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..

Dr. Will Parnell: Our special guest this Summer, Dr. Will Parnell, is a professor of early childhood education and former chair of the Curriculum and Instruction Department at Portland State University. Among his many gifts, Will helps educators explore how to make listening and learning visible and valued, especially through the creative repurposing of reused materials. His current interests center on meaning-making through arts-based narrative-building processes that inform classroom practices and place-noticing. An internationally recognized scholar and teacher educator, Will has written numerous articles focusing on children, teachers, and parents’ lived experiences and is the co-editor and author of three books including, Making Meaning in Early Childhood Research and Disrupting Research in Early Childhood Education. He is a mentor to doctoral students and young scholars across the U.S. and Australia.

Inspired by the Filipino Curriculum Project, Hawai‘i lawmakers unanimously passed HCR56 in 2022 which requested the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) to “implement a Filipino history, culture and identity social studies course for high school students.”  Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, the following Hawaiʻi public, charter, and private will offer CHR 2300 Filipino History Culture: Farrington High School, Waipahu High School, Dreamhouse ʻEwa Beach, and Maryknoll School.

In preparation for that launch, the Filipino American Education Institute will be offering professional development courses that will start this Summer.  Please visit https://filameducation.com/pd/ and/or contact phalagao@hawaii.edu for more information.

The 6th Annual STEMS² Symposium will take place Tuesday, June 25 – Thursday, June 27, 2024 with opportunities to engage both in person and online. In-person experiences will include activities that physically engage participants with people and places around O‘ahu. Online experiences will include workshops, poster sessions, and talk stories/paper presentations. Whether you participate locally on Oʻahu or from a distance, join fellow STEMS² enthusiasts who share a passion for exploring the roles that place, culture, and identity play in interdisciplinary education.

The Symposium is now accepting proposals for online and in-person talk story sessions, paper sessions, performances, and workshops as well as in-person service learning experiences, and workshops. Grounded in the value of Aʻo (to teach and learn in a reciprocal relationship), we work to create inclusive, interactive spaces to hear as many voices as possible in multiple session formats. Please submit a proposal that you believe relates to this year’s symposium theme.

For more information, please visit https://coe.hawaii.edu/stems2/symposium/2024/ and/or contact stems2@hawaii.edu.
