The Labor of Being a Guest
So you want to attend a professional conference being held in Hawaiʻi. You’re a self-reflective enough scholar to recognize that such a trip may merit some ethical reckoning given the past and present realities of settler colonialism in Hawaiʻi. What do you do? This webinar does not offer one answer as to how to be an ethical conference tourist in Hawaiʻi, or any other place. Rather, this webinar offers those interested in this question some models of how to be in relation to place and people in Hawaiʻi. This webinar asks participants to learn Kanaka Maoli cultural protocol (specifically oli mahalo, a chant of gratitude) and to listen to a frank discussion between Dr. Monisha Das Gupta, Dr. Nohelani Teves, and Dr. Maile Arvin which will range across themes of conference tourism, tokenizing Kanaka Maoli thought on Asian American Studies syllabi, and how our commitments to being in good relation to Hawaiʻi are lessons that can be applied and practiced everywhere.
