The Study of Russia from the Center of the Pacific
February 18, 3:30pm - 5:00pmMānoa Campus, Hamilton 306
Professor Amir Khisamutdinov (Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences) will present "The Study of Russia from the Center of the Pacific." Hawai脢禄i芒鈧劉s role in the development of international relations between Russia/Soviet Union and Asia-Pacific region countries is long and complex. This talk will begin by looking at the round-the-world voyages from St. Petersburg via Honolulu to Alaska, and then to the Russian Far East. The establishment of diplomatic relations with Hawai脢禄i in 1860 increased connections between Russia and the United States. In the early twentieth century, Russian laborers were brought to work on Hawaiian sugar plantations, becoming a permanent part of the local community.
Russian Studies became a fundamental part of the University of Hawai脢禄i芒鈧劉s curriculum following Ella Wiswell芒鈧劉s establishment of the program for teaching Russian language in 1954. This work was followed by the contributions of UH History Professors Klaus Menhert, John White, and John Stephan, each of whom made great contributions to the study of Russia and its role in Northeast Asia. In addition the unique collection of Russian 脙漏migr脙漏 materials from China, Korea, Japan, Australia, the Pacific coast of the U.S., and South America, are housed in Hamilton芒鈧劉s library.
The presentation will be followed by a reception.
