This course aims to provide students with opportunities to study the history of Japanese society from ancient times to the present and acquire the ability to conduct research independently; in so doing, students will learn the ways in which a variety of historical resources, including archaeological sites and artifacts, ancient documents, diaries, and records, as well as modern and contemporary official documents and customs and folklore can be analyzed. Students will learn how to leverage these resources to conduct historical research from varied perspectives, including political history, social history, urban history, and cultural history. Research activities will also extend beyond the boundaries of the university campus. By working with various academic societies and research groups, students will deepen their exchanges with researchers at other universities and research institutions across the country. Students can generally expect various future career paths including the teaching at universities, curatorial positions in museums and archives, and other research and professional positions.
