【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
Race, class, gender and sexuality, nation and so on constitute our identities, shape our experiences, and constrain as well as enrich our lives. Importantly, they constitute interconnecting sources of inequality in society and in the world today. In this seminar, students will read and critique social theories and research informed by an intersectional perspective that aims at understanding the complex, intersecting nature of social inequalities. In the process, they will acquire tools and develop perspectives to apply to their own research.

【到達目標 / Goal】
The main goal of this seminar is to develop students' sensitivity towards issues of inequality related to race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality and so on, and expose them to the cutting-edge theoretical and empirical works in the developing field of “intersectionality". Another goal is to develop students' skills in social research, discussion, presentation, and writing. Learning to evaluate and critique ideas and research is a particularly important goal in this seminar.
