Dr. Nolan Malone holds a Ph.D. in demography from the University of Pennsylvania. His specific areas of expertise are demography, research methods, racial and ethnic well-being, culture-based education, Native Hawaiian history and culture, and integration/acculturation in the United States.
Dr. Malone most recently was Vice President for Pacific Operations at McREL International, Director of McREL’s Pacific Center for Changing the Odds, and Director of the REL Pacific contract. Prior to his work at McREL, Dr. Malone served as a director of Research & Evaluation at Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, Hawai’i, as a demographic analyst at the U.S. Census Bureau, as a project manager at the University of Pennsylvania’s Population Studies Center, and as a research associate at the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C.
Keaomālamalama-the 2015 Native Hawaiian Education Summit- took place over two days from July 20-21, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ka‘iwakīloumoku Hawaiian Cultural Center at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Campus.
The summit was an opportunity for attendees to interact with speakers, panelists, and peers from various communities and entities on topics related to the forward movement of Hawaiian education.
Last year, summit participants ratified two goals-to advance ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i expectations and practices and to actualize and increase the use and practice of ‘ike Hawai‘i. Both goals will be used to reinforce the vision that in 10 years, kānaka will thrive through the foundation of Hawaiian language, values, practices and wisdom of our kūpuna and new ʻike to sustain abundant communities.
This year’s summit took steps towards making progress to achieving two goals-‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i and ‘Ike Hawai‘i--and defining what success should look like for Native Hawaiians in the future.
