Irish Blogs

Saturday, October 23, 2004 
No room for Irish language in e-learning?  Riverdeep's chief executive says that the Irish government needs to plan its e-learning strategy and warned that Irish Gaelic may be left out in the cold. The government, or advocates of the language, to be more accurate. We took the bull by the horns ourselves in this area for Hawaiian language. It's and incredible opportunity for the language and its speakers if it is made a priority.

Ph.d In Indigenous Language and Cultural Revitalization Approved. The University of Hawai'i Board of Regents approved in concept establishment of an integrated program at UH-Hilo for a doctorate in Hawaiian and indigenous language and culture revitalization; a certificate in indigenous language and culture revitalization; and a Master of Arts in indigenous language and culture education. While the "in concept" portion of the resolution that passed was not the complete approval to proceed with implementation that we had hoped for, it was a victory and a big step forward.

This makes my own Ph.d. search much more interesting. Staying at home and pursuing this Ph.d. would be much more inexpensive than travelling to Sheffield, and more closely aligned with my own work. However, I already have a BA and MA from UH-Hilo, and see the value of pursuing a Ph.d. abroad.

I should also congratulate Dr. David McClain on his appointment as Interim President of the University of Hawai'i. He's a good man who has done a tremendous job in a very short period of time. I can see him getting the "interim" tag removed if he chooses to pursue a permanent appointment at the end of his two-year term.

Grammy Nomination Ballots Out. The Recording Academy has begun the nomination process for the 2005 Grammy Awards. This will be the first time that there will be a Hawaiian Album of the Year Grammy, and I'll proudly cast my ballot in this and a few other categories. Among the more notable nominees are Keali'i Reichel ("Ke'alaokamaile"), The Brothers Cazimero ("Some Call It Aloha... Don't Tell"), Kimo Alama Keaulana and Lei Hulu ("Hula Lives"), Ho'okena ("Cool Elevation"), Darlene Ahuna ("Bridge Between Generations") and Na Palapalai ("Ke 'Ala Beauty"). My post on NahenaheNet has full details.
