8:00: Continental Breakfast
8:25: Announcements/Housekeeping
8:30: Placing Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War in a global context: A perspective from "Down-Under" - Doug Trevaskis, Senior Lecturer and Manager, Studies of Asia Professional Development Program, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia
Different perspectives on map worldview
Australia's Pearl Harbor (February 19, 1942) - Japanese air raid on Darwin
The Battle of Isurava (August 26-9, 1942)
Australia in 1941
Nervous about invasion from the north
Heavily reliant on Britain
Had already been at war since September 3, 1939 so most troops were already out of the nation
Pearl Harbor had immediate impact on Australia
Shock, vulnerability, relief (because it got US involved)
Australia moved from relying on Britain to United States because Britain did not come through with protection of Australia
1141 Japanese interned within 24 hours of Pearl Harbor
Up close and personal with Americans suddenly
19000 Australian military killed, 22000 captured
Darwin bombed 63 more times
1 US destroyer sunk
Northern Australia continually air raided
Instructions for American troops book
Number of cases of friendly fire between US/Australia
The Battle of Brisbane - brawling due to fight between US MPs and US/Australian troops
Reasons for bitterness toward Japanese
Commencing hostilities without declaring war
Disregard for Geneva convention
Treatment of captives (torture, beheading)
Cannibalism
Attacks on hospital ships
"comfort women"
10:00: Break
10:15: Pearl Harbor school visit program, "Witness to History" video conference, and "Pennies for Pearl Harbor" community service intiative - Paul Heintz, Director of Education, Arizona Memorial Museum Association
10:40: Developing lesson ideas for "Teaching Pearl Harbor through multiple perspectives": Small Group Work
My small group got a lot accomplished on our lesson plan concept "Overcoming barriers to reconciliation." I organized our work into a short, simple power point to help guide us through the presentation.
We made a great presentation as a group and we were the only group where all group members actively presented. I opened the presentation by saying: "Konichiwa. Watashi wa New Jersey no Mingle des." This translates into: "Hello. I am Mingle from New Jersey." I used my small arsenal of Japanese phrases throughout the week when I talked to Japanese teachers and they all loved it because they did not expect it. As I have learned through my previous experiences, Japanese people especially enjoy foreigners attempting to speak to them in Japanese. This is true in many other countries as well, but I have found it most rewarding with Japan.
A number of Japanese teachers made presentations today to share some resources they brought or to present us with small gifts they brought from home. Pretty amazing how completely prepared the Japanese teachers were for this experience - much more so than the American teachers.
12:30: Lunch

4:00: Becoming an East-West Center Associate
