"Indigenous Pacific Islander Eco-Literatures": Book Talk with the Editors
04.13.2023 | 4:00 – 5:00 PM | Zoom Webinar
with Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner (Marshall Islander poet, performance artist, educator), Leora Kava (Hafekasi poet of mixed Tongan and pālangi descent, Assistant Professor of Critical Pacific Islands and Oceania Studies, San Francisco State University), and Craig Santos Perez (Chamoru (Chamorro)(Pacific Island of Guåhan (Guam)) poet, scholar, editor, publisher, essayist, critic, book reviewer, artist, environmentalist, and political activist).
Join editors Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, Leora Kava, and Craig Santos Perez in a conversation about the work of bringing poets together from Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the global Pacific diaspora. Each writer will select a poem from the anthology and speak to how the poem reorients our understanding of gender, Indigeneity, or queerness in Pacific Islander studies.
The Radical Kinship Series is curated and hosted by CRG’s Arts and Humanities Initiative Research Scholar, Alán Pelaez Lopez. This series is sponsored by the Center for Race and Gender, the Multicultural Community Center, the Gender Equity Resource Center (GenEq), the LGBTQ Citizenship Cluster - Othering & Belonging Institute, and the Townsend Center for the Humanities.
