Specialty:
Active learning (whole person learning) and Organizational Communication (組織コミュニケーション)
Pedagogy:
I teach Systems' Theory and Communication (as inseparable).  No information, no communication without system.  System cannot be completely described apart from Context.  Everything is happening at once — simultaneously, concurrently, progressively !  We just focus on levels, perspectives, and features in order to map (describe) what's going on for various purposes.
I work with nested communicative contexts.  The autonomous individual in the networked group in the learning community in the interdependant global systems of the earth.
