Center for Pacific Island Studies

occasional seminar series

The center sponsors a twice-monthly noontime seminar series during the spring and fall semesters. The seminars, which are often cosponsored with the East-West Center Pacific Islands Development Program as well as other units on campus, feature visiting dignitaries and academics; University of Hawai‘i faculty and graduate students; Pacific writers, artists, and filmmakers; and others whose work is focused on the Pacific. The topics are wide-ranging and attract a varied audience from on and off campus. To be placed on the mailing list for upcoming seminars, please telephone the center at 808-956-7700 or e-mail cpis@hawaii.edu.
