The University of Hawaiʻi–West Oʻahu is currently taking applications for its Ethnomathematics Summer Institute, which will be held May 20–June 2. Now in its fifth year, this groundbreaking program allows University of Hawaiʻi faculty, staff and students to design and implement mathematics grounded in the ethnic, historical and cultural diversities of Hawaiʻi.
Institute scholars will participate in field studies to the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology’s Coconut Island in Kāneʻohe Bay and Mokauea Island Fishing Village in Keʻehi Lagoon. Scholars will also sail with the Polynesian Voyaging Society around Oʻahu and hike to Kalaupapa on the island of Hawaiʻi students who have passed MATH 100, faculty and staff are invited to apply. Neighbor island participants will be responsible for flights and accommodations while on Oʻahu.
