#入管法改悪 ってほんとなの？〜国際法から考えてみた〜

  • Zemi：西村ゼミ
  • Instructor：西村 智朗
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

2023年6月に改正された「出入国管理及び難民認定法」（通称改正入管法）は、その内容が国内で賛成/反対の激しい議論を呼んだのは記憶に新しいのだが、一部ではこの改正が国際法に違反すると主張する者もいる。果たしてそれは本当なのか？仮に違反していないとすれば、なぜここまで激論を呼ぶほどになっているのか？今日のグローバル社会において切り離すことのできない「入管問題」について、国際法的観点から考察する。

BL≠LGBTQ？

  • Zemi：鳥山ゼミ
  • Instructor：鳥山 純子
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Featuring same-sex romantic relationships, BL manga initially appears to be a platform that enhances the understanding of LGBTQ themes. However, a comprehensive analysis of multiple BL manga works and their consumer demographics has unveiled the emergence of various misconceptions surrounding same-sex relationships. This presentation aims to delve into the multifaceted role that BL manga plays within contemporary Japanese society. We'll draw comparisons between the fictional world of BL manga and the real-life experiences of LGBTQ individuals, highlighting the disparities and commonalities. In doing so, we hope to shed light on the challenges and complexities that BL manga raises, providing a nuanced perspective on its influence.

なぜ軍縮は実現できないのか

  • Zemi：君島ゼミ
  • Instructor：君島 東彦
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Today, wars and conflicts are still taking place all over the world, and even Japan and other East Asian countries have been expanding their military capabilities. In order to alleviate tensions and realize peace, we think we must not simply stick to the military matters, calling for disarmament. We believe that eliminating the underlying fears rooted in military expansion, and building a relationship of mutual trust will ultimately result in disarmament. By using the example of the Cold War which saw progress in disarmament through improved relations, we would like to explore the possibilities of peacebuilding in Today’s East Asia.

あなたならどこで働く？ ―外国人介護労働者が日本を選ばない理由―

  • Zemi：森岡ゼミ
  • Instructor：森岡 真史
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

For several decades, Japan has been a leading destination for foreign workers from Asian countries. However, in recent years, it is increasingly losing its appeal as the go-to place for employment and less people from Asian countries choose Japan as their workplace. Given the urgent need to address its aging workforce, how can Japan attract more labor, particularly in the care industry, from abroad? By comparing various situations and policies from other countries, we will explore why foreign workers are becoming less inclined to choose Japan as their workplace and what they expect from Japan as an ideal employment destination.

シマえもんとレポート見破り隊

In April 2023, each university posted a warning and cautionary statement for teachers and students regarding Chat GPT, a generative AI that is currently a hot topic.
In response to this, we thought it would be possible to objectively examine the use of Chat GPT through a survey in which university teachers were asked to compare their students' writings on a specific topic with the writings generated by Chat GPT.
Through this survey, both students and teachers will be able to understand the current situation and clarify what they need to do in order to write their assignment reports.

The "Syrian Bridge to Peace and Human Resource Development Program (JISR)" provides educational opportunities to Syrian youth who have been deprived of schooling opportunities due to the Syrian crisis. We actually went to the JICA office in Hiroshima to meet with people who had taken the JISR program. There, we interviewed them about the actual situation of JISR and found out that they had problems that they wanted Japan to improve. We would like to find out how Japanese people can improve on those problems. We will also discuss how we can build a society where the Japanese people and refugees can live together comfortably.

COVID-19 and Gender Gap in Employment in Japan: With a Further Focus on Child-rearing Female Workers

  • Zemi：Yane Zemi
  • Instructor：Yane Haruka
  • Presentation Language：English

The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a spotlight on the existing gender disparities in the Japanese labor market, underscoring the urgency of addressing these inequalities. This study investigates the impact of the pandemic on the gender gap in employment in Japan, delving into the intricate factors such as income, wage, and unemployment rate. We find that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing disparities. This study further explores unique challenges faced by child-rearing female workers in Japan, as a specific case study, to understand the profound and multifaceted impact of the pandemic on the gender gap in employment. Through an interdisciplinary analysis, we try to unravel how COVID-19 has exacerbated existing disparities in employment as well as family-care responsibilities for women in Japan.

The influence of K-Pop in the Perspective of the North Korean Residents

  • Zemi：Nakato Zemi
  • Instructor：Nakato Sachio
  • Presentation Language：English

Our group focused on the influence of Kpop and how it flourished in the North Korean peoples’ mind, which could be introduced as more effective and powerful tools than the atomic bomb in the way how it reshapes peoples’ minds without South Korea's direct interrupt or approach. In order to present our idea, we will guide with some examples of the macro and micro impact of Kpop in North Korea, with examination of soft power. Moreover, the concerns due to the tensions in the region and the international disputes will be introduced, emphasizing the need for strategic and flexible diplomatic efforts, as the use of soft power against North Korea should be approached thoughtfully to address human rights and ultimately work toward peaceful reunification.

A-12 Les Avocates

How much does international law contribute to providing fundamental human rights regarding child labour in the fashion industry?

  • Zemi：Ochi Zemi
  • Instructor：Ochi Megumi
  • Presentation Language：English

This research is grounded in a comprehensive exploration of the privatised fast fashion industry's concerning issue of child labour. It employs a two-pronged approach, incorporating case studies and analysis, which draws strength from internationally recognised conventions and laws addressing child labour. Through an examination of real-world case studies, this research uncovers the complexities and nuances of child labour practices in the industry, shedding light on the crucial role played by all actors. The analysis is informed by international conventions and laws, establishing a benchmark for ethical and legal standards. The summation of empirical evidence from the case studies and a framework provided by international regulations lends compelling support to the assertion that reinforcing corporate accountability represents a promising avenue for mitigating child labour within privatised fast fashion, ultimately fostering a more ethical and responsible industry.

F・R・I・E・N・D・S: Community Formation and Belonging in College of IR

Our group made an observation that many of the foreign students and Japanese students do not socialize much outside of class. It is common to see foreign students mingle with each other rather than see an international group of students socializing. Therefore, we decided to explore the topic of community formation and belonging at Ritsumeikan University, College of IR. We will organize fieldwork and surveys to determine the patterns and backgrounds behind this phenomenon. Our group would also use our experience to compare and contrast the situation at American University and Ritsumeikan University. Interviewing different students from the JDP program and other foreign students, as well as Japanese students from both IR and GS students would provide us with insight from different perspectives.

韓国ドラマにおける化粧品の間接広告の現状と展望

  • Zemi：中川ゼミ
  • Instructor：中川 涼司
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Korean dramas frequently employ "Product Placement" (PPL), a marketing strategy integrating products into the storyline for enhanced brand visibility. Have you ever watched a drama and thought, "I want to own that same lipstick the lead character is using"? We are embarking on a research initiative in South Korea, involving interviews with Korean students, to explore the effectiveness and public perception of Product Placement. Our goal is to understand how Product Placement influences consumer choices and how it molds the image of the featured products in the context of the Korean entertainment industry, providing valuable insights into this advertising method's impact.

We will uncover the true impact of Fairtrade with some data and case studies conducted by researchers.

Our presentation explores the transitions toward the values of gender in Japanese society and the society itself by looking at the changing representations of gender seen in a Japanese popular animation, Crayon Shin-chan, which all Japanese have seen at least once in their childhood. The reasons of choosing this animation are that it has a long series and be loved by not only Japanese people but also people from all over the world. In addition, it has changed its way of approach to represent the images of gender by times to be more acceptable to the masses. This transition helps us understand the attitudes towards gender.

We then examine how the design of a CCA affects its political influence by comparing each case.

Southeast Asia is experiencing the rapid economic growth. However, it is also true that it continues to have a negative impact on the environment. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Japan-ASEAN friendship, and we believe this is a year in which we should work together to explore ways we can improve each other. To do so, we will focus on issues related to “water” and “forests" that we have seen with our own eyes in the region. Water is necessary for us to live, and the forest continues to supply it. We will consider how we can approach these environmental issues in Southeast Asia from the perspective of Japanese things that are familiar to our lives.

Starbucks' Supply Chain: Unveiling its Labor Practices in the Americas

  • Zemi：Amekawa Zemi
  • Instructor：Amekawa Yuichiro
  • Presentation Language：English

Our research team’s objective is to provide insights into the business structure of the coffee industry in the Americas. Through this examination, we shed light on questionable business practices employed by global corporations in the context of labor and employment within the global supply chain. Specifically, our analysis delves into the complex issues of child labor and worker exploitation. Our primary focus is Starbucks, one of the world’s most successful coffee shop chains, which frequently touts its commitment to corporate social responsibility. However, allegations have surfaced, claiming that the company employs children as young as eight years old and individuals from marginalized communities for minimal compensation. This question of corporate integrity has prompted our investigation into this global coffee giant from various comparative perspectives.

Love, Money, and Lover Boys: Exploring Japanese Host Clubs’ Commodified Intimacy and Consequences

  • Zemi：Tsujimoto Zemi
  • Instructor：Tsujimoto Toshiko
  • Presentation Language：English

The research project delves into the enigmatic world of Japanese host clubs, where the sale of affection and dreams unfolds. Researching into the perspective of female consumers of host clubs, the intricate dynamics between male hosts and their female clientele, as well as the commodification of intimacy, are exposed. Beyond the glittering façade, the repercussions of such transactional affection are the social and emotional costs borne by the female consumers, leading to extreme cases of some patrons being entangled with a perilous cycle of compensated dating and prostitution to finance their loving entertainment in host clubs. Therefore, the research project aims to analyze the Japanese host club phenomenon, highlighting the complexities that blur the lines between commodified fantasy and brutal reality prompted by the need for love.

B-13 Barbie Army

Barbie-ism: Beyond the Plastic Dream

When Barbie first appeared in 1959, she had a career, providing an alternative to traditional gender roles to young girls. However, her idealized feminine form soon overshadowed those values. Mattel strategically expanded its Barbie business beyond just a plastic doll by trading its licensing and making other Barbie commodities. Attention and controversies brought by different levels of consumers such as children, parents, critics, and fans gradually stabilized Barbie’s iconic but complicated status. In 2023, a new Barbie movie was sensationally released and caused a global phenomenon. The movie recalled the feminist controversy, and obsession with pink, and even led to political debate, yet financially well-succeeded.

韓国から現金が消える！？〜日韓のキャッシュレス比較〜

  • Zemi：中川ゼミ
  • Instructor：中川 涼司
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Modern Japan is now able to choose from a wide variety of payment methods, including cash, credit cards, code payments and transportation ICs etc....While a huge number of cashless payment methods have become widespread in Japan, why do they not reduce the number of cases in which cash is needed? In order to find this answer, we conducted market research mainly in the ganjang market and surveys from local students related to cashless trends in Korea in Seoul, Korea. Then in our presentation, we will analyze the differences between cashless powerhouse Korea and Japan and examine future trends in cash use in Japan.

脱毛ブームーそのお金、ムダ毛よりもムダ？？―

  • Zemi：白戸ゼミ
  • Instructor：白戸 圭一
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

"Would you like to get hair removal?"
Walking down the street, opening your smartphone - everywhere you go, you're encouraged to get hair removal. But can you really do it for just 100 yen? Will you receive gift vouchers? And, in the first place, why do they want us to get hair removal so badly? Exploring the many questions that arise about the hair removal industry and investigating the social structures that support it through extensive research in various directions, we delve into the truth of the continuously growing hair removal industry. What surrounds us may be a "hollow" hair removal craze.

日本の物流運送業界の革命

  • Zemi：星野ゼミ
  • Instructor：星野 郁
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Isn't it convenient to have packages delivered to your home?
Don't you take that routine for granted?
The declining birthrate and aging population in modern Japan is a serious problem, and it is spreading to the transportation industry. There is a noticeable shortage of truck drivers, and while the number of "things to carry" is rising, the number of "people who can carry" is greatly inadequate, making it impossible to keep up with the increasing number of deliveries.
We will continue to send packages to each other over the Internet and to other people.
Therefore, we will clarify the challenges of the transportation industry to the current situation and explore how logistics should be.

上勝町の「葉っぱビジネス」から見る高齢化社会を「いろどる」要素とは？

  • Zemi：松田ゼミ
  • Instructor：松田 正彦
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

In Japan, the number of elderly people is growing more and more. Because of that, the way of maintaining the social security system and the poor quality of life of elderly people are becoming severe problems. Therefore, we investigated the “Leaf business” in Kamikatsu-cho, Tokushima, where elderly people are really active. From fieldwork, we analyzed “Leaf business” because we thought there were some elements in this business that could be reasons for social participation and purpose in life for elderly people, not just earning money. We will consider what is needed to make a society where people shine, including elderly people.

味の素とガーナにおけるソーシャルビジネスの限界

  • Zemi：渡邉（松）ゼミ

  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Did you know the importance of nutrition for the first 1,000 days of your life? If you do not get enough nutrition, kids will lose their opportunity to grow in the first 1,000 days. As a result, kids' growth can not be regained.
In Ghana, many children are facing developmental inhibition. To solve this issue, Ajinomoto has created the “KOKO Plus”. The project is about improving the nutrition issue for children in Ghana.
However, the “KOKO Plus” project is called social business but this project is in deficit. We will approach the sustainability of social business, taking the “KOKO Plus” as an example.

J-POPとK-POPの比較と韓流ブームからみる文化の海外搬出

  • Zemi：中本ゼミ
  • Instructor：中本 真生子
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

We seek ways to export J-POP more internationally. As a comparison, we will use South Korea's K-POP. We will compare K-POP and J-POP in terms of both domestic and international sales, as well as in terms of CD sales. This trend can be seen as continuing from the first Korean boom. There are four Korean booms and all booms became successful. On the other hand, J-pop has had less influence outside of Japan. Therefore, we will read effective strategies from the successive Korean booms and seek new strategies to bring Japanese J-POP out to the rest of the world. Moreover, we will find the characteristics of both cultures.

メディアが生み出した地下アイドルとイメージ消費

  • Zemi：大山ゼミ
  • Instructor：大山 真司
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

We conducted a study on "underground idols" to better understand the distinctions between mainstream and underground idols.
Given the challenge of differentiating between these categories, our aim was to elucidate the concept of underground idols by examining public perceptions.
Our research methodology involved conducting a comparative analysis of the prevailing perceptions of both groups.
Regarding underground idols, we obtained insights through interviews with their fans, surveys, and direct interactions with the idols by attending their concerts. In the case of mainstream idols, data collection was primarily conducted through surveys.
The findings revealed notable variations in the perceptions held by different individuals, suggesting that media played a significant role in shaping these perceptions.

フェアトレードプレミアムの有効活用～意思決定プロセスの視点から考える～

  • Zemi：植松ゼミ
  • Instructor：植松 大輝
  • Presentation Language：Japanese

Fair trade is a system that aims to improve the lives and independence of producers in developing countries through fair and equitable trade, but do you know how producers use the money they earn through trade? The use of the incentive money, called Fairtrade Premium, which is added to the price of the product, is decided by the producers' associations, and is used in more diverse ways than we can imagine. We focused on the differences in the decision-making process of producer associations, which we considered to be related to such diversity in the use of premiums, and explored what kind of decision-making process would be desirable for the more effective use of premiums.

Redefining BRICSian Stereotypes: Uncovering the True Intentions of the Rising Global South Economic Forum

  • Zemi：Ataka Zemi
  • Instructor：Ataka Hiroaki
  • Presentation Language：English

In light of the recent BRICS summit in South Africa, which revealed the upcoming expansion of this economic alliance of Global South countries with the inclusion of six new members, discussions arise regarding whether BRICS’ growth will eventually lead to a shift in the global economic order. However, whether BRICS aims to do so remains a mere speculation. Accordingly, this research qualitatively examines the language of BRICS’ summits, communiqués, and official statements, juxtaposed with the discourse surrounding the alliance from experts to unveil the true intentions of BRICS and elucidate whether the widespread narrative of BRICS’ challenge toward the Western-led international order is just a mere overreaction by the Global North.

Naming Hunger: Problematizing Food Wealth Narratives at Ritsumeikan University

  • Ritsumeikan Food Bank
  • Presentation Language：English

Have you eaten today? What did you eat for breakfast? Most people pay no attention to such simple questions, but for food-insecure individuals, it can invoke feelings of discomfort and shame. While most think that people who are food insecure live in a different world than your own, these people could very well be people in your own community. For this reason, our research aims to quantitatively assess the extent to which students at our institution are impacted by food insecurity. Our primary goal is to define and shed light on food insecurity and identify its prevalence among the student population. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive campus environment where every student's basic needs are met.
