Hawaii Chapter
The Hawaii ASA is centered around the Department of American Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. While many members of HASA are faculty and students in the department, HASA also reaches out to interested scholars and students in other departments and universities in the island.
Reflecting Hawaii’s unique geographical, political, and cultural location in the U.S./Pacific and the issues and debates that arise from it, the strength of HASA program is on American-Pacific-Asian connections as well as more general issues in American Studies. For many years, HASA has sponsored an annual research conference where graduate students present scholarly papers and receive professional critiques. Periodic colloquia feature local and visiting scholars. HASA also hosts occasional social events to encourage and facilitate interactions among scholars in the field.
Recent Chapter Activities:
The activities of the chapter continue to be directed primarily to filling the needs of the American Studies graduate students at the University of Hawaii. Much of our energy was spent in participation in working with the faculty in support of the department’s efforts to recruit for faculty positions and efforts via letters and meetings with the Dean regarding University budget cutbacks and vacancies from retirement that are unfilled. In addition to the listed events, we participated in numerous lengthy faculty meetings regarding curriculum, personnel matters, recruitment of students, and budget.
