Department of Socio-Media Studies Information and Social Design Program

We are not necessarily living only in the "real society" now. The internet, social media, and the VR space. We live across various societies and spaces, both real and virtual. In such a situation, it is necessary to "update" all kinds of ideas such as existing ways of thinking about society, norms, legal systems, and ethics. In this major, students will consider how society itself can be designed and how to live based on the concept of sociology.

The technology of networking and the rapid development of AI are changing our society itself. What kind of society needs to be designed using new technology? In order to design change rather than chasing change, we will thoroughly learn about the relationship between the latest technology and society.

In order to design your own society in modern society, you need data analysis techniques and programming skills. What kind of data do you need to know what you want to know, how do you analyze it, and what kind of programming skills do you need to do so? I will actually move my hands and make it my own strength.
