2025年12月６日土曜日に午前10時から午後18時まで国際地域学科・沼尾ゼミと久松ゼミは、専修大学経済学部国際経済学科・狐崎ゼミと学生総勢42人で合同ゼミを実施しました。午前中は、久松ゼミ３年生がアイスブレイクを実施しました。気分がほぐれた各グループで６号館学生食堂で昼ご飯を食べた後に、東京大学文学部教授・中村雄祐先生を迎えて、『本と私とあなた』というお題で複数学問分野（神経科学、認知科学、心理学、社会疫学、出版研究、漫画研究など）にまたがって人工物と私と社会の関係について講義をうけました。そのあとに、事前課題として持参した自分にとっての大事な本をグループ内、教室内でプレゼン練習しました。さらに、クラウド上のスライドに本のお勧めプレゼンを作り、各自がプレゼンをおこないました。そのあと、気になった本を投票し、投票結果と共に講評を受け、合同ゼミは終了しました。

AI時代に、知覚・認知・運動の重要性と解像度を研ぎ澄ませた合同ゼミになりました。この合同ゼミが参加者それぞれの新たな中継点になることを期待しています。

Department of Regional Development Studies Holds Joint Seminar with Senshu University

On Saturday, December 6, 2025, the Numao and Hisamatsu Seminars (Department of Regional Development Studies) hosted a joint seminar with the Kozaki Seminar (Department of International Economics, School of Economics, Senshu University). Held from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the event brought together 42 students for a day of cross-university collaboration.

The morning session began with an ice-breaker led by third-year students from the Hisamatsu Seminar to spark interaction. Following lunch at the Building 6 cafeteria, the group welcomed Professor Yusuke Nakamura (Faculty of Letters, The University of Tokyo). His special lecture (Title: “Book, Me, and You”) explored the relationship between artifacts, individuals, and society traversing through diverse lenses, including neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, social epidemiology, publication studies, and manga studies.

In the afternoon, students participated in a book presentation session. Based on pre-assigned tasks, students introduced a book of personal significance using slides created on a cloud-based platform. Following the formal presentations, participants voted for the most compelling books, and the session concluded with feedback and results announcement.

In the era of AI, this seminar provided a valuable platform for students to sharpen their perception, cognition, and expressive skills through intensive, collaborative learning. We hope this joint seminar will serve as a new point of connection and transition for every participant.
