Nonaka Seminar

Contemporary Southeast Asia

Person in Charge of the Project : Reina YokoiThe students in the seminar do a presentation on important literature about societies and history of Southeast Asia and present their research of their interest. Through these presentations, they scrutinize their research topic. In the autumn semester, we have an inter-seminar with Ohta seminar from the faculty of Economy in Mita campus. At the end of each semester, all Nonaka seminar students lodge together to give a final presentation. Moreover, there is a plan to conduct a researching project in Indonesia during spring break in 2018. We exhibit the posters of 4th-year students in the seminar to display the progress of their graduation thesis in ORF.

Welcome ASEAN/Muslim Friends

Person in Charge of the Project : Kanako ShinkaiThe students in the seminar aim to live together in Japan, beyond the framework of "Omotenashi". Since spring semester of 2017, we have started three projects for Muslims who visit and live in Japan to live together.
The first project is to develop an application to research halal restaurants, "Halal Guide Tokyo", and to search restaurants to post in the app.
The second one is to do interviews and post articles on the website "Welcome ASEAN Friends" to introduce services and shops in Tokyo for Muslims.
The third one is to create several recommended routes for Muslim tourists to follow in Tokyo. We display those three projects in ORF. We would like to receive as much feedbacks as possible to enhance our projects and research.
