 note = {Gender-related topics are becoming increasingly popular in university courses in Japan, including those in English-medium content programs. This is at least in part due to the urgent need for gender equality in many areas of Japanese society such as political representation and labor rights protection. In this working paper, I introduce topics included in an interdisciplinary university program which prepares students for future careers in international cooperation. Students learn about various issues which are important for their future success in global contexts, and for this it is indispensable to discuss gender-related topics such as women's rights, LGBT issues, reproductive health, equal access to education, and more. Such innovative learning opportunities are a small but significant step forward for gender awareness and equality in Japan as well as for Japan's status in the international community. (This paper is written in preparation for the GALE Forum at the International JALT Conference 2016: Transformations in Gender Research and Learning.)},
