- The School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies (SHAPS) is now accepting
applications to attend the United Nations University Global Seminar - 2nd Hawai'i Session,
entitled "Consuming Cultures: Change, Tradition and Choice in Asia and the Pacific," May 18-21, 2005.
- SHAPS will once again join with the United Nations University (Tokyo) to
host the seminar. Held on
the UH Manoa campus, this Global Seminar is designed as an intense,
three-day exploration of
significant contemporary issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region. Students and young professionals
will engage with scholars, artists, and experts working in the global
network of the United Nations and international universities. Small group discussions, as well as
community interaction, will help participants analyze concepts raised in scheduled presentations.
Participants will be selected through an application process. We are
looking for students(undergraduate and graduate) and young professionals who are interested in
the topic of the seminar, namely the ways in which the exchange of ideas and materials have
transformed the lives of peoples
across Asia and the Pacific.
