Held in partnership with the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, this international conference encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue, by bringing together university scholars working throughout Hawai'i, the United States, Asia, and beyond to share ideas and research at the intersection of education and the arts and humanities. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.

Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study and underline its importance. Over the past year, the organizers have engaged in many cross-sectoral projects, including those with universities (the University of Barcelona, Hofstra University, UCL, University of Belgrade and Moscow State University), think tanks (the East-West Center).

The 7th IAFOR International Conference on Education in Hawaii (IICE2022) will be held alongside The IAFOR International Conference on Arts & Humanities in Hawaii (IICAH2022), and many of the sessions will concentrate on areas at the intersection of education and the arts and humanities. In keeping with IAFOR's commitment to interdisciplinary study, delegates at either conference are encouraged to attend sessions in other disciplines. Registration for either conference will allow delegates to attend sessions in the other.
