Specialist Faculty member, University of Hawai`i at Manoa
Director, p4c Hawai`i and the Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education

“philosophy for children Hawai‘i (p4c Hawai‘i) is an innovative approach to education that is transforming the schooling experience by engaging people in the activity of philosophy. The p4c Hawai‘i approach aids students and teachers in converting traditional classrooms into intellectually safe communities of inquiry. Together, they develop their ability to think for themselves in responsible ways by exploring “big questions” that arise from their interests, experiences, and learning contexts. The school visit on Thursday is tied into the keynote address to see “philosophy for children" in action in the classrooms.
