Description

This course introduces students to concepts, theories, policies, and practices of multilingual language use (spoken and written), supported by multicultural orientations and practices, within the contemporary context of Hawaiʻi as a society with substantial linguistic and cultural diversity, including indigenous populations, homegrown Pidgin speakers, sojourners and tourists, the results of successive waves of migration, colonization, and globalization. Through recognizing Hawaiʻiʻs unique features, the course also locates Hawai’i within a world in which multilingualism and multiculturalism have become (or always were) the norm in many communities.

The course will be of interest to graduate students with professional interests in language, arising from professional schools or areas such as education, law, social work, medicine, or business as well as those primarily interested in languages, multilingualism, multiculturalism, and applied linguistics.

Description
This course covers the origins and features of the Hawaiian State. Starting with Hawai‘i’s roots as a navigator society, this course explores the island kingdoms of Kaua‘i, Maui and Hawai‘i island. Detailed interaction between Hawaiians and navigators from other countries around the world such as Cook and Vancouver open up an investigation through the reign of Kamehameha I and II. Kamehameha III’s decision to establish a constitutional monarchy, achieve State recognition and develop a modern nation State are examined further through the eighty-eight year period of Hawaiian governance. The course will then examine, through political science and law, the continuity of the Hawaiian State despite the illegal overthrow of its government by the United States on January 17, 1893, and the significance of the Larsen v. Hawaiian Kingdom arbitration held at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague, Netherlands from 1999-2001.

Description
Every place has history that impacts who was there, who is there still, and the nature of our relationships to where we live. This year’s Summer Institute Intersections: Weaving Place, Story, and Documentation in the Early Years asks early childhood educators to explore how to connect learning with the rich lived experiences of families and children in the context of communities and the ʻāina.

Typically our educator “hat” can lead teachers to narrowly observe, assess and document with an accountability mindset that misses the deeper possibilities. We hope to meaningfully engage in sensemaking and reconceptualizing possibilities to draw from the strengths of our lives in relationship with the ʻāina. We will also tap into local ways of connecting and creating shared meaning through the stories we share.

Join us this week as we embark on a ground up experience as learners, starting at the Waikalua Loko Iʻa and listening with stories as told by the ʻāina and people of a treasured place. This labor of love will provide a focal point to engage in collective research and inquiry and narrative creation as well as exploring novel ways to document, represent, and share our learning with/from the places where we live. On our final day we will will return to Waikalua Loko Iʻa and reflect on how the stories that emerge in projects and investigations can be collected and shared in ways that empower, strengthen, and nurture relationships between children, families, educators and communities; while also addressing the potentials in documenting and making childrenʻs learning visible and valued.

Mahalo to our co-hosts from the Executive Office on Early Learning. Dolores Brockman, Tiffany Hirota, Kuulei Kaluhiokalani, Phyllis Kawamoto, Yvette Paglinawan, Malia Sakaki..
