Interview with Jim Henry and Dawne Bost. Scholarspace. Sep. 2015. Web.http://hdl.handle.net/10125/38490This item includes a segment of an an instructor interview in a Writing Intensive course in Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The interview was conducted in 2013 and in this clip the interviewee is describing challenges local students may face in this course.Brief excerpt from interview: The local students will usually bring up the local perspective in class—and I'll bring it up, too—some of the issues are contentious. Say, geothermal power. Some in the Hawaiian community are against it, some are for it. Siting wind farms is a problem, but that's also national and global . . . a 'not in my back yard' kind of thing . . . So in class, we have a local perspective, a national perspective, and international students bring the international perspective. Our island environment has some unique challenges that are brought to bear. And often we talk about importation of our food. Our food has to travel 2,000 miles to get here. And we get 90% of our food from the mainland. And most of our energy is imported in the form of petroleum. And that's an acute awareness that this class arrives at by the end of it.Duration: 00:01:55Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statesplace-based writingwriting across the curriculumwriting in the disciplinesWriting Intensive coursesscholarship of teaching and learningwriting pedagogygeneral education requirementsidentitykind of learningeducational contextsense of placeidentitycommunity needsaudiencerenewable energywater rightsdevelopmentpermittinghydroelectric power plantswind turbinescommunity involvementgroup projectsUH ManoaWaimanaloNorth ShoreOahufeasibilityproposalspursuing projects post-semestercampus facilities departmentlocal studentsneighborhood perspectivegrounding studentsmaking coursework more realInterview
