Introduction to the History of Nagoya University
Takuji YOSHIKAWA Professor
Department: Institute of Liberal Arts & Sciences
| Class Time: | 2016 Spring Tuesday |
| Recommended for: | All Nagoya University students |
Course Overview
Course Overview
The first and foremost objective of this course is to acquaint 1st year students with the history of Nagoya University, beginning with Nagoya Imperial University, which was formed 77 years ago, and including the Predecessor School, a total of 145 years. Through this course, students can deepen their understanding of Nagoya University which will be their place of learning for at least 4 years or more, if they enter graduate school. This will help establish their identities as NU students. In addition, this course intends to familiarize students with a history of Japanese higher education after Meiji Restoration, and regional history of Nagoya.
This course is divided into two modules, namely: general overview modules and in-depth modules. In the general overview modules, we will study the history of NU chronologically, and in the in-depth modules, we will set a theme for each session that will explain in more depth.
Key Features
In these lectures, we try to enable students to keep the standard academic knowledge of the Nagoya University’s history in mind while having fun. Though we will base the class on books containing proper academic content like "50 Years of History of Nagoya University", we will also make full use of other contents including "History of Nagoya University Booklet", "Bit of Nagoya University history" and other exhibition materials, movies, etc. created by Nagoya University Archives in order to make the University's history easier for students to learn. We also incorporate the regional historical perspectives by describing the University’s history in relation to the development of Nagoya city and surrounding areas. Furthermore, by inviting the current President of Nagoya University as a guest speaker, we want to make students understand what kind of vision Nagoya University has to enhance education and research activities through its history.
