"Thinking About Thinking"
　講師：バーバラ　モリソン 氏（宇都宮大学国際学部　講師）

Engaging skillfully with the world around us is fundamental to positioning ourselves as global subjects. The quality of this engagement is determined by the quality of our thinking. In this class we will each be actively participating in the development of our thinking; how to raise vital questions, issues and/or problems; how to gather and assess relevant information; how to build an argument by coming to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, and finally; how to communicate effectively in figuring out and presenting these solutions to one another.

分科会Ａ："Basics of International Communications"
　講師：我孫子　和夫 氏（元ＡＰ通信社北東アジア総支配人、宇都宮大学非常勤講師）

This session is intended to assist students to acquire a broader knowledge about international communications, with a main emphasis placed on the role of international news media. Since they distribute news to people around the world, they must always provide news in a global perspective – a clear distinction from Japanese domestic news media that furnish news to Japanese people. During this session, the lecturer will also offer tips on how to write news stories in English. As a form of communications, news writing should be clear, concise, accurate and interesting. This should help you refine your English-language writing skills.

分科会Ｃ： "Thinking Without Borders"
　講師：バーバラ　モリソン 氏（宇都宮大学国際学部　講師）

Mutual cooperation, diversity training, international understanding are terms that many of us hear on a regular basis. In this class we will be exploring the ways in which we as individuals engage with these ideas. What do these notions entail on a personal level and how can we put these ideas into effect in our daily lives? For our purposes, and in thinking about a kind of thinking that is both critical, self-conscious and culturally aware, we will be conceiving of “culture” not as something “out there” which needs to be “attained,” but as a form of practice and an attitude with which we engage on a daily basis.

分科会Ｄ："Latin America and the Global Economy"　
　講師：スエヨシ　アナ 氏（宇都宮大学国際学部　講師）

Almost every country in the world has been affected directly or indirectly by the protracted global economic crisis, which started in 2008 after the so-called Lehman shock. However, the crisis has had more devastating effects on economies that once were considered traditionally the strongest, the northern hemisphere countries. In the meantime Latin American economies have been buffering the financial crisis impact, by strengthening south-south relationships and by benefiting from the BRIC’s economic expansion. This lecture aims at explaining the new trends in Latin America regarding its relationship with China, and encouraging the discussion on the beneficial and detrimental effects, and mid and long-term perspectives in Latin America.
