NOW ENROLLING: Study Hawaiian Philosophy with Bruce Ka’imi Watson this Fall:
“This course offers the opportunity to explore manaʻo ʻŌiwi by creating space for the manaʻo to define themselves in their original context through a hosted exploration of ʻŌiwi Hermeneutics and the Aboriginal knowledge system of Hawaiʻi. Fixed firmly in moʻolelo this class prioritizes oral tradition and therefore orality. Moʻolelo is a complex, evolving story with a firm foundation grounded in space/place specific knowledge and experience acquired over generations.
The University of Hawaiʻi recognizes that "As the only provider of public higher education in Hawaiʻi, the university embraces its unique responsibilities to the indigenous people of Hawaiʻi and to Hawaiʻi’s indigenous language and culture. To fulfill this responsibility, the university ensures active support for the participation of Native Hawaiians at the university and support vigorous programs of study and support for the Hawaiian language, history, and culture."
This course creates a space and opportunity to experience the Aboriginal/Indigenous philosophy of Hawaiʻi in Hawaiʻi so that each student can be better equipped to develop an understanding for themselves of what it means to attend an Indigenous Serving Institution which aspires to be a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning.” - Bruce Kaʻimi Watson PhD
