The main topic of the module of “Social Structure, Identity and Social Action in Contemporary Japan” for the Winter Term 2021/2022 is Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Japanese Society. The course will introduce students to both theoretical and empirical perspectives on the various ways in which gender and sexuality are institutionally and individually perceived, shaped, and performed in Japan. Concerning the topic of gender, students will work with topics that trace the construction and developments of the Japanese gender structure/regime, Japanese perception and performance of femininities and masculinities, as well as how gender affects different aspects of people’s lives, from intimate relationships to their participation in work, family and other social institutions. Gender and sexuality are two topics that are closely intertwined and should be examined in relation. Therefore, the course also examines how sexuality is contoured under the influences of historical and social changes in Japan. By the end of the course, students will be provided with knowledge on how differences and inequalities based on gender and sexuality are created and sustained in Japanese society, and therefore possess sociological understandings of Japanese social structures at the intersection of many local, global and transnational forces.
The seminar focuses on the post-reform period and is organized around the theme of consumption. Consumption is often dealt with in the economic sense, as the other side of production and a portion of GDP. Our interest in this term and its application to Chinese society concerns its sociological meaning, which relates to the use and using up of things (Warde 2005). This approach provides both a thematic guide and a theoretical angle with which to examine key developments in contemporary Chinese society as well as the social practices and institutions therein. The course’s topics include the coalescence of the urban middle-class, the education system and its reforms, food security, user technology (such as WeChat), tourism, ethnicity, and gender. Pairing these topics with an overarching conceptual framework is intended to help prepare students to develop their M.A. thesis on sociological topics relating to China and East Asia. The main course material consists of recent readings in English by renowned Chinese and non-Chinese social scientists.

The central objective of this course is to understand the key aspects of management strategy that help firms gain and sustain competitive advantage. We focus on the case of China where the business environment is characterized by both uncertainty and complexity. By using up-to-date examples, we will examine how single business and multi-business firms succeed through the careful selection of business and corporate strategies. This course will help students familiarize with the business landscape in China.
This course focuses on the international business and comparative management through the lens of content and cultural industry in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Globalisation, digitisation, de-globalisation as well as varieties of institutional environments provide opportunities and challenges to firms. The course uses the various segments of content and cultural industry to provide an understanding of complexities in the global economy. Cultural industries are “systems of organisations that produce and distribute cultural goods with substantive symbolic, aesthetic, or artistic value (Wang et. al., 2020)” Due to their unique characteristics, these industries produce distinctive business dynamics. Among others, East Asian cultural products, e.g., Japanese Anime and K-Pop, are the key cases to account for how international business operates. This course expects students to intensively engage in class discussion accompanied by weekly response papers and a term paper.
