In this project research, students are expected to utilize one (or more) of four academic disciplines, namely, political science, economics, sociology and anthropology, to approach educational development of their area of interest or international exchange\/cooperation activities in the field of education. Alternatively, students may approach the issues from the perspectives of educational sub-sectors, such as inclusive education, higher education and quality of education after they learn significant technical knowledge on these sub-sectors.<\/p>\n<h3>Course List<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100000704_en.html#item_syllabus_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Course List<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Web Page \/ Researcher DB<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100000704_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waseda University Researchers Database<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=yB0ZjIIAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Scholar\u202c<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/researchmap.jp\/read0113089\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">researchmap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N425Nx_4V9g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interview \u201cInclusive education will improve the quality of education,\u201d with Kazuo Kuroda, JICA RI &#8211;
