on Anthropologically Connected
Concentration in Medical Anthropology The multiethnic communities of Hawai'i, and a variety of clinical settings, provide unusual opportunities for the study of sociocultural and epidemiologic problems related to health and illness, traditional/folk and biomedical approaches to illness prevention and therapeutics, and delivery of health care services among populations in transition. Concentration in Ecological Anthropology The concentration focuses on human interactions with tropical forest environments, both in Hawai'i and Southeast Asia. The specialization in ecological anthropology includes a specialization in spiritual ecology as well as in concentration in environmental anthropology and conflict resolution. The former examines activities at the interface of religions with environments, ecology, and environmentalism; the latter at the interface of culture, ecology, and peace. Historical Preservation Graduate Certificate The combination of a Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation and another graduate degree, such as anthropology, lends a particular strength to the University of Hawai‘i's program. Students from the Pacific region or Asia can combine studies in historic preservation with more in-depth research into their own histories and cultures. Similarly, North American students, especially those anticipating professional careers on the mainland U.S., can take preservation courses together with more basic background in American history and culture. International Cultural Studies Graduate Certificate An understanding of the impact of such global transformations on local and national communities requires an interdisciplinary approach to the study of culture, especially in places such as Hawai'i, situated geographically and politically at the intersection of US and Asian spheres of influence. In recognition of this, the graduate certificate program brings together faculty whose research and teaching focus on the politics and production of culture in the public sphere, with emphasis on the interpretive methods of the social sciences, arts, and humanities. Resource Management Certificate Natural resource endowments throughout the Asia-Pacific region are being rapidly depleted or degraded through shortsighted planning and poor management. Improved planning and management can enhance sustainability of these resources and yield greater prosperity. The program offers the foundation, training and analytic methods necessary for effective resource management. It is ideally suited for graduate students interested in gaining cutting edge knowledge for solving various resource management problems. Graduate
Specialization in This interdisciplinary graduate specialization brings together faculty members from anthropology, cell and molecular biology, botanical sciences, entomology, geography, microbiology, natural resources and environmental management, oceanography, tropical plant and soil sciences, and zoology — with all their skills and technologies — to provide the training students need to contribute effectively to the integrating of tropical population biology and natural history studies and modern laboratory techniques in the overlapping studies of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. The Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Hawai'i aims broadly at an increased understanding of contemporary China through instruction, research, publications, community outreach, conferences, and national and international linkages. Among its outreach projects is an annotated directory of the 150+ Chinese societies in Hawaii supported by the Organization of Chinese Americans and the United Chinese Society. Another invites any Chinese language teacher anywhere in the country to call toll-free and speak with a trained native speaker of Chinese to clarify some point related to the language or the teaching of it. The Center helps promote the establishment of a stable, peaceful and prosperous Asia Pacific community in which the United States is a valued partner. The Center carries out its mission through programs of cooperative study, training and research. Professionals and students from the United States, Asia and the Pacific study and work together at the East-West Center to better understand issues of common and critical concern and explore mutually beneficial ways of addressing them. As a national and regional resource, the Center offers: (a) an interdisciplinary research program that examines major issues of critical importance in U.S.-Asia-Pacific relations; (b) dialogue and professional enrichment programs that focus on groups central to the communication of ideas: the media, political and policy leaders, and educators; and (c) educational programs to develop the human resources needed by the nited States and the Asia Pacific region in a new era of increased interdependence. The GRC-Hawaii is part of a larger consortium (involving the University of South Florida, Univesity of California, Los Angelese and George Washington University). which is pursing joint research projects including global public health, the HIV/AIDS pandemic and prevention, global human security, a globalization database for researchers (DPP), and publications including a journal entitled Globalization and a book series entitled Rethinking Globalizations. It seeks to promote interdisciplinary, international and global studies of pressing problems faced by humanity and investigate causes, arguments and alternatives to present trends and relationships within the phenomena of globalization. National Resource Center - East Asia The size and strength of East Asian programs at UH are concentrated in the Centers for Chinese (CCS), Japanese (CJS) and Korean (CKS) Studies in the School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies (SHAPS). The East Asian Center, as a whole, sponsors outreach programs for K-12 educators, such as summer institutes with the Consortium for Teaching Asia and the Pacific in Schools (now the Asia-Pacific Education Program for Schools). As part of its outreach to the business community, media, and the general public, it offers a variety of training programs such as a partnership with the UH John A. Burns School of Medicine and the Hawaii State Consortium for Integrative Healthcare for the incorporation of Asian medicines and medical practices into the mainstream healthcare system. Center for Pacific Islands Studies The Center for Pacific Islands Studies brings together people and resources to promote understanding of the Pacific Islands and issues of concern to Pacific Islanders through teaching, research, dissemination of information, and community involvement. The Center for Pacific Islands Studies has developed an extensive educational outreach program designed to promote greater awareness and understanding of the region in the wider community. As a National Resource Center, the center provides information and resource materials to educators, government officials, businesspersons, and the general public. Center for Philippines Studies The Center is the only academic institution in the United States offering Philippine studies degree programs complemented by research and outreach activities. Many of the Center's faculty and specialists contribute articles and commentaries regularly to the two Filipino newspapers in the community, the Fil-Am Courier and Hawaii Filipino Chronicle. Several faculty are actively involved in efforts to establish a Filipino Community Center. Other activities involve language assistance or translation services for the courts, immigration service, schools, prisons and hospitals; citizenship training; scholarships for Filipino-American students; and cooperation with other ethnic groups in Hawaii. Center for Southeast Asian Studies With more than 50 faculty members, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii represents the largest concentration of Southeast Asia specialists in the United States. The Center maintains vigorous exchange programs with universities in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, as well as specialized faculties in Europe. It also has a strong commitment to outreach programs for the community of Hawaii and continually produces and distributes K-12 educational materials throughout the country. The Center brings together expertise, commitment, and a strong and continuing desire to enhance the quality of community life through teaching, research, and civic engagement. It emphasizes public policy analyses are critical to sound public policy decision-making and that teaching and scholarly work are intertwined and should be continually linked to the community beneficiaries. The Center forges collaborations through the Legislature in Residence Program; partnerships with community organizations such as the Hawaii Institute for Public affairs and the Hawaii Public Policy Forums.
