Outline and objectives

The way we work has been changing dramatically (for example, the pandemic of Covid-19 has changed where, when, and how we work) but it is difficult to know where these changes lead us to. Through reading a textbook and discussing the contents together, we will try to understand what work has meant to us and how the meaning could vary by culture, gender, and generation.

Goal

Firstly, students will understand the meaning of work that varies across time and space, and how this affects our work attitudes and behavior. Secondly, they will acquire the skills to present and exchange their thought and ideas about work in group and in the class.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

This course is strongly related to "Sociology", "Social Psychology" and the "DP2-2", "DP4" and "DP5" diploma policies and fairly related to the "DP1-1" and "DP3" policies.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

This course encourages students' active involvement. Textbook is used as a tool to understand and discuss the meaning of work. Each week, students will present what they have read and understood in a chapter of the textbook, and share and discuss the main points in the chapter. They will also finish the final report and present it at the last class.Feedback will be given to students' presentation and report.
