Theme: 

The Asia-Pacific Rim, Hawaii, 

and The Meeting Points of History

For centuries, the Hawaiian Islands have been a meeting point and an historical crossroads. In his sermon, Japanese Embassy in Washington, preached on March 18, 1860 in the Seaman's Bethel in Honolulu, Rev. Samuel C. Damon observed: 

We are now living amid scenes, changes, revolutions and convulsions of nations, most striking and grand. Old landmarks and customs are breaking up and dissolving, and new combinations are forming, all betokening that the end draweth nigh.

The purpose of this first-ever winter conference is to examine the relations between the study of history and education. Proposals are welcomed that center on a variety of topics and interests with emphasis on historical events and circumstances throughout Hawaii and the Asia-Pacific Rim. How can we learn from our interconnected histories to solve contemporary and future challenges? 

We also welcome presentation proposals on other areas of historical and educational interests.
