Unwriting Oceania Dialogue

Aloha, halo olketa, nisa bula vinaka, namaste, talofa lava, malo e lelei, kia orana, taloha ni, kona mauri, hafa adai, alii, iokwe yuk, and fakaalofa lahi atu......

Steven Winduo's class on (can you guess?) Unwriting Oceania, would like to invite any interested parties to participate in an interactive dialogue regarding the issues surrounding all aspects of Pacific Island Studies.  As we are always challenging each other and ourselves to be critical of what we read/view/hear and how Pacific Islanders and their/our cultures are represented, constructed, viewed, mediated, and imagined, this forum is your opportunity to have your voice heard, included, and responded too. 

We will send invitations to all the scholars/writers/authors/artists in our own small tribe of Pacific Island Studies, as well as those of us in mutually inter-related studies.  We look forward to your participation and to some very interesting exchanges of ideas.

Remember, we are all positioned differently and all bring something unique and valuable to the discussions, so, please respect the opinions and experiences expressed by all who choose to share on this new and exciting forum.

Looking forward to reading/hearing all of your voices.

Thanking you in advance for your invaluable participation...
