We have chosen the theme, “(Dis) Connections: The Heroic via Word, Image & Practice” with the hope that this breadth of scope will encourage participation from other academic units in CALL, as well as from a wide-ranging and diverse group of national and international scholars. The broad nature of the conference will serve to enrich the debate on the representation of the heroic in contemporary society from multidisciplinary perspectives.

The Early Years
The Early Years
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa was founded in 1907 under the Morrill Act as a land-grant college of agriculture and mechanic arts. Regular classes began the following year with President John Gilmore at the helm and five freshmen, five preparatory students, and 13 faculty in temporary quarters near Honolulu’s Thomas Square. In 1912 the newly-named College of Hawaiʻi relocated to Mānoa Valley and the first permanent building—known today as Hawaiʻi Hall—was erected amid pig farms and kiawe groves.
About the Hawaiian Language
About the Hawaiian Language
Hawaiian is a Polynesian language spoken on all of the inhabited islands of Hawaiʻi with only minor dialectical differences between them. In the nineteenth century, Hawaiian became a written language. At the same time, it became the language of the Hawaiian government in public offices, the courts, the school system and the legislature. In addition, it was the most widely used language among the general public, which included foreigners and various local ethnic groups. However, with the subjugation of Hawaiʻi under the rule of the United States in 1898, Hawaiian was supplanted and English became the official language for all government offices and transactions. By the turn of the century, a Hawaiʻi Creole language had begun to develop. This hybrid was the result of two language dynamics occurring simultaneously: 1) the attempt suddenly of a public, heretofore accustomed to communicating in Hawaiian, to speak now in English, and 2) the Pidgin Hawaiian that was spoken by immigrants.
