Consequently, globalization profoundly impacts our sense of identity and belonging, our notions of home and community, and our ideals of a good life and good society. This seminar welcomes students who are interested in pursuing the following research areas: international migration\/cross border population movements, identity and citizenship issues; dynamics and processes of cultural changes and cultural creation; the formation of new forms of local and global community; and issues of social equality and justice under globalization. Students who participate in this seminar are encouraged not only to examine the global dynamics that affect local practices, but also to explore how micro-level transnational practices have produced social and cultural changes in different societies.<\/p>\n<h3>Course List<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100001042_en.html#item_syllabus_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Course List<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Web Page \/ Researcher DB<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100001042_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waseda University Researchers Database<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Faculty Spotlights<\/h3>\n<h5>\u203bPlease click the thumbnail below to view the detailed version (PDF) or the interview video.<\/h5>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\"><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 80.8568%; height: 20px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 27px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 40.4739%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\">\n<h6>\u25c6Digital Book<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 38.9178%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\">\n<h6>\u25c6Interview Video<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 10px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 40.4739%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/02\/english_facultyspotlights.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/02\/5e46bd58a06d79c3a8ef59f8dd301928.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"218\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 38.9178%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Prof.-Gracia_hqdefault.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"172\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"\/fire\/gsaps\/en\/about\/faculty\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u203b4<br \/>Professor<br \/>International Migration, Social Stratification and Inequality, Globalization, International Education<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1676"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17352,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1676\/revisions\/17352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
