2014 Conference Sessions: HPU's Dr. Marc Gilbert, PhD., and the Relevance of World History




Dr. Marc Gilbert, PhD., is the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Endowed Chair of World History at Hawaii Pacific University. He also heads the World History Association of Hawaii at Hawaii. 

Dr. Gilbert has published extensively as an academic author, co-author, and editor, including World Civilizations: The Global Experience (now in its Seventh edition) and several works on the intersection of Vietnamese and American history. 

In 1999, Gilbert won a “Silver Telly” Award for a documentary on homeless Vietnam era combat veterans titled Lost Warriors, which he co-wrote and co-produced.

He led a session at our recent History Education Summer 2014 Conference on the relevance of world history, emphasizing that history has themes and patterns. Gilbert also discussed how specific problems arise in world history in specific times, and that it effects everyone. 

An example of this revolves around trans-regional issues, such as food, water, and so on. World history is also interdisciplinary and involves connections between many things.
