BYU Hawaii Curriculum Proposal Number [17-19] Section 2 – Overview (Support) Summary:

This PROPOSAL seeks to

Part I-Restructure the Pacific Islands Studies curriculum by offering:

(i) CORE classes including a new course (PAIS 375 – Environmental Issues and Resource Management). These PAIS courses will provide a solid foundational knowledge related to Oceania and prepare them to compete and contribute to the region. Majors are required to complete 18 credit hours.

(ii) Courses from two other categories; Humanities and Social Sciences. Majors will be required to choose 3 courses from each Category totaling 9 credit hours respectively. These courses will add depth and broaden their perspective of the region.

(iii) Articulate the LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT that is part of the CORE. It is vital that students inculcate language in the study of culture. Currently, the following Pacific languages are offered: Maori, Samoan, Tongan and Hawaiian. For students whose heritage language is not offered, they may substitute it with WLJN 445R (World Languages).

(iv) Delete the six PATHWAYS that are part of the major. Each major is required to select a PATHWAY with 9 credits altogether. With MODULARITY, Pacific Islands Studies majors will be required to complete two MINORS outside of the ARTS and HUMANITIES College. The PATHWAYS are not needed.

OVERALL: These changes will strength the program, add depth and breadth to the major and provide more choices. The total number of credits for the major will decrease from 45 to 42.

Part II-Change part of the name for PAIS 300 – Framing the Cultures of Moana Nui. Instead of using ‘Moana Nui’, change it to ‘OCEANIA’, thus making it less Polynesian- centric. The course would then be ‘Framing the Cultures of Oceania’ which will be more encompassing.

Part III-Add three courses to the ELECTIVES. One course would be from the Hawaiian Studies program (HWST 385R-3 La’au Lapa’au & Lomilomi – Hawaiian Herbs and Medicine). The content of the course is suitable for the major. The other two courses: PAIS 250 – 3 credits, Pacific Dancing & Performances; and PAIS 275 – 3 credits, Pacific Wood carving will provide more choices for the major. Students must choose 2 courses for a total of 6 elective credits.

Material selection is another important part of this course, and the students will be introduced to a wide variety of these materials and techniques used to create artwork. Part of this course will be for each student to research their own family history and stories, and use some of these stories to come up with designs for their artwork. Emphasis will not be on one specific style of the Pacific, but all styles. The instructor will work with the student to find a style that will fit the proposed design. Artwork will be displayed in an end of term exhibition (this to be determined by instructor and students, and completion of artwork). Education of students in the similarities and differences of the Polynesian carved arts.

There the students will be able to explore and identify many of the art forms we will be studying and which are housed within the Center’s islands and other locations. We will be accompanied by cultural experts from the PCC who will provide the student with additional insights into the art forms of each culture.

Course Requirements: Research paper on history of carving in Pacific, and contemporary Pacific carvers, and artists. Complete the readings before coming to class. A seminar requires active discussion with all members of the class participating. Following the field trips group and/or individual presentations will be given in the class periods. An outline of what to look for during the field trip will be provided beforehand to assist the students discovery. It is important that the students understand at the outset that the art of non-European/ Western cultures cannot be evaluated by use of Western methodology.
