AERA DIGITAL features an interview article with Ichiro Kogawa Vice President titled "Transform Yourself and Society! The Potential of Humanities Majors Expanding Through Data Science" Featured in AERA DIGITAL.
An interview article (article advertisement) featuring our university's Vice President Ichiro Kogawa (Professor Faculty of Sociology) has been published on the Asahi Shimbun Publishing web media "AERA DIGITAL."
Data science education has been increasingly adopted in many educational institutions in recent years. At first glance, it may seem like a science field, but Vice President Konokawa says, "Data science is essential for the humanities and serves as a tool to broaden the base of innovation."
The article clearly explains that the true importance of data science lies not in "statistical or programming skills" itself but in the purpose of "what kinds of problems to solve and how," and the potential applications in humanities fields such as humanities and social sciences.
It also introduces practical initiatives in seminars, the Musashi University 's "Expertise × Data Science" curriculum that will further develop from 2027, and learning as a "common language" that enables collaboration with science and engineering talent. Please take a look.
