Education during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed drastically for both students and instructors. Here in Hawaiʻi<\/span>, educators that teach on ʻāina<\/span> (land)-based educational sites are coming together to share challenges and lessons learned. The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa American studies department has organized the Huakaʻi<\/span> Education Initiative (HEI<\/abbr>) and will host a two-part webinar series, “Planting Pilina Amidst a Pandemic” on July 16 and July 23.<\/p>\n

The series is open to the public and can be accessed through Zoom<\/a>. Leaders from various ʻāina<\/span> organizations will be featured as panelists.<\/p>\n

“We trust that participants in our series will be inspired by the deep relationships shared between our panelists and the ʻāina<\/span> that they steward,” said Logan Narikawa<\/strong>, an American studies graduate assistant. “It is our wish that attendees will commit themselves to take care of ʻāina<\/span> and nurture reciprocal relationships with organizations that manage ʻāina<\/span>. We further hope that attendees will understand this dual commitment to be a way of clarifying our priorities in this moment of tremendous societal transformation.”<\/p>\n

Panel 1: July 16, 11 a.m.–12p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n
