We have eleven research labs, and students can attend lectures, seminars and hands-on courses at each major area of History, Geography, Jurisprudence, Economy, Sociology, Ethics and Social Study Education. Here students can study a wide range of basic social knowledge needed for the field of expertise and, at the same time, can enhance their quality as Social Study teachers. Each student belongs to either one of these research labs and, in their senior year, research becomes more specific as students commence thesis research.   History of Relation between Japan and China Introduction to Chinese History Introduction to Occidental History Topics in Occidental History   Human Geography Practical Methods in Geographical Research History of Western Ethics Contemporary Ethics An Introduction to Sociology Lectures on Present-day Society Social Law Constitutional Law Economics Modern Economy Teaching Methodology of Social Studies Education Geographical Education Teaching Methodology of Elementary Social Studies Teaching Methodology of Secondary Social Studies     Master's Theses ♦ The History of Relation between Japan and China in Ming Period ♦ The Education System in Sung Dynasty ♦ Sustainable Tourism and Regional Development in Yaku-shima Island ♦ Concept of Health in Friedrich Nietzsche' Thought ♦ A Theory of Family from the Viewpoint of Children ♦ On the Reproduction of Gender in School ♦ Relationship between Husband and Wife Having Gender Role ♦ Human Rights Education and the Rights of Children ♦ Modern Japanese Public Finance and Public Debt ♦ A Peace Education and War Expenditure, War Industries ♦ A Study on the Kyodo Karuta from the Viewpoint of Social Studies Education ♦ A Study on the Pupils?
