  • 2015 Final Programopens in a New Window
    Welcome to the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities Aloha! We welcome you to the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities. For more than a decade, this event has offered a unique opportunity for academics and other professionals from around the globe to share their broad array of knowledge and perspectives. The primary goal of the conference is to provide those with cross- disciplinary interests related to arts and humanities to meet and interact with others inside and outside their own discipline. The international aspect of the conference brings a truly diverse variety of viewpoints shaped by different cultures, languages, geography and politics. This diversity is also captured in the Hawaii International Conference’s unique cross- disciplinary approach. The resulting interaction energizes research as well as vocation. With Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and the vast South Pacific as the backdrop, this venue is an important dimension of this conference. For centuries a stopping place of explorers, Hawaii has historically been enriched by the blend of ideas that have crossed our shores. The Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities continues this tradition in the nurturing spirit of Aloha. Along with its ideal weather and striking beauty, the Hawaiian Islands provide natural elements to inspire learning and dialogue. This year we have more than 325 participants representing more than 16 countries. Thank you for joining the 2015 Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities! The 2016 Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities is tentatively scheduled for January 11 – 14, 2016 at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Oral History in Canada: 1980 – 2012
    Annotated Bibliography of Oral History in Canada: 1980 – 2012 Kristina R. Llewellyn and Dana Nowak, Renison University College, Waterloo University Oral history in Canada has flourished over the past two decades. There is a lack of knowledge, however, regarding the depth of publications in the field and the numerous scholars across the country who are engaged in oral history methods. This annotated bibliography is intended to act as a research guide for interdisciplinary scholars in the field. The bibliography was completed in the fall of 2012 by Dr. Kristina R. Llewellyn and her research assistant Dana Nowak. The authors conducted extensive searches in social sciences and humanities library databases for published works in the field of oral history with a Canadian subject focus. Keyword searches associated with oral history were inclusive of, but not exclusive to, oral tradition, narrative, storytelling, and folklore. Some additions were made to the bibliography based on the authors’ knowledge of other published works. The annotations are those provided by the authors and/or publishers (some with minor grammatical changes). The bibliography is only a partial list of Canadian oral history publications. The search methods particularly limited the findings for chapters in edited collections and articles published in journals outside the social sciences and humanities. Oral History Forum d’histoire orale is committed to updating this bibliography as the field continues to develop. A Anderson, Kim. Life Stages and Native Women Memory, Teachings, and Story Medicine. Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2011. Life Stages and Native Women explores how life stages and responsibilities of Métis, Cree, and Anishinaabe women were integral to the health and well-being of their communities during the mid- 20th century.
