Education Under Globalization: Diversity as Goal or Golem?

Wednesday, June 27, 7:00pm • Art Building Auditorium.
Free and open to the general public.

Globalization processes are multiplying and magnifying differences, both within and among societies. Multiculturalism and diversity have become key educational realities and ideals. This talk questions the meaning of difference and whether we are settling for mere variety in education—the look of multiculturalism, but not its spirit—or if we aiming for deep diversity: communities in which differences are seen as openings for sustained, mutual contribution.

Peter Hershock is coordinator of the Asian Studies Development Program at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Trained in Asian and comparative philosophy and Buddhist practice, Hershock has focused his research on applying Buddhist conceptual and critical resources in addressing contemporary issues.

The annual Shiro Amioka Lecture features prominent leaders in the field of education and school reform. The late Shiro Amioka, UHM professor of education, also served as chancellor of the UH Community Colleges, superintendent of the State Department of Education, and associate dean of UHM Summer Session. The guest lecturer is selected by the faculty of the Department of Educational Foundations, where Dr. Amioka taught philosophy of education.

Co-sponsored by Outreach College and the College of Education, with support from the Shiro Amioka Lecture Endowment Fund at the University of Hawai‘i Foundation.
