＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
This course explores contemporary Japanese culture and society by focusing on the shifting conditions of marginalized groups. Japan is often framed--by people inside and outside its borders--as a "homogeneous society". However, students will be asked to think critically about Japan by moving beyond stereotypical notions of homogeneity and "Japaneseness" to examine its demographic diversity.
NOTE: This course will be offered through live streaming (using Zoom) during the scheduled time period. Classes will be recorded and made available for a limited time to students who are unable to attend classes. However, as in-class discussions and exercises are an important component, this course is recommended for students who are available during the scheduled time period.
