First, it aims to dismantle the image of Japanese society based on postwar Japan that has been disseminated through the works of Ezra Vogel and others. Instead of viewing Japanese society as \u201cunique\u201d and \u201cstanding in the opposite of the West,\u201d students are encouraged to learn about Japanese society as it interacts with the changing international landscape, thereby cultivating their ability to imagine a more dynamic Japan.<\/p><p>Second, by combining lectures on macro-level social conditions with those focused on individual lives, students will develop the ability to observe Japanese society from multiple perspectives. By exposing themselves to different disciplinary approaches, students will acquire skills to critically approach Japanese society from multiple perspectives in a global context. They will also learn to reflect on contemporary global challenges through the lens of East Asian Studies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b16a170 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b16a170\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08f534c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"08f534c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9615a2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9615a2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Funded by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurasia.or.jp\/en\/foundation\/index.html\">The Eurasia Foundation (from Asia)<\/a><\/strong> (Grant Year 2024)<\/p><p>Project period: 2025-2027<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8713b75 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8713b75\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-364b40d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"364b40d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/japanonthemargins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Eurasia-150x150.webp\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-2146\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-Growth Era Japan: Globalization, Neoliberalism, and National Identity 2025 Organized by Yoko Demelius The omnibus course is funded to contribute to CEAS&#8217;s research activities to examine current global issues through the lens of Japanese sociopolitical events and phenomena.
