PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS
These are topics and themes for the Workshop on Global Studies sponsored by OLLI , the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. The Schedule given below is for the Fall 2003 period. Themes that cannot be offered during this period may be considered for follow-up workshops later on. The plans have been managed by Fred Riggs. A Steering Committee to evaluate and guide the project has been created: Mike Douglass, Majid Tehranian, and John Southworth are its founding members. A Power Point audio-visual presentation by Fred Riggs explaining the global aims of the workshop can be found at: GS Workshop posted with support from Joe DeFrank, CTAHR. A summary on the Oasis form can also be found at: Global Learn Day (Riggs). Still a preliminary draft, the underlying rationale for this effort is explained at: Global Studies Manifesto . Anyone reading these very provisional ideas is invited to share thoughts about them with the author at "fredr@hawaii.edu".
The Workshop met weekly throughout October and November, on Fridays between 5:00 and 7:30 in Crawford Hall room 115. Refreshments -- sandwiches, cheese and coffee or tea -- were provided, thanks to OLLI. Each panel was first presented live and in person. Subsequently, some of the panelists met alone to tape their discourse and post it on the Internet. The videotapes can be borrowed from the Audiovisual Collection in Saunders Library. Viewers anywhere in the world can browse the Web site and, if they want the better "show" on tape, they can order a copy.
NICENET will be used as a free utility to support conversations on the Internet organized by themes. All participants and anyone in the world who wishes to join them in their discourse will be eligible to participate -- instructions are given below . NICENET was selected in preference to WebCT or Blackboard. Although these utilities are excellent, they are available only on a subscription basis. UH has subscribed and so they are available to faculty and students at UH but not to outsiders. However, if the workshop discourses are to become truly global, we need a host that is freely available to anyone in the world: NICENET meets that reqirement. It alone will enable the workshop to become a global-ized project.
The commitment of UH to utilization of distributed learning technology is explained in its action plan -- May 2003. By this means inter-disciplinary panel discussions can be made available to anyone in the world, especially to partners in the Globalization Research Network . By his means the local face-to-face workshop can become, virtually, a "global workshop."
All panel presentations will be made available, without charge, on the Web, for use in any classes or seminars organized by workshop members (or anyone else). The videotapes will be available on loan or for a modest charge. Each panel will offer a preliminary discussion of a topic, and may invite viewers to register for regular courses in which its theme will be fully explored. Each panel can, therefore, be viewed as a kind of "promotion" for courses, publications, and on-line presentations for which viewers will have to pay tuition or fees. Although workshop products are available on a complimentary basis, they are expected to generate income for UH by indirect means. The followng notice covers our legal status:
© 2003 University of Hawaii. This work may be reproduced and redistributed,
in whole or in part, without alteration and without prior written permission,
provided all copies contain the following statement: "© 2003 University
of Hawaii. This work is reproduced and distributed with the permission of the
University of Hawaii."
When the Globalization Studies Network becomes operational, its members will also be invited to join this discourse. A balance will be sought between
(1) TECHNOLOGY. Methodological and normative sessions dealing with the goals and design of the workshop,
(2) FIELDS. Substantive panel sessions about how selected disciplines and professions relate to global studies, and
(3) PROBLEMS. Issues and themes that are globally relevant will be addressed by inter-disciplinary panels.
The first two sessions of the workshop are not substantive but lay the foundations. The remaining six periods are ear-marked for disciplinary and thematic panels. The GRC programs, Living in a Global World , will be explained and, later, sandwiched in as seems appropriate. The topics and participants for future meetings are given here. Records for past meetings are given at the end as History of the Workshop .
GLOBAL STUDIES WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
Fall 2003.

HISTORY. The following meetings sponsored by the OLLI Global Studies Workshop were held during the Fall Term, 2003.
Sept. 18. An Orientation session for everyone invited to join the workshop was held from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in the Saunders Hall penthouse to explain the goals and methods of the project and to invite those who are interested to sign up as regular participants, or as "visitors". Some leaders in International Affairs and Global Studies provided relevant information, starting with greetings from Dean Dick Dubanoski. Michael Douglass reported on his recent meeting at the IDRC in Ottawa where plans were made to create a Globalization Studies Network (GSN). Majid Tehranian spoke about cooperation with off-campus groups like the Toda Institute which will host a conference on "The U.S. in World Affairs," 7 Feb. 2004, to which all participants were invited. Jenny Samaan explained the work of the UH Office of International Education which now has a database listing UH's international exchange agreements . John Southworth explained how NICENET can support a "class" for Global Studies in which workshop participants plus anyone else -- including members of the GSN -- can discuss topics raised in workshop sessions.
Fred Riggs talked about the goals and Schedule for the Workshop. Uniquely, it wll permit faculty from different departments and schools of the University who share an interest in globalization to meet each other and develop plans for global studies programs. Faculty members teaching Globally Relevant Courses , are welcome as well as faculty conducting sections of the Global and Multicultural Perspectives segment of the UH General Education Program. Background information explaining the rationale of the project can be found at Planning for Global Studies .
October 3: "Hallmarks" – at its first regular session, workshop participants looked at the goals to be achieved by all Global Studies courses – a general debate on norms and objectives of the workshop and any credit-courses or programs that might be established in the future. Participants identified themselves. In response to opening remarks by Bion Griffin, Associate Dean for Social Sciences, in which, as an anthropologist, he talked about how global-ized his own family was, everyone in the room was invited to share their personal situation. It was amazing to learn how truly global-ized our small world has become.
The tentative set of criteria listed above was discussed and sharply criticized by some.. A consensus arose that instead of "propositions" claiming agreements about global situations and relationships we needed a set of topics that posed questions to be investigated. Many suggestions were offered and, after they have been reviewed and consolidated, they will be posted in this space. At the workshop level they will be used to evaluate the relevance of topics to be taken up in the workshop; at a wider level, they will be offered for consideration by anyone designing a course or program for Global Studies.
Oct. 10: "GLOBAL-IZING" THE WORKSHOP. By means of Distributed Learning technology and the NICENET "class" it will be possible not only to offer our workshop's panels to a global audience, but also enable interactive participation by interested partners located at any university in the world. Our workshop will not just study globalization -- we will become a global process. To explain how, this session was devoted to "methodology" . First, each of our panels will be posted on the Internet as a complimentary resource open to anyone in the world, and Second, each topic examined in a panel will become the focus of a theme group on the Internet, open to anyone who is interested, globally. The newly organized "Globalization Studies Network" will make this possible.
Because globalization refers to a many-faceted process with powerful negative as well as positive implicatations, we may write "global-ize" to refer to the more specific process of extending any local activity to a global audience and international partners. Thus to global-ize anything is simply to expand the scope of a process from the local to the global level. It may be seen as an intentional and specific process that is only a small part of the vast and much more ambivalent processes we call "globalization." By contrast, to glocal-ize is the inverse process: to bring to a local context ideas and things that owe their origins to global forces. Our workshop needs to engage in both processes concurrently -- they complement each other.
Not everyone was happy with the neologisms -- please suggest a more acceptable way to distinguish between "globalization" as the existing macro-processes we view as focal for Global Studies, and the intentional process of extending a local discourse to a global community of interested participants.
A link for Global Learn Day VII, Nov. 16, 2003, was contemplated: there were Celebrations in eight regions in the world, each with radio, newspaper and television participation. The regions and likely cities are: South Pacific (Suva or Melbourne); East Asia (Bangkok); South and Central Asia (New Delhi); Africa (Kampala); Gulf and Middle East (Abu Dhabi); Europe (Moscow); Latin America (Sao Paulo); North America (Washington D.C.)... with an additional stop in Honolulu, Hawaii. They were linked globally by electronic communications as explained at GLD-VII . The plan for GLD7 with many hyperlinks to participant sites is posted at: GLD VII Schedule .
A notice by Fred Riggs about our Workshop as it relates to GLD was posted on an Oasis Site. An audio presentation about the workshop is available thanks to Joe DeFrank . Other linked programs based in Hawaii include the PEACESAT program. View information about last year's GLD VI activities in Hawaii (Central Pacific). We were also involved in International Education Week at our final session on Nov. 21 . In this context, we may use the Tegrity program, available to us through the UH College of Education.
Other relevant technologies include those developed by the UH Globalization Research Center through Internet 1/Research Channels, as manifest in the GRC programs. They were explained and illustrated by James White at the Oct. 17 workshop session.
Oct. 17: Global World. A program based on GRC's Living in a Global World series was offered. There are five programs in this set, and they will be viewed at appropriate times. This session explained all of them with an analysis of how their goals and structure changed. James White, who orchestrated all these panels, told us, with illustrative film clips, how they were produced and what criteria led to the choices of themes. The potential relevance of this technology for future use and the availability of Research Channel for wider distribution of our own panels was discussed. Full screenings of the GRC programs may be offered at later meetings. It became clear that while the materials are available on the Web for anyone to view at any time, free of charge, the tapes offer sharper images -- they can be purchased from the GRC directly. Various options are under consideration and suggestions are invited.
Oct. 24: Communications. The first of a series of Discipline sessions focused on how the flow of information has evolved from simple beginnings to the complex global networks now available via the Internet and the Mass Media. Majid Tehranian, Communications Dept.and director of the Toda Institute organized the panel using Silk Road to Cybernetics: Globalization and Communications as the topic. He invited the following participants: Andrew Arno, Anthropology; Peter Manicas, Inter-Disciplinary Studies, and Fred Riggs, Political Science. A stimulating and wide-ranging discussion based on Majid's propositions looked at historical, technological, institutional, and normative dimensions of this major theme. It drew heavily on a comprehensive world historical point of view.
Members of the planned Globalization Studies Network may now view a version of the panel posted on the posted on the Internet at uhtv.hawaii.edu:7070/ramgen/events2/global11-19-03.rm entitled Silk to Silocon . Folks at the UHM campus may secure a copy of the videootape for this conversation between Tehranian and Riggs from the Wong Audiovisual Library at Sinclair. Arrangements are being made for folks elsewhere in the world to purchase a copy. They will also be able to offer comments, via the NICENET class. The ability of a panel discussion on the Internet to be viewed globally dramatizes the phenomenal evolution of global communications. The same technology now brings people, events and social forces into the living rooms of everyman, including all of us living in Hawaii.
Thus Global Studies will escalate to the status of "global-ized" studies, opening a new chapter in academia. A growing number of online or open universities offer Distance Learning courses to anyone prepared to pay tuition in order to earn credits and degreees. Global-ized studies, by contrast, will be freely available to anyone cherishing learning for its own sake. We anticipate reciprocal reinforcement: the more interest in globalization grows, the more academic courses and programs will evolve to support research and teaching of global studies.
Oct. 31: Music and Globalization. The second "Discipline" panel was led by Ricardo Trimillos from the UH Music Department and Asian Studies Program. It seemed like an apt theme for Halloween! In retrospect, it was the most lively and thought provoking session so far. We are indebted to the music-men who gave us such a delightfully global experience.
Ricardo provided the following announcement reproduced here in its original future-tense. What was predicted has now happened and viewers can see the results at: http://uhtv.hawaii.edu:7070/ramgen/events2/global12-03-03.rm .
Sounding the Global: paths and processes of world-wide music circulation
Jay Junker, Frederick Lau, Ricardo D. Trimillos; UHM Music Department
Globalization - the rapid movement of ideas, images, capital, technology, as well as music and musicians across national and ethnic boundaries - has generated new musical styles, new musical technologies, and new hybrid genres. It has created new possibilities for musicians to earn a living from their art, but at the same time it has redefined local identities and practices.
We will consider such topics by examining the domains of commercial, Western art ("classical") and Hawaiian music, noting parallels, contrasts, and uniquenesses. While music globalization at present can be considered primarily the circulation of an electronically mediated product, the circulation of artists simultaneously underscores a human dimension to the process.
Music is a medium in which the processes of globalization and localization can be complementary. It suggests a site for domestication of a musical and cultural Other. It further problematizes commodification, authority, and entitlement.
Nov. 7: Sustainable Community: Policies and Practices To Ensure Sustainability in a Globalizing World. This Public Policy panel was developed under the auspices of the the UH Public Policy Center, directed by Susan Chandler. Sharon Miyashiro organized the panel and chaired the discourse. A Web rendering of the panel presentation may be viewed at http://uhtv.hawaii.edu:7070/ramgien/events2/global11-17-03.rm with the title, Sustainable Community. The videotape version is also available from the the Sinclair Library as noted above in the October 24 record. The plan for this session was described by Sharon as follows:
Synopsis: Sustainable development, sustainable community, sustainable economy, sustainable tourism. You may have heard these phrases but what does "sustainablity" really mean and how can you tell if your community is sustainable? Sustainability is related to quality of life; how we meet our needs through economic, social, cultural, environmental systems without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. A lively panel committed to ensuring a sustainable community will engage participants in their deliberations through defining "sustainable community," examining policies and practices that have worked or not, and discussing possible options/actions that can move us closer to its achievement.
Panelists and Topics:
Luciano Minerbi, Professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, What is 'sustainability': Global and Local Policies for Sustainability?
Mike Fitzgerald, President & CEO, Enterprise Honolulu, Sustainable Development: The Key to Continuing Economic Prosperity for Honolulu (or any community)
Pauline Sheldon, Professor, School of Travel Industry Management. Sustainable Tourism for an Island State: Successful Policies and Practices
Jude Kohlkase, Graduate Student, Department of Urban and Regional Planning. Community Views on 'Sustainable Community': How to Plan Policies to Sustain A Healthy Community
Ira Rohter, Professor, Political Science Department. The Meaning of 'Sustainability' in Real World Politics: What Actions Must We Take to Achieve or At Least Move Towards Ensuring A Sustainable Community?
The discussion following presentations was extremely lively and several participants praised it as the most interesting we have had so far.
Nov. 14: Women and Globalization. This panel was organized by Ruth Dawson, in Women's Studies and she serves as moderator. Other participants included Nancie Caraway, Min Dongchao, Lucinda Peach, and S. Charusheela. They offered these pre-views of their contributions to the panel.
Nancie Caraway provided some data based on the Human Slavery Project. Women and children are trapped into new forms of human slavery which are rapidly expanding in the global economy.
Lucinda Peach wrote: I plan to speak briefly about some of the factors of globalization that have fueled the rise in the trafficking of persons, especially women and children, for sex work, but has also facilitated international networking among governments, INGOs, NGOs, women's and human rights organizations, etc., to develop responses.
Min Dongchao wrote: I will talk about three ideas of globalisation: 'globalisation
is not the whole world', 'the global, like the local, always links with place
and space' and 'the global sense of the local is a site of both promise and
predicament'.
S Charusheela wrote: I will discuss the issue of economy from two aspects: i) the effects of reorganization of economy on women; and ii) the limits of conventional frameworks about globalization and economy for comprehending how globalization affects non-Western women. We need very different types of framework to analyze the new forms of economic subjectivity.
Nov. 21: International Education and Globalization. UH's Office of International Education is directed by Jenny Saaman who has accepted responsibility for organizing the panel. This date coincides with International Education Week , a national celebration sponsored by the U.S. Departments of State and Education, in which UH will be a participant. That makes this an ideal time for a panel discussion of the many ways study and teaching abroad plus international students and visiting faculty from overseas can enhance the value of global learning and sharing. Various programs to support international exchanges at UH are hyperlinked at International Programs
Taking advantage of international partnerships to give our courses a more intimate sense of the world we live in adds another layer to the complex linkages needed for Global Studies. A comprehensive list of International Exchange Agreements by units at the University of Hawaii with selected overseas universities and centers provides easy access to relevant information. A list of universities with interesting international programs can be found at Sites . Jenny provided this informtion about her panel:
Topic: Enhancing Teaching, Research, and Service Through International Partnerships
Synopsis: The University of Hawaii has 184 international partnership agreements around the world. Some of these provide opportunities for traditional student and faculty exchanges, while others offer a framework for collaborative research. This panel will explore innovative approaches taken by various campuses and faculty members to incorporate an international perspective into course work, research and service. In addition to the experiences of panelists, we will be interested to learn of other innovative collaborations which can be shared system-wide as exemplary models for international engagement.
Panelists and Topics:
Jenny Samaan, Director, UH System-wide Office of International Education will provide an introduction to the topic and discuss the University's traditional and innovative partner relationships.
Leon Richards, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Executive Director of Honda International Center, Kapi`olani Community College will focus on the newly Freeman Foundation funded innovative program which will combine intensive language study in Hawaii and at a partner institution, followed by an international service learning project.
Bion Griffin, Associate Dean, College of Social Sciences, UH Manoa has for years incorporated hands-on archeology in Southeast Asia into traditional classes. In keeping with a national trend, more study abroad programs are being infused into a semester-long course with students actually travelling abroad for 7-10 days.
John Casken, UH Manoa Professor of Nursing and Coordinator of International Linkages for the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, will outline the research being conducted in partnership with Chiang Mai University, Thailand, and Hue University, Vietnam.
Bill Chapman, UH Manoa Director of the Graduate Certificate Program in Historic Presevation, has worked extensively abroad in the Caribbean, Central America, the Pacific Islands and particularly in Southeast Asia. Through slides he will focus on innovative teaching and training in Southeast Asia.
IN RESERVE. Other topics to be added when space can be found for them in succeeding semesters involve selected disciplines/professions and also inter-disciplinary global problems . Here are a few examples:
1. World History sets the stage for understanding contemporary globalization in its many facets. The World Civilizations and World History program of the UH History Department provides a foundation. A panel by a group of Historians could focus on historical narratives as revealed by written records from Cuneiform for Computerese. Alternatively, a multi-disciplinary panel might consider how diseases, technology, warfare, climate, and other vectors have decisively shaped the development and overlap of civilizations, culminating in today's "World Civilization." Some, speaking optimistically in the spirit of President George Bush, speak of the "civilized world," but we still need to discover what that really means. Whether one thinks of a single world civilization, or of many clashing civilizations, the historical perspective is centrally germane to global studies.
2. Global Problems. Many other Themes have been suggested, ranging from peace and war, terrorism and counter-terrorism, religion, and art to information management, population and migration, ethnicity, nationalism, and sovereignty, aging, tourism, and sports, the future and unborn generations. Choices will be determined by opportunities and available times.
3. Seamless Education. A serious effort has been launched to link primary and secondary with university education in Hawaii, as reflected in this White Paper. If school students have been been led to think about globalization and how it affects their lives before they enter the University, they will be more interested in, and better prepared to take, courses dealing with Global Studies. One way to open the door for the exchange of information contemplated in the White Paper is to invite interested high school teachers to join the OLLI Workshop. A more visible step involves organizing a workshop panel devoted to the needs and prospects for linking basic education in Hawaii with university opportunities, especially as they relate to Global Studies.

| Preliminary | History | Reserves | Disciplines/Professions | Themes | Hallmarks | Technology | Links |
The session on hallmarks, criteria or "benchmarks" for global studies will draw on the following resources:
CERTIFICATE FOR GLOBAL STUDIES – a proposal from the College of Arts and Sciences, to be developed by a committee chaired by Mike Douglass. A preliminary draft of criteria for such a program proposes that graduates may expect the following learning outcomes:
The first session of the workshop (Oct. 3) discussed these propositions and offered many comments. They can be explored through the NICENET theme group on "hallmarks." A revised text will be posted here as soon as consensus has been reached in this group. Anyone interested in joining the discussion should sign up, using the "class key" and procedures explained by John Southworth at Log-On .
GLOBAL AND MULTI-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES – the General Education Program at UHM stipulates that all beginning students must take 6-credit hours from approved courses that satisfy requirements set forth in these Hallmarks :
P-20 GOOD BEGINNINGS – the syllabus for a summer course for high school teachers on globalization, devised by Deane Neubauer and Doc Berry, starts with this paragaph:
Globalization has brought rapid changes to the world's business, politics, and communications, and has reshaped the ways people around the globe live their lives. Traditional courses in social studies and the humanities, however, have done little to acknowledge globalization, much less bring its study to the classroom.
See the full text of the syllabus .
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR UHM. A committee appointed by Chancellor Peter Englert to study experience in selected universities, including Ned Schutz, Mike Forman and others, is developing ideas for UHM based on exemplary experience at selected universities. Examples worth knowing about as useful models can be found at International Programs . Edgar Porter has been named Liaison for International Affairs at UHM and is now the official coordinator for global activities on this campus.
An instructive example can be found at Ohio State University whose Office of International Affairs maintains a FACTS page where all the complementary functions for global research and teaching are linked to international exchange programs for faculty and students, plus many institutional partnership agreements. A notable example of what might be accomplished at UH on the basis of a faculty forum for global studies based on the OLLI workshop, in close cooperation with the Globalization Research Center, can be found at CIRIT , the OSU program for Clusters of Interdisciplinary Research on International Themes.
5. Technology of Presentations
| Preliminary | History | Reserves | Disciplines/Professions | Themes | Hallmarks | Technology | Links |
Workshop panels will be produced for the Internet by the Distributed Learning and User Services unit in the UH Information Technology Service. Its director, Hae Okimoto, is arranging facilities and staff for this purpose. The presentations will be recorded during the week after they have been made face-to-face at the workshop, and may thereafter be shown in any courses related to global studies, at UHM or elsewhere. For further details consult the Distributed Learning Catalog to be found at the ITS site: Teaching & Learning with Technology .
The Globalization Research Center, in cooperation with Internet2/Research Network, has produced Living in a Global World, a set of documentaries that tries to capture some of the ongoing debates about globalization. It is built around interviews with scholars, critics and apologists — whoever can contribute to the debate on the globalization process. James White, who managed these productions, will facilitate their use at the workshop.
The NICENET Classroom Assistant program, has been used with great success by John Southworth for classes at CTAHR and the College of Education. It will be used to support discourse on the internet by participants in the Global Studies Workshop, supplementing their face-to-face sessions. Although less sophisticated than WebCT and Blackboard, this program is free for anyone in the world to use and appears to have all the capabilities that workshop members will require.
A "class" called GSworkshop has been established and anyone interested may now join it. To do so, one needs a "class key. Open the "join a class" window and sign up, using the key: P823Z0G52. Detailed instructions about how to proceed are offered by John Southworth at: Log-On. Each panel presentation in the GS Workshop provides a "theme" for interested class members. More themes can be added as the workshop continues. This facility will support expansion of the range of the workshop's discourse to include members of the Globalization Research Network : indeed, anyone in the world who is interested in Global Studies may join the class.
The TEGRITY WebLearner program, licensed by the College of Education, is available to qualified faculty members as a supplement to ITS/DLUS resources. Arrangements may be facilitated by Paul McKimmy, director of Outreach and Technology in COE's Educational Technology Department.
