Understanding environment through culture, UEHIRO×WASEDA Seminar series

Syllabus 2017

寄附講座「文化から環境を考える」2017年度概要

 

【授業概要】

文化としての環境は「環境」を自然科学、社会科学、人文科学の3要素の統合体として分析し、この半世紀の日本社会が経験した環境破壊と環境再生のプロセスを、実態社会の動態として捉え、環境と調和した持続可能な社会発展の原型を日本の地域社会から探求するものである。

第一部に「文化としての環境」の基礎として環境思想、自然観、行政と市民社会、第二部で「文化としての環境」の分析と総合の手法と発信について学習に入る。外部の観察者ではなく、当事者としての立場で「場」に立脚し、課題解決の糸口をチームワークで導き、検証を加え、発表するというアクションリサーチを用いる。最終的にプレゼンテーションでの提言を地域へ還元する。
