This item includes a segment of an instructor interview in a Writing Intensive course in Geography at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The interview was conducted in 2015, and in this clip the interviewee is responding to the question 'What elements of your syllabus and classroom plans reflect a place-based approach?'Brief excerpt from interview: [I] always like to have some kind of field trip and so this semester in Culture and Environment we went to the Hālawa Valley heiau as part of the class. This is a heiau that is located under H3 and is an important sacred space for Native Hawaiians... it was kind of an eye-opening experience [for students who haven't been to a sacred space before] because the guides during our experience talked a lot about not just culture and the environment but also politics, economics, and everything else that's involved with the preservation of sacred spaces in Hawaiʻi
