Research Activities at the University
Center for the Study of Human Relations
The Center for the Study of Human Relations, founded in April 2000 at Nanzan University, is based on the original Center for the Study of Human Relations set up in 1977 at Nanzan Junior College. The Center’s activities focus on research and training in the area of “human relations” from the broad perspective of applied behavioral sciences. It functions as one of only a small number of academic research institutions in Japan that conduct experiential learning using the laboratory method, while its bulletin, The Nanzan Journal of Human Relations, reflects research interests at the Center that include humanistic psychology, human-centered education, mind-body integration, group dynamics, and organization development. The Center is committed to providing “human relations training” and facilitation training. The Center has a partnership with NTL Institute in the USA, which founded and then developed T-group and experiential learning using the laboratory method. The Center for Management Studies, founded at Nanzan University in 1985, is involved in the study of modern business management and devotes considerable time and effort to research in Organization Studies, Finance, Marketing, Accounting, and Operations, Information and Technology. As well as encouraging these studies at Nanzan, the Center actively seeks to coordinate independent studies with outside institutions. Other activities of the Center include workshops, research projects, and the publication of monographs.
Center for Science and Engineering
Technology in the fields of computing and communications engineering is progressing at a terrific pace. Tomorrow’s technology will accelerate the changes taking place in society and will push the scope of social activity onto a global scale. To respond to these rapid changes and cater for the accompanying demands from society, Nanzan established the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences and Information Engineering in April 2000 and, four years later, set up the graduate school. The Center was established in April 2005 to provide an outlet for the faculty and the graduate school in terms of their education and research activities, while promoting ties with the community. The Center’s plans involve the promotion of collaborative research with industry (i.e., joint research with corporations and the undertaking of commissioned research), the re-education of the public through open lectures and seminars, and the consolidation and growth of the graduate school through the securing of financial support for its students in the form of scholarships and research funding.
Center for Linguistics
The long-awaited establishment of the Center for Linguistics in 2003 helps Nanzan to continue to be at the forefront of linguistic research. For many years, Nanzan has enjoyed an excellent reputation at home and abroad in the field of linguistics. The Center draws its members from various departments, and one of its main goals is to combine diverse talents across the university in the field to create a forum for collaborative research. Primary research areas represented by its members include comparative syntax, syntaxsemantics interface, and language acquisition.
