Naoya Sekiya, Professor
0 student voices
The Sekiya Lab studies information, and people's psychology and behavior, during disasters from a social science perspective. The lab believes that what truly causes hardship is not the events themselves, such as earthquakes and floods, but the damage and turmoil that people and society suffer afterward. Using interview surveys, questionnaire surveys, social experiments, and statistical analysis, the lab empirically investigates evacuation behavior, disruption in consumption, and social phenomena during the recovery period. Focusing mainly on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident of Tokyo Electric Power Company, the lab also studies evacuation during nuclear disasters and social impacts such as reputational damage.
Soichiro Takagi, Professor

The Takagi Lab uses economics to empirically study the impact of information technology on society. The lab also explores methods for creating innovation and the shape of new economic systems. At the core is the concept of Deframing, which consists of three elements: the "unbundling and recombination" of businesses, the "individual optimization" of products and services, and the "individualization" of ways of working. The lab approaches its research from two sides: creating innovation based on Deframing, and analyzing its effects on the economy, such as industrial structure and ways of working.
Toru Fujimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Fujimoto Lab (Ludix Lab) studies learning content that creates "enjoyable experiences" leading to people's learning and growth, as well as methods for designing educational programs. The lab works on designing learning with games, developing teaching materials that incorporate gamification, and supporting learning in online education. The lab's research is grounded in the fields of educational technology and instructional systems design. It also develops game-based learning apps for English and mathematics, as well as card games for career education.
Yukio Maeda, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies what voters think about politics and how they vote in elections. Its main research method is the analysis of data collected through questionnaires. The lab is interested in how the social environments people live in and the information they get from the media affect their political behavior and attitudes. In graduate school, the lab accepts students from any field, as long as their interests connect, in a broad sense, with either "politics" or "quantitative data."
Kyo Kageura, Professor

The Library and Information Science Lab studies how knowledge and information can be collected, organized, and made usable, from a social perspective that centers on libraries and people. Its themes range widely, from libraries and the nature of books to web technologies, the organization and representation of knowledge, the structure of specialized vocabularies, and translation studies. The lab's basic philosophy is to think about technology from the standpoint of supporting people's intellectual learning. Graduate students carry out research on their own topics under supervision, and report on their progress at a joint lab seminar attended by all graduate students and faculty members.
Yasufumi Horikawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Horikawa Lab studies the history of the period known as Japan's "medieval" era (11th to 16th centuries). It is especially interested in the Nanbokucho civil wars of the 14th century and the social changes of that time. Prof. Horikawa has been involved in surveying and researching historical sources on Japanese history and publishing collections of them at the Historiographical Institute, and in recent years has also worked on developing and managing historical databases. The lab is also interested in research on Japanese history conducted outside Japan.
Hiroyuki Ogawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Ogawa Lab mainly studies the diplomatic history, imperial history, and political history of Britain after World War II. The lab is also interested in the history of the Commonwealth (the British Commonwealth of Nations), as well as international political history and international relations more broadly. The lab has also taken part in joint research on the history of international political thought, maritime history, religious history, and the history of science and technology. Including these areas, the lab finds it appealing to think from the perspective of global history.
Oda Takashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Oda Lab studies the many faces of disasters and cities from a geographical perspective. The lab researches disaster prevention education and awareness-raising in schools and communities in collaboration with researchers in Japan and abroad, and is also involved in developing training programs and teaching materials. The lab also studies the places and people that pass on the memories and lessons of disasters, as well as approaches to disaster preparedness in North American cities.
Yuhei Yamauchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamauchi Lab studies how to design environments that support learning so that learning can be effectively facilitated. Learning is a complex phenomenon that occurs within a delicate balance among the people who support learners, the peers who learn together with them, and artifacts such as media. The lab examines learning environments from the perspectives of space, activities, community, and artifacts, and clarifies them through practice-based research. Graduate students conduct research on learners of a wide range of ages, from young children to working adults, and come from various fields including psychology, education, and information engineering.
Jun Yamana, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamana Lab studies human “growth” and education in the fields of philosophy of education and the history of ideas. By examining, through philosophy and the history of ideas, the notions and values that people are bound by without realizing it, the lab relativizes them and explores new interpretations of education and “growth.” Recently, the lab has been developing “Memory Pedagogy,” an approach that reconsiders education from the perspectives of collective memory and the culture of remembrance.
