Introduction

The theme of “Shared Communities” is at the core of Hawaiʻi’s long history, from the traditional

days of Native Hawaiians caring for the land with the concept of mālama ʻāina, to the multi-ethnic

society we have today in Hawaiʻi. Native Hawaiians revered the ʻāina (land) as their elder

ancestor; therefore all communities were tasked with a kuleana (responsibility) of ensuring the

resources would sustain the people then and in the future. It is well known that different

communities specialized in diverse resources and products that would be shared with other

communities via bartering or other means. Young keiki (children) were hānai (adopted) and taken

to other communities to be raised in the style of those elders of that community. Thereby,

continuing a lineage of knowledge and expertise in the various fields of Hawaiian understanding

and application of cultural learning.

The East-West Center also is premised on the vision of collaborative study as a means for building

a peaceful, prosperous and just Asia Pacific community. This concept views learning as a

collaborative process to which each person contributes knowledge, experience, and perspective to

benefit all participants. It recognizes the importance of establishing a basis for the comfortable

exchange of ideas by building an environment of openness, trust, and responsibility—of shared

community.

Through the Community Building Institute, we hope that participants have a greater understanding

and awareness of “shared communities” as these relate to academic study, daily living and the

challenges facing the Asia Pacific region.

As we engage with one another during the Community Building Institute (CBI), we hope that

participants will find common interests and concerns with other East-West Center (EWC)

participants through shared experiences. CBI integrates team-building activities for East-West

Center communities with dialogues on issues related to Asia Pacific communities, including the

United States.

As participants from the United States, Asia, the Pacific, and beyond, we interact with many

cultures. Throughout this fall 2018 CBI, we will explore together the many connections that unite

different cultures here in Hawaiʻi at the EWC and abroad.

For this CBI, participants will be attending sessions and interacting through activities designed to

learn about other participants, the EWC, and their new home, Hawai‘i. Prior to the beginning of

the academic year at the University of Hawai‘i, the fall 2018 CBI is a two week institute to prepare

for academic life in Hawai‘i and engagement at the EWC.

The EWC Education Program, supplemented with volunteers who are current EWC participants

and staff, organizes CBI. Without the kōkua (help) from East-West Center participants and staff,

CBI could not happen. CBI is a collaborative effort, with participants, volunteers, and the EWC

staff all contributing to this unique and inspiring experience!

Definitions

Throughout CBI, we will use Hawaiian words, partly because the East-West Center is in Hawai‘i,

and partly because these Hawaiian words offer a complexity and richness not found in the English

definitions. The definitions are provided via Ulukau: The Hawaiian Electronic Library

(http://wehewehe.org/). Because some of the definitions are quite long, the full meanings (in

different contexts) may not be listed. If more information is needed, consult Ulukau.

These words may have similar meanings to concepts in your cultures and communities. As you

read these words, consider how these words differ from the terms found in your communities, or

offer similarities with those terms.

The Hawaiian words and their definitions are the following:

ahupua‘a Land division usually extending from the uplands to the sea. . . .

‘āina Land, earth. . . . . Ua mau ke ea o ka ‘āina i ka pono (motto of Hawai’i), the

life of the land is preserved in righteousness.

aloha Love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity, kindness, sentiment,

grace, charity; greeting, salutation, regards. . . .

‘ike To see, know, feel, greet, recognize, perceive, experience, be aware,

understand.

kaiāulu Community, neighborhood, village.

kuleana Right, privilege, concern, responsibility, title. . . .

mahalo Thanks, gratitude; to thank. Mahalo nui loa, thanks [you] very much. ‘Ōlelo

mahalo, compliment.

mākaukau Able, competent, capable, handy, efficient, proficient. . . .

mālama To take care of, tend, attend, care for, preserve, protect. . . .

mauka/ makai Inland/ Toward the Ocean

‘ohana Family, relative, kin group; related.

pau Finished, ended, through, terminated, completed, over, all done; final.

Goals

The goals for this fall 2018 CBI pertain to four common words: unity, community, leadership and

duty. These words, with their Hawaiian meanings, are listed below, as are the underlying goals for

CBI 2018:

Lōkahi (unity, agreement, accord, unison, harmony)

● Identify common interests and concerns of our Asia-Pacific communities.

● Share cultural experiences and identify commonalities in countries and regions of Asia and

the Pacific, as well as, identify interests and concerns unique to each country or region.

● Provide regional and interdisciplinary literacy on Asia and the Pacific.

Kaiāulu (Community, neighborhood, village)

● Learn about the cultures represented by participants in the Community Building Institute.

● Identify cultural concerns expressed by participants and speakers regarding Asia Pacific

regions or countries.

● Provide activities to share understandings of cultural values and how those apply to shared,

community living at EWC.

● Understand the work of the EWC and its role in Asia Pacific community building.

Laulima (Cooperation, joint action; lit. many hands.)

● Develop knowledge of collaborative means for greater awareness of natural phenomenon.

● Identify concepts related to creative collaboration in Asia and the Pacific.

● Explore collaboration and harmony within East-West Center Communities.

● Establish new friends and colleagues in the East-West Center community

Kuleana (Responsibility/ Duty)

● Identify concerns and strategies related to community building in Asia and the Pacific.

● Inspire participants to explore their responsibilities within the study of Asia and the Pacific.

● Provide activities to help participants identify academic responsibilities related to the many

communities of the Community Building Institute.

● Explain responsibilities of your East-West Center program and within your East-West

Center community.

● Identify opportunities for one’s own contributions to the EWC and Honolulu community

Activities and Assignments

The assignments for CBI are intended to be engaging, fun, insightful and challenging. These

assignments are based on team-building and experiential activities, as well as presentations from

speakers and experts in their fields. By the end of CBI (even if you have been at the University of

Hawaiʻi or at the East-West Center for a while), you will very likely begin to view other

participants and Asia Pacific communities anew; you will have greater awareness of these

communities and understand better how these communities are linked.

Attendance at CBI Presentations and Activities

CBI is a requirement for all new East-West Center participants. The schedule starting on page 10

identifies all the mandatory CBI presentations and activities (in shaded boxes). Any exceptions

must be cleared with either Ann Hartman (Dean of the Education Program) or your program

coordinator.

Activities

(Mandatory and Encouraged)

There will be mandatory group activities scheduled throughout CBI (see activities in shaded

boxes on schedule below). Be creative as you participate in these activities. Trust the process and

learn from others. Some activities are encouraged, but are not mandatory, such as hospitality,

tours, movies, etc. A few of these activities will occur at night (see schedule). For the encouraged

activities, we suggest that you participate in as many of these group gatherings as you can during

CBI. There will often be snacks there, and you may have fun!

Assignments

There are main assignments during CBI. These are based on academic concepts that relate to

“Shared Communities” and bring people together to share common experiences. Some of the

activities may seem challenging. However, if you trust in the process, the outcome will hopefully

be very rewarding. We worked hard to make these activities engaging and meaningful!

Presentations

Speakers and presenters during CBI deserve the utmost respect and consideration. When asking

questions or interacting during these presentations, also provide time for others, and most

importantly ensure that the speaker feels welcome to CBI. We know that there are many intelligent

people in this new group of participants. At the same time, we need to be respectful to the speaker

and others. Please refrain from side conversations during presentations and keep any questions or

statements brief, to allow time for others. Also, when asking questions, please remember to let the

speaker know your name, where you are from and your field of study, so she might have a frame

of reference and can learn a bit about you.

Keynote for Aloha Ceremony

Richard R. Vuylsteke (pronounced VUL-stek) Ph.D. took office as the East-West Center’s 11th

chief executive on 1 January 2017. A former EWC grantee and staff member, he rejoins the Center

after several decades living in Asia and serving most recently as President of the American

Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong.

Previously he served as President of the American Chamber in Taipei, Editor-in-Chief of the

Taiwan Review, and Area Studies Coordinator for the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service

Institute in Taipei. Earlier in his career, he was a research fellow in East Asian Legal Studies at

Harvard Law School as well as a Fulbright scholar at the University of Rajasthan, India.

Originally from Illinois, and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Illinois College, Dr. Vuylsteke was an

East-West Center grantee in the 1970s while he earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the

University of Hawai`i at Mānoa, specializing in Western and Chinese political philosophy. While

still a graduate student he joined the Center’s staff as a research assistant to the Director of the

Culture Learning Institute, and later worked as a special assistant to the EWC president with focus

on Pacific Community topics. In addition, he taught courses at the University of Hawai‘i and

Chaminade University in Asian history and social, political and legal philosophy. He also worked

at the Pacific Forum (now Pacific Forum/CSIS).

Prior to graduate school, he served three years in the U.S. Army, leaving active duty as a 1st

Lieutenant. While in the service, he was stationed in Hawai’i at the U.S. Army Pacific Command

(USARPAC) as Chief of the China Desk and later seconded to CINCPAC (now PACOM) as Chief

of the Soviet Far East Desk.

Dr. Vuylsteke is married to Josephine Wu Vuylsteke, a former broadcast journalist; they have

three sons.

Staff and Instructors

Ms. Ann Hartman, MA is Dean of the East-West Center Education Program. She provides

overall leadership for the Center’s graduate student programs, ensuring an enriching intellectual,

social and cultural experience for students in residence at the EWC, a cooperative relationship with

the University of Hawaiʻi, and international partnerships with institutions across the Asia Pacific

region.

Previously, she spent 15 years in the Seminars Program at the East-West Center, coordinating

short-term professional development and exchange experiences for journalists, young leaders and

women entrepreneurs. She led the East-West Center’s two flagship short-term dialogue and

exchange programs: the Jefferson Fellowships for journalists and the New Generation Seminar for

young leaders. Through this work, she built partnerships in and led visits to Cambodia, China,

Indonesia, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Pakistan, Myanmar and India in Asia and cities

across the US from Boston to Seattle on topics such as climate change, health, education, the

politics of globalization, Asia Pacific security and the U.S. role, the future of jobs, the South China

Sea, and heritage preservation. From 2011-2014, she designed and led a Pakistan-U.S. Journalists


8

Exchange, bridging gaps in understanding between the two countries through study tours and

dialogue. She raised and managed more than $3 million in grant funding. From 2008-2017, she

was the co-coordinator for the Changing Faces Women’s Leadership Seminar, a training program

for female innovator entrepreneurs. Ms. Hartman co-authored the book chapter, “Changing Faces

Women’s Leadership Seminar: A Model for Increasing Asia Pacific Women’s Entrepreneurial

Participation,” in the 2014 academic text Women and Leadership Around the World.

Ms. Hartman came to the East-West Center in 2002 from a career in teaching, training, and

program administration. She was Associate Peace Corps Director for programming and training in

Uzbekistan (1997–2001), where she assured quality work assignments and training for 150

volunteers and positive development outcomes for the Government of Uzbekistan. She was a

Peace Corps volunteer teacher and teacher trainer in Multan, Pakistan (1990-1991) and Stara

Zagora, Bulgaria (1991-1993).

Ms. Hartman received her master’s degree in international education from the Center for

International Education at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and her BA from St. Olaf

College in Minnesota. She has teaching certifications in social studies and English as a second

language.

Alapaki Luke was born and raised in Hawai‘i and is a EWC ‘03 alumnus (Kamehameha Schools

Bishop Estate‒East-West Center Native Hawaiian Degree Fellow). He plants taro at his lo‘i (taro

patch) in Kahana Valley in the Ko‘olauloa district of O‘ahu Island and makes poi (pounded taro)

on a regular basis for the ‘ohana (family) and the community. Since August 2002, Alapaki has

coordinated or facilitated various activities for the two-week orientation, now known as CBI, for

incoming EWC students which instills in them an appreciation for Hawai‘i’s native people and the

host culture. During their time with Alapaki, they experience the true spirit of the ‘āina (land) and

the metaphors within. Both of Alapaki’s grandmothers are Hawaiian, and he was fortunate to be

raised within the Hawaiian culture.

At the University of Hawai‘i’s Honolulu Community College, Alapaki is the Kūlana Hawai‘i:

Hawaiian Programs Division Chair and the Hawaiian Studies Coordinator, teaching courses in

Hawaiian Studies, Hawaiian Language, and Geography of Hawai‘i. He also lectures for Hawaiian

Studies and Geography at the UH Mānoa campus. Alapaki has served on the “Hawai‘i Papa o Ke

Ao” task force for the University of Hawai‘i at the system level. This group is tasked with

developing a plan to make the University of Hawai‘i a leader in indigenous education. Alapaki was

the chairman of the State of Hawai‘i Taro Security and Purity Task Force, an entity established by

State Law to gather information from the taro communities in Hawai‘i and address issues to

perpetuate the industry and cultural lifestyle.

He still finds time to be one of the most active EWC alumni; organizing CBI sessions, presenting

for various seminars and programs, and facilitating field trips for EWC groups. He has served on

the EWCA scholarship committee and has also served as Vice-President for Participant Affairs on

the EWCA International Board. In 2010, Alapaki received the EWC Alumni Hawai‘i Chapter’s

“Outstanding Service Award.”

Sophie Sidhu, M.A. Sophie serves as Student Programs Coordinator within the East-West

Center’s Education Program, where she is responsible for coordinating and organizing key areas of


9

the Center’s fast growing Student Affiliate Program and Affiliate Scholar Program, as well as

other related areas. Sophie comes to us most recently from Cornell University, where she spent

five years as Associate Dean of Students and Director of the Asian & Asian American Center, and

four years prior as Assistant Dean of Students for Diversity Education & Outreach. Sophie has also

worked on diversity and community-building initiatives at Columbia University, Hampshire

College and the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa and has interned with UNICEF India.

Sophie holds an M.A. in International Educational Development/Peace Education from Columbia

University, Teachers College, and a B.A. in International Studies from Hampshire College. She

has been published by UNICEF for her research on gender equality and human rights education in

India.

He has a Ph.D. in Sociology with Graduate Certificate in Urban and Regional Planning from the

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. His professional interests include international higher education,

strategic organizational/program planning, alternative dispute resolution, cooperative conflict

management/reduction/resolution, and court system legitimacy in postcolonial societies.

Kūhiō Vogeler, Ph.D. has been a Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate‒East-West Center Native

Hawaiian Degree Fellow (1994–1995), a Graduate Degree Fellow (2005–2007), and twice a

Student Affiliate (1995–1998 and 2007–2009). He has over twenty years of experience researching

Hawai‘i’s unique cultural and political landscape. He has taught classes on Political Science,

Political Theory, Politics of Hawai‘i, Protest under Occupation, and Public Law and Judicial

Behavior. Dr. Vogeler completed his doctoral dissertation in 2009 in International

Law/International Relations. His expertise focuses on international legal issues and international

relations related to Hawai‘i, the Baltic States, and other occupations. As the International Programs

Specialist at the East-West Center, Dr. Vogeler also coordinates the Graduate Degree Fellow

program, the Student Affiliate program, and the Obuchi Student Scholarship.

Presenters

Hannah Im, Psy.D. As a child of missionaries, she was born in South Korea but spent most of her

formative years in Kenya where the seeds of her core values for cross-cultural service were

initially planted. Hannah moved to the United States after high school where she completed her

BA in Political Science at the University of Michigan and moved on to get her MA, then her

doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Wheaton College. She also recently became a US citizen and

proudly identifies herself as a first-generation immigrant. Given her background in traversing and

often negotiating vastly different cultural realities, she is particularly sensitive to understanding

barriers to adequate and accessible mental health services for underserved communities and work

hard to co-create meaningful conversations where the stigma around mental health can be reduced,

new help-seeking approaches can be co-created and clinical services can be increasingly culturally

informed.


10

For the last four years, she has enjoyed her work as a staff therapist at the Counseling and Student

Development Center, where she has been able to journey together with an amazing group of

students who have sought out and utilized their counseling services. Hannah approaches her work

as a therapist with a strong multicultural emphasis, which is grounded in the belief that our

identities are profoundly shaped by systemic and cultural forces. As such, she seeks to listen

deeply to the experiences of her clients and co-create a safe and insight-driven approach where her

clients can move toward growth and wholeness.

Prior to her work at the CSDC, she received her doctorate in psychology (Psy.D.) through

Wheaton College. Her clinical training experiences have been deliberately diverse in nature in her

attempt to be a generalist practitioner and have included working at community counseling centers

in South Chicago, in educational settings in Nairobi, Kenya, and in University Counseling Centers

in the Chicago suburbs and now at the University of Hawaiʻi.

Nanako Iwasa, M.Ed. is an instructor of intercultural communication and a PhD student at the

Graduate School of Education, Hokkaido University (HU). Since 2003, she has collaborated on

various projects with the Ainu, who are the indigenous people of Japan. She was one of the

researchers from the Center for Ainu & Indigenous Studies, HU working on the “Ainu Treasures:

A Living Tradition in Northern Japan” in collaboration with the EWC Art Gallery in 2013. Her

study interest is in indigenous education, especially for indigenous adults in local communities

focused on the Ainu people and the Native Hawaiians. She developed an educational and acting-

based simulation game, “Project PAL: Hawaii” for solving social issues in Waiʻanae, O’ahu with

Native Hawaiian educators. This study was approved by the IGSC (International Graduate

Students Conference) at EWC in February, 2018.
