曜日5時限に12回程度（日程は後日連絡します）実施する事前英語研修（PET Program: Preliminary English Training Program）では、英語による授業とディスカッションのための実践トレーニングを行います。また、English Only Villageという英語合宿（実施時期は未定）では、1泊2日の期間中、英語だけで過ごす集中トレーニングを行います。

　7月27日から8月6日までの期間は前期試験期間と重なる時期もありますが、H&P受講生に対して、他の授業の試験時間の変更や代替リポートなどの特別な配慮を行います。
