The course consists of 7 lectures and 7 seminars, given in alternate weeks. While lectures are delivered in English, some competence in listening and speaking Japanese will be required for participation in the seminars.
Participants in the course will be required to read (in English), collect data in groups or individually and make presentations in the seminars.
