Outline and Purpose of the Course	[Theme：Family and Society in Southeast Asia]In a large part of Southeast Asia, aging of the population has become a recognized issue. In the meantime, there is increasing mobility both domestic and international. How are these processes affecting the realm of the family which constitute the foundation of everyday life? How has the family been described and theorized within society to begin with, and how is this evolving in the face of current changes? This class will consider both anthropological theories, micro-level ethnographic perspectives especially in Southeast and East Asia on the one hand, as well as the institutional and ideological developments on the macro level from past to present, following relevant research trends. Moreover, it will address some contemporary issues such as migrant labor, aging and care in relation to the family, and discuss how the family realm is relevant to the study of the region. There will be lectures, presentations by class participants, as well as discussion. There may be some changes in the contents and method depending on the number and constitution of the class members.
Course Goals	1) To better understand fundamental issues related to the family and society, and be able to discuss these from a comparative perspective. 2) To increase understanding of the characteristics and current trends in Southeast Asian society in preparation for the participant's own research.
