Overview of Survey

This survey was conducted with a grant from the -Japan Foundation (AJF), in order to understand how Australian Studies and education relating to Australia are currently carried out in Japanese universities; it will serve as basic information in order to stimulate Japanese-Australian research and educational exchanges. The following is an overview of the survey.

Survey period: September to November 2017

Survey method: questionnaire-type survey carried out online (using Google Forms) The questionnaire is included at the end of this paper (Appendix 1 on p.11).

Survey participants: The survey was aimed at members of academic societies thought to be directly linked to Australian Studies. Firstly, members were requested to give answers to the web survey through the member's mailing list of the Australian Studies Association of Japan. Following this, members of the Japanese Society for Oceanic Studies, the Society of Oceanian Education Studies, and the Australia and New Zealand Literary Society of Japan were also asked in a similar fashion.

Total number of replies: 43

Survey Results

1.The academic societies with which the respondents are affiliated (academic societies related to Australian Studies only)

Figure 1: Please tell us which academic society you are affiliated with (academic societies related to Australian Studies only).

ASAJ (Australian Studies Association of Japan) JSOS (Japanese Society for Oceanic Studies) JAAE (Japanese Association for Asian Englishes) LSJ (Linguistic Society of Japan) JSOES (Japan Society of Oceanian Economic Studies) JSCA (Japanese Society for Cultural Anthropology) ANZLSJ (Australia and New Zealand Literary Society of Japan) JSSJMC (Japan Society for Studies in Journalism and Mass Communication)

Respondents were able to give multiple responses when asked which academic society they are affiliated with. Of those who responded, 34 (79.1%) replied that they are only members of the Australian Studies Association of Japan, and 3 (7.0%) said that they are only members of the Japanese Society for Oceanic Studies. In terms of memberships of other academic societies, one person (2.3%) gave the name of a single association (The Japan Society for Studies in Journalism and Mass Communication). Four respondents (9.3%) belong to multiple societies, with two (4.7%) belonging to both the Australian Studies Association of Japan and the Japanese Society for Oceanic

Studies. One person (2.3%) responded that they do not belong to any society. This result (that more people belong to the Australian Studies Association of Japan) may have been influenced by the fact that the survey was an Australian Studies Association of Japan survey, but it can also be said that there is a high level of awareness of the Australian Studies Association of Japan and the Japanese Society for Oceanic Studies as academic societies relating to Australian Studies, based on their names (Figure 1). Among the answers showing multiple societies to which respondents are affiliated, the Australia and New Zealand Literary Society of Japan, the Japanese Association for Asian Englishes, the Linguistic Society of Japan, the Japan Society of Oceanian Economic Studies, and the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology were included, in addition to the Australian Studies Association of Japan and the Japanese Society for Oceanic Studies. As the question limited answers to "academic societies related to Australian Studies only," there were few respondents who gave the names of multiple societies to which they belonged. However, Australian Studies is area study, simultaneously requiring multidisciplinary methods, and from these responses it is possible to glimpse the wide-ranging methodologies, and perceptions of the region, of those academic societies made up of interested people. (Yuka Ishii)

2.Courses including content relating to Australian Studies

When respondents were asked whether there are courses that include content relating to Australian Studies in either undergraduate or post-graduate programs of their universities, 20 people (46.5%) said “Yes,” and 23 people (53.5%) answered “No” (Figure 2). Those who had answered “Yes” were asked for the specific content and the course titles; courses which focus mainly on Australia with their titles including the term "Australia" were the most common (Appendix 2 on p. 14). Such courses included "Modern Australia," "Learning Australia," and "Australian Society and Culture." In addition, there were subjects that covered Australian culture such as "Theories of Australian Culture A," "Theories of Australian Culture B," "Australian Culture," and "Australian Minority Cultures and Education," and subjects seem to handle international relations between Australia and other regions such as "Australia and the International Community" and "Theories of Asia-Australia Relations." "Economic Theories of Australia," "Language Education Policies in Australia," and "The Study of Colonialism and Through Cultural Expression in Australia and New Zealand" were also noted.

Figure 2: Are there any courses that include content relating to Australian Studies in either undergraduate or post-graduate programs of your university?

Courses in which content relating to Australia is taught as part of Oceanian studies were the second-most prevalent. They were "Introduction to Oceanian Studies 1," "Introduction to Oceanian Studies 2," "Topics in Oceanian Studies," " and Japan," "Theories of and Society," and "Regional Studies (Oceania)," as well as "Pan-Pacific Immigration" and "Oceanian Security Studies" and others. In addition, Australia is covered as part of the English-speaking world in courses such as "International Relations between English-speaking Countries." Some content relating to Australia is covered even within subjects related to specific fields of study, such as cultural anthropology, sociology, earth sciences, and tourism. These courses include "Cultural Anthropology," "An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology," "Cultural Sociology," "Sociology of Cultures in Transition," "Earth Sciences," "Environmental and Geographic Information System Theories," "Urban Tourism," and "Theories of Cross-cultural Communication." Courses such as "Comparative Culture Theories," "Theories of Ethnicity," and "Foreign Journalism Ia" were also mentioned. In addition, some respondents answered that content relating to Australia is even covered in "Southeast Asian Geographical Features" and "Globalization and Culture," as well as in seminars and research for graduation. In terms of more specific topics addressed in these courses, indigenous people, immigrants and refugees, and multiculturalism were the most prevalent. Australian

5 nature, geography, history, tourism, education, and whaling issues were also given. Additionally, content that broadly covers Australia in general, such as history, economics, politics, culture, and society, was noted. (Tomoko Fujita)

3.Official partnerships with Australian Universities

When asked whether their affiliated university or research institution has an official partnership (e.g. international exchange agreement, joint degrees) with an Australian university, 27 (63%) of the 43 respondents said there is a partnership, and the remaining 16 (37%) answered that there is not a partnership (Figure 3). Looking at the responses that say there is a partnership, the majority are exchange agreements with universities/faculties (Appendix 3 on p. 16). In the main, these are agreements that focus on mutual student exchange between partner schools, such as mutual acceptance of students (including overseas exchange), joint degrees, and the acceptance of students for language training. There are many cases where there is only one partnered university in Australia. However, there are also cases where there are agreements with multiple universities, including agreements with three universities (University of Tsukuba, The University of Kitakyushu), seven universities (Otemon Gakuin University), and nine universities (Waseda University). (Jun Tsutsumi)

4.Accepting researchers from Australia based on official partnerships

When respondents were asked whether their affiliated university or research institution accepts researchers from Australia in an official context, such as a research or education exchange agreement, 9 (20.9%) answered yes (their university/institution does accept researchers), and 34 (79.1%) replied no (their university/institution does not accept researchers) (Figure 4).

Figure 4: Does your university or research institution officially accept researchers from Australia, such as a research/education exchange agreement?

In terms of the specific details of this acceptance, Table 1 shows only those responses that describe the particulars. There were few positive responses, and it is difficult to observe a general trend from the free descriptions given, but they do reveal a certain degree of research exchange and educational exchange. (Yuka Ishii)

Table 1: The specific details of acceptance We accept researchers from Australia (English education (Griffith University)). Two Australian sociology professors and one psychology professor are registered as cooperative researchers. We accept Australian sociologists as visiting professors, etc. Faculty members of Tourism in the Business School of The University of Queensland are affiliated with Wakayama University as Distinguished Professors. Each year, they hold intensive courses, and guide graduate students through research meetings.

7

Each faculty accepts researchers independently. Graduate students in the final stage of their doctorate study overseas for short periods.

5.Carrying out research projects relating to Australian Studies

When asked whether they had carried out any research projects in the last five years with content relating to Australian Studies, 25 of the respondents (58.1%) said "Yes," and 18 (41.9%) answered "No" (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Have you carried out any research projects in the last five years with content relating to Australian Studies?

Those who had answered "Yes" were asked what kind of research project they had carried out (Appendix 4 on p. 18). Firstly, in terms of finances/funding, a great number of the projects had received Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (including Grants-in-Aid for JSPS Research Fellows). Respondents were also noted other types of funding such as an MHLW grant, an Australia-Japan Foundation Grant, grants from the Shibusawa Foundation for Ethnological Studies, and other grants from private foundations. The topics of the research were wide-ranging, but when broadly categorized, themes relating to immigration, tourism, indigenous peoples, and economics and trade were relatively numerous. Firstly, policies concerning ethnic minorities, Asian migrant professionals, multiculturalism, and Japanese communities in Australia are relevant to

8 the theme of immigration. Further, in terms of the theme of tourism, working holidays, social minorities and tourist attractions, and tourism policies were noted. Drinking issues, and ethic relations between indigenous people and refugees were given in relation to indigenous peoples. In terms of the theme of economics and trade, the Japanese-Australia trade relationship, local economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia and free trade agreements, and the Japanese food industry in Australia were mentioned. It is also understood that research relating to topics such as education, families, medicine, and even theater and movies is being carried out. The number of people involved in the projects ranged from one person to ten, and there were several projects that involved researchers from Australia. The researchers from Australia were said to be affiliated with the University of Sydney, The University of Queensland, Australian National University, Curtin University, and Edith Cowan University. Research periods varied from a single year to four years. Many of the projects that received funding from private foundations lasted for a single year. None of the respondents said that they were participating in an industry-academic-government collaboration project, but as described above, there were those who obtained funding from private foundations, and others who have participating in research groups run by public offices. (Tomoko Fujita)

Conclusion

The characteristics of trends in Australian Studies and education in Japan, made clear through this survey, are summarized as follows:

1. When looking at the academic societies with which the respondents are affiliated, it is apparent that, to a certain degree, academic societies specializing in certain areas, such as the Australian Studies Association of Japan and the Japanese Society for Oceanic Studies, function as places that attract Japanese researchers studying Australia. 2. Courses relating to Australia are carried out in close to 20 universities, slightly less than half the responses. Australia-related content is covered in a wide range of subjects, including subjects focusing on Australia itself, subjects relating to Oceania and English-speaking countries, and subjects relating to individual fields of study. The themes and content covered are also varied. 3. Approximately two of every three respondents noted official partnerships with Australian universities, with almost 30 universities having official partnerships. Agreements centered on student exchange are the main type of agreement. In terms of research, there are few cases where researchers from Australia are accepted, and the relationship is limited. 4. In terms of research projects relating to Australian Studies, 25 respondents (around 60%) answered that they had carried out projects over the past five years. Many used Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research as their main funding. There was a wide range of research themes, but it is apparent that themes relating to society, culture and economics, such as immigrants, tourism, indigenous peoples, and economics and trade, are relatively numerous. Joint research with researchers from Australia is carried out, but there are not many cases of this occurring.

The trend is for Australian Studies and education in Japan to be centered on interest in society, culture and economics, trying to deepen understanding of Australia through varied methodologies. In terms of education, there are substantial numbers of universities with classes involving Australia, offering education centered on official partnerships with Australian universities. On the other hand, there are limited numbers of research exchanges. At the same time as education relating to Australia is further enhanced, the promotion of research exchanges between Australian universities and researchers can be seen as a problem for the future.

クの移民」、「大洋州安全保障研究」などである。 さらに、「英語圏の国際関係」という科目も挙げられており、英語圏の一部と してもオーストラリアが取り上げられていることが分かった。 文化人類学や社会学、地球科学、観光学などの各学問領域に関する科目のな かでも、オーストラリアに関する内容が一部取り上げている。そのような科目 としては、「文化人類学」、「文化人類学への招待」、「文化社会学」、「Sociology of Cultures in Transition」、「地球科学」、「環境・地理情報システム論」、「Urban Tourism」、「異文化コミュニケーション論」などがある。さらに、「比較文化論」、 「エスニシティ論」、「外国ジャーナリズム Ia」なども挙げられた。 その他、「東南アジア人文地理学研究」、「グローバリゼーションと文化」、さ らには演習科目や卒業研究などでもオーストラリアに関連する内容を取り上げ ていると回答した人がいた。 これらの授業の中で扱われているより具体的なテーマ・内容であるが、多か ったのは、先住民や移民・難民、多文化主義などであった。さらに、オースト ラリアの自然や地理、歴史、観光、教育、捕鯨問題なども挙げられた。歴史、 経済、政治、文化、社会などオーストラリア全般について幅広く取り上げてい るという回答もみられた。 以上から、オーストラリアに関連する内容は、オーストラリア自体を主題と する科目においてはもちろんのこと、オセアニアや英語圏に関する科目、さら には、個別の学問領域に関する科目においても取り上げられ、教えられている ことが分かった。(藤田智子)

3.オーストラリアの大学との公的な連携関係

回答者の所属する大学や所属研究機関で、オーストラリアの大学と公的な連 携関係(例:国際交流協定、共同学位)を結んでいるかどうか尋ねたところ、 43 件の回答中 27 件(63%)が連携関係あり、残りの 16 件(37%)が連携関係 なしとの回答であった(図 3)。 連携関係ありとの回答をみると、大学間・学部間の交流協定を結んでいるケ ースが大半である(34 頁の付録 3)。交流の種類は、学生の相互受け入れ(交換 留学を含む)や共同学位、語学研修受け入れなど、協定校同士での学生交流に 主眼を置くものが主流である。オーストラリアの提携先は 1 校のみのケースが 多いが、中には 3 校(筑波大学、北九州市立大学ほか)、7 校(追手門学院大学)、 9 校(早稲田大学)など、複数の大学間と協定関係にあるケースも散見される。 (堤 純)

5.オーストラリア研究に関わる研究プロジェクトの実施

過去 5 年の間にオーストラリア研究に関わる内容の研究プロジェクトを実施 しているかたずねたところ、「はい」と回答した人が 25 名( 58.1%)、「いいえ」 と回答した人が 18 名(41.9%)であった(図 5)。

図 5 あなたご自身の御研究についておたずねします。オーストラリア研究に 関わる内容の研究プロジェクトを過去 5 年間の間に実施していますか。

おわりに

本調査によりあきらかになった日本におけるオーストラリア研究・教育の動 向の特徴は、次のようにまとめられよう。

1.調査回答者の所属学会を見ると、オーストラリア学会、オセアニア学会など の地域学会は、オーストラリアを研究する日本の研究者を引きつける場と して一定程度機能していることがうかがえる。 2.オーストラリアに関する授業は、回答の半数弱、20 近くの大学で実施されて いる。オーストラリア自体を主題とする科目、オセアニアや英語圏に関す る科目、個別の学問領域に関する科目など、幅広い科目でオーストラリア 関連の内容が取り上げられている。取り上げられるテーマ・内容も多様で ある。 3.オーストラリアの大学との公的な連携関係は、回答の約 3 分の 2、30 近い大 学で連携関係がある。学生交流を中心とする協定が主流である。研究に関 しては、オーストラリアからの研究者の受入れ件数は少なく、関係は限定 的である。 4.オーストラリア研究に関わる研究プロジェクトについては、回答の約 6 割、 25 件が過去 5 年間に研究プロジェクトを実施していると答えている。科学 研究費を中心的な財源とするものが多い。研究テーマは多岐にわたるが、 移民、観光、先住民、経済・貿易など、社会、文化、経済に関わるテーマ が比較的多いようである。オーストラリアの研究者との共同研究はあるが、 それほど数が多くない。

日本におけるオーストラリア研究・教育は、社会、文化、経済に関心の中心 を置きつつ、多様な方法論により、オーストラリア理解を深めようとする傾向 がある。教育については、かなり多くの大学で授業があり、オーストラリアの 大学との公的な連携関係の中心も教育である。一方、研究交流については、限 られた数にとどまっている。オーストラリアに関する教育をより一層充実させ るのと同時に、オーストラリアの大学、研究者との研究交流の促進が、今後の 課題といえよう。
