The Talanoa Series
Join us for the launch of University of Washington Tacoma’s Talanoa Series with Dr. David Ga’oupu Matthew Palaita, Ph.D.
Dr. Palaita’s talk entitled, “VASA (Ocean): The Space that is Sacred--An Interdisciplinary & Decolonial Framework for Critical Pacific Islands & Oceania Studies,” explores the power of Pasefika/Oceania languages in a place like higher education. The talk shares the story of City College of San Francisco students and their movement to create a new academic major, highlighting the importance of Pasefika knowledge in the world of education, in our schools, and in our classrooms. This talk is dedicated to all our students of Oceania!
