New P2P Blog

Instead of sending e-mail updates this summer, I created a blog dedicated to the Japan delegation. For those interested in following along, bookmark http://p2p2008.blogspot.com. There isn't much of anything there now, but it will be updated as frequently as possible once the delegation departs on July 4.

Pearl Harbor Workshop

"We are happy to inform you that you have been selected to participate in the July 26-August 1, 2008 program of the East-West Center's NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture workshop, 'Pearl Harbor: History, Memory, Memorial.'"

I will be one of 40 middle/high school social studies teachers from the United States attending this session.

The workshop will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, and will involve visits to the USS Arizona Memorial, and other historic sites around the island of Oahu, such as Fort DeRussy Army Museum, Hickam Army Airfield, the Ford Island Naval Air Station, and the National Cemetery of the Pacific. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit the Battleship Missouri Memorial, the Pacific Aviation Museum, and the USS Bowfin Submarine and Museum, also at Pearl Harbor.

The July 26-August 1, 2008 workshop sessions will be held at the East-West Center. The Center’s 21-acre campus is centrally located in Honolulu’s Manoa Valley and adjacent to the University of Hawaii and its main research library, which houses extensive collections on Hawaiian and Asia Pacific studies.

Additional program information can be found here.
