Sato Madoka (Professor)
My specialty is historical research on America, but in my classes and seminars I explore themes from the history and current situation not only of America but also around the world, and learn together with my students about the question of whether different races and ethnicities can coexist in the same society.
History (American History), Native American Studies
Historical studies of Native Americans and racial and ethnic relations in the United States
Looking around the world today, we can see that conflicts and disputes over "race" and "ethnicity" continue in many places. In this seminar, we will look at and compare "race" and "ethnicity" issues not only in the United States but also around the world to examine why people continue to be obsessed with "race" and "ethnicity" and antagonize each other, and what concepts "race" and "ethnicity" are in the first place.
