Multicultural Symbiosis Education
Foreign schools (Chinese schools)

１） Research on Multicultural Education
We are conducting an educational sociological survey on the education and career development of foreign children who came to Japan after 1980.
２） Study of Foreign Schools
We conduct interviews with foreign schools in Japan (especially Chinese schools), young Chinese teachers, and parents who study there. From 2020, I would like to clarify the relationship between the career formation process and school experience under the theme of "Study on the socialization function of Chinese schools."

China Social Theory and Multicultural Symbiosis Theory

At the seminar, we will consider Chinese society from the perspective of "transportation of people". After the launch of the reform and opening policy in 1978, the movement of people and goods from China to foreign countries became more active. In addition, due to the relaxation of the departure policy, a departure boom such as studying abroad has occurred, and the number of new immigrants has increased. Furthermore, as typified by overseas Chinese, Chinese immigrants have a long history and large scale not only in Southeast Asia but also in Japan, Europe and the United States. In this seminar, we will focus on the impact of the transformation of "China" on changes in the environment and consciousness surrounding the movement of people from China, and deepen our learning about the state of Chinese society as a sending country. In addition, in this seminar, you can set various research themes and explore them freely. (For example, multicultural coexistence, children with foreign roots, education, disparity, gender, family relationships, environmental issues, youth values, etc.)
