Multilingual multicultural University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa?

Recently, UHM administrators issued a call for proposals to constitute “Strategic Initiatives” for our campus. With two other professors (Dr. Yoshimi, Director of the Flagship Roadmap project, and Dr. Halagao, College of Education; more about them and their areas soon) I was able to obtain support for a three-semester project looking into and promoting aspects of the multilingual and multicultural aspects of our campus, our course offerings, and our research capabilities and agendas (with a view to having a long term effect beyond UHM).

The project hopes to have some impact on how people at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, and elsewhere in the State, think about being multilingual (etc.), I am exploring here restarting this long-dormant blog.
