Description
This course lies at the heart of graduate studies in Pacific Studies at the University of Auckland and aims to give students a deeper understanding of Pacific Studies as an interdiscipline, an understanding of its constituent parts, its intellectual and institutional genealogy, its diversities and its challenges, as well as exploring some specific iterations of Pacific Studies and a few of its key debates.
