FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP2

POLITICAL SCIENCE ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2013-2014

We again celebrate the end of an excellent year and, as this brochure highlights, it was a year that included many faculty and student accomplishments. This academic year brought us a new member of the department -- Myungji Yang -- who is developing our specialization in Korean Politics. It is also with great sadness that we say goodbye to Jim Dator, who is retiring after over 40 years of service. His retirement marks a significant transition for the Hawaiʻi Research Center for Futures Studies, which will now be under the directorship of Jairus Grove.

Our department continues to be a leader in local and global learning and scholarship. In addition to the numerous accomplishments outlined in the brochure, we have supported and co-sponsored numerous lectures and events this year including the International Political Sociology annual conference and the Center for South Asian Studies annual symposium. We have also co-sponsored internationally known scholars Professor Yehuda Bauer, Professor Stephanie Coontz, Professor Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Professor James C. Scott, Gordon Laffer, and many more. We have also initiated a co-sponsored lecture series and candidate forum with Civil Beat in hopes of bringing the university community into conversation with the local community.

Our department also continues to provide important connections between the University and the larger community. These connections include, Colin Moore’s increasing public presence as a commentator on state elections and politics, Carolyn Stephenson’s work with Model United Nations for the high school students in the state, the on-going and numerous projects with the Hawaiʻi Research Center for Futures Studies. This year the University of Hawaiʻi Indigenous Politics (UHIP) program formalized a partnership with Hoʻoulu ʻĀina, a subsidiary of Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services, to develop place-based, ʻāina based political practice and theorizing. Graduate students in POLS 720 “Indigenous Theory” produced a video for Hoʻoulu ʻĀina in Fall 2013 and POLS 777 “Decolonial Futures” are producing a handbook that documents the Seed-to-Seed organic farming program and provides a political analysis of the program for addressing land use practice and food sovereignty issues in an urban community such as Kalihi. These projects reflect the innovative possibilities of scholarship that is community engaged.

Oliver Lee Affiliate Graduate Faculty

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

The highly controversial political science professor at the University of Hawaiʻi who was fired by the Board of Regents in 1968, has published his memoir, titled “Oliver’s Travels: The Making of a Chinese-American Radical”.

President Thomas Hamilton of the University of Hawaiʻi, under pressure from community organizations and others, in 1967 ousted Lee from the University. A two-year struggle followed, in the course of which Hamilton was terminated forthwith by the Board of Regents, though earlier it had supported him.

On the matter of Lee’s job, the Regents confirmed his termination. But by 1969 it was compelled to reverse itself by re-hiring Lee.

The Regents did so under pressure from the American Association of University Professors, from student protesters, and from the leading candidate for the University Presidency, Harlan Cleveland, who was willing to take the job but only if the Regents would follow the AAUP’s demand to reinstate Lee.

Lee resumed teaching at the University as an unflinching critic of capitalism and U.S. foreign policy, until his retirement in 2001.

Leading up to this dramatic controversy at UH, Lee had an eventful childhood in China, Nazi Germany, Mauritius, and Iran before immigrating to the U.S. in 1946. He was educated at Harvard and Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago, and came to Hawaiʻi in 1963. He says it was these experiences that made him a political radical.

Lee is married to May Yee of Boston since 1950. They have three children and five grandchildren almost all living in Hawaiʻi.

The book is available from Amazon.com at $24.95 and will soon be available in Honolulu bookstores.
