（日本語はページ下部）

Dr. Yu Kanazawa (The University of Osaka), the coordinator and project leader of our SIG, will be speaking at a public lecture and YouTube Live event organized by Knowledge Capital in collaboration with Osaka University's Center for Infectious Disease Education and Research (CiDER).

Title: “SHIKATAGANAI!”を科学する (The Science of “Shikata ga nai!”)

Speakers:

  • Dr. Mao Yagihashi (The University of Osaka, CiDER)

  • Dr. Ryuichi Sada (The University of Osaka, Graduate School of Medicine / CiDER)

  • Dr. Yu Kanazawa (The University of Osaka, Graduate School of Humanities)

The Japanese expression shikata ga nai (roughly, "it can't be helped") can convey different emotions and meanings depending on the context. Drawing on psychological research, clinical medicine, and emotion studies, the three speakers will explore how this familiar expression relates to decision-making, patient–physician communication, acceptance, resignation, hope, and meaning-making in the face of difficulties and constraints.

Dr. Kanazawa will discuss the expression from the perspectives of emotion, yarigai (a sense of worth or fulfillment), and relevant previous research.

Date & Time: Friday, November 27, 2026, 19:30–20:30 (JST)

Venue: CAFE Lab., Grand Front Osaka (North Building, 1F), and YouTube Live

Admission: Free. In-person attendance requires advance registration (limited to 15 participants; deadline: November 26, 17:00 JST). Online participation requires no registration.

当SIGのコーディネーター・プロジェクトリーダーを務める金澤佑先生（大阪大学）が、ナレッジキャピタルと大阪大学感染症総合教育研究拠点（CiDER）の共催による公開講座「SpringX 超学校」に登壇します。

講座タイトル：「SHIKATAGANAI!」を科学する

  • 佐田 竜一 先生（大阪大学大学院医学系研究科／CiDER）

「しかたがない！」と「しかたがない…」。同じ言葉でも、そこにはさまざまな感情や意味が込められています。

本講座では、心理学・臨床医学・感情研究という異なる専門的視点から、「しかたがない」という身近な表現について考えます。意思決定、患者と医師のコミュニケーション、困難や制約の中での受容・諦め・希望・意味づけなど、多様な側面を取り上げます。

金澤先生は、感情や「やりがい」の研究、そして「しかたがない」をめぐる先行研究を手がかりに、この言葉に込められた諦めだけではない意味や機能についてお話しする予定です。

日時： 2026年11月27日（金）19:30～20:30

会場： グランフロント大阪 北館1F CAFE Lab. ＆ YouTube Live

参加費： 無料。会場参加は事前申込制（定員15名、11月26日17時締切）。オンライン視聴は申込不要です。
