CRG Research Working Group On Pacific Island Studies

The Pacific Island Studies Research Working Group offers a forum for scholars working on, or interested in, Pacific Island histories and cultures at the University of California, Berkeley. It is designed to bring together scholars and graduate students to meet, share, and discuss work on the Pacific. This group will meet weekly to read and discuss work on the Pacific in a congenial Pacific environment. This group will also organize a Pacific Island Studies Speaker Series that will collaborate with and support the objectives and interests of the Pacific Island Studies Research Working Group.

CRG Dissertation Writing Group on Race & Ethnicity
The CRG now sponsors an interdisciplinary dissertation writing group. We welcome graduate students from both the Humanities and Social Sciences who share a common scholarly interest in the study of race and ethnicity. The purpose of the group is to support and encourage members to start, continue, or finish their dissertations. Each member is asked to submit a chapter draft that the group discusses and critiques. We meet monthly. Please contact Alia Pan at acypan@berkeley.edu for any inquiries.
