Socio-ethical Inquiry into Barrier-free Education : With SpecialReference to the Redefinitions of Disability and Equality

2009年，无障碍教育中心在东京大学教育研究生院成立，我在那里担任专业职位，并参与指导。我们中心的使命是将无障碍概念在学术上系统化，并培养对无障碍概念有深刻理解的人才。我的研究旨在探讨“无障碍教育”背后的社会伦理。在此过程中，我的任务集中在“不思考”的基本理念，如“残疾”和“平等”，在学术设置和社会一般，并试图确保背景设置是可访问的和可用的，每个人都在社区，包括残疾人。

In 2009, the Center for Barrier-Free Education was established at Graduate School of Education, the University of Tokyo where I hold my professional station and I engaged with its steering. Our center’s missions are to systematize the Barrier Free concept academically, and to cultivate human resources with deep understanding of the concept. My study aims to investigate into the underlying social ethic of “Barrier-Free Education”. In so doing, I center on the task of “Unthinking” of its fundamental ideas, such as “disabilities” and “equality” , in academic settings and from society in general and try to ensure that the background settings are accessible and usable by everyone in the community including people with disabilities.
