Course Description

這是一門介紹東亞社會的課程,旨在培養學生對台灣、南韓和日本三個社會的知識與比較視野,修課同學有機會參與臺大社會系與京都大學、首爾大學社會系合作交流的Junior Sociologist Workshop進行。

特別說明:臺大社會學系每年暑期與京都大學、首爾大學共同舉辦 East Asian Junior Sociologists Workshop。這項以學生為參與主體的學術交流活動,每年輪流在京都、首爾、台北舉辦。交流活動共五天,前三天由在地學校安排具有社會學研究意義的田野實地觀察,讓學生從田野中了解當地社會議題,並與其他東亞社會做比較。後面兩天則為論文研討會,由學生發表論文,進行討論。這項學術交流,2022年夏天將在臺灣舉行。由於此為系級的交流活動,所以有興趣參與的同學,必須具備社會系、或社會系雙修生的身份。本課程鼓勵社會系(含雙主修)的修課學生參與夏天舉行的East Asian Junior Sociologists Workshop,但這並非修課的強制規定。
