Purpose of the lecture
What kind of book do you think of when you hear the word classic? Classics are not limited to literary works. There are books called classics in various academic fields such as economics and business administration that you are trying to study. They have played a major role in shaping the current academic sphere, such as those that laid the foundation for establishing new disciplines and those that have brought major transformations.
What is the meaning of our reading classics now? You can't understand the answer unless you actually read the classics.
In this lecture, we will focus on the classics of social sciences. The instructor talks about the classics from each point of view, but it's just an opportunity to get you to pick up the classics. Through this lecture, I would like you to think about how learning started and changed, and eventually what learning is.

Opening Semester Spring |
Intensive lectures | 2 units |
Person in charge (coordinator): KAKU Kazunori (Associate Professor, Shimonoseki City University)
Purpose of the lecture
This lecture will open to students and citizens the results of the Kanmon Area Joint Research Project, a joint research between Kitakyusyu City University and TUFS, to students and citizens.
This year, we will focus on two themes in a row.
Part 1 will give lectures on the current state of social capital in the Kanmon area based on the research conducted in 2006. What kind of social capital is accumulated and how are they functioning in the Kanmon area? In addition to clarifying what kind of social capital the residents of the Kanmon area have in a questionnaire survey of residents, we will consider it from the viewpoint of the connection between Kitakyushu City and Shimonoseki City.
Part 2 is based on the research conducted in 2007, and looks at the Kanmon area after decentralization reform. Currently, decentralization reforms and provincial systems are being promoted nationwide, but these functions have a direct impact on local governments in the Kanmon area, residents, and the business community. In the age of decentralization, it is necessary for the region to independently examine its own future and send it to the government, etc., rather than "waiting for a decision in the central decision and considering the response." Based on these facts, we will provide a basic perspective for a view to the Kanmon area after decentralization reform, including the so-called "Kanmon Special City" discussion.
