Hawaii International Conference on Education: A Call for Papers
The Hawaii International Conference on Education (IICE), alongside The International Conference on Arts & Humanities in Hawaii (IICAH), serves as a forum stimulating respectful dialogue, bringing together university scholars working throughout Hawaii, the United States, Asia, and beyond to share ideas and research at the intersection of education and the arts and humanities. This dual conference event, part of the IAFOR American Conference Series, is held in partnership with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Academics and scholars are encouraged to meet and exchange ideas and views.
A Platform for Interdisciplinary Exchange
Since its founding, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. Through conferences like these, IAFOR expands its network and partners, offering a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practice, and for the meeting of people and ideas. IAFOR promotes and facilitates new multifaceted approaches to one of the core issues of our time, namely globalisation and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts across the world of education, and its subsequent impact on societies, institutions and individuals, is a driving force in educational policies and practices across the globe.
The conferences present those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience, encouraging interdisciplinary discussion, facilitating heightened intercultural awareness and promoting international exchange. In short, IAFOR’s conferences on education are about change, transformation and social justice.

Themes and Focus
Our four themes can be seen as standalone themes, but they are also very much in conversation with each other. Themes may be seen as corollaries, complementary, or in opposition/juxtaposition with each other.
IAFOR’s conferences on education have these issues at their core. Globalised education systems are becoming increasingly socially, ethnically and culturally diverse. However, education is often defined through discourses embedded in Western paradigms as globalised education systems become increasingly determined by dominant knowledge economies. Policies, practices and ideologies of education help define and determine ways in which social justice is perceived and acted out. What counts as "education" and as "knowledge" can appear uncontestable but is in fact both contestable and partial. In many educational settings and contexts throughout the world, there remains an assumption that teachers are the possessors of knowledge which is to be imparted to students, and that this happens in neutral, impartial and objective ways. However, learning is about making meaning, and learners can experience the same teaching in very different ways.
