5th Annual Pacific Islands Universities Research Network (PIURN) Conference
The theme for the 2023 conference 'exploring this sea of islands' engages with the work of one of the Pacific's most revered academics, Epeli Hau'ofa. In his work We are the Ocean, Hau'ofa wrote of Oceania: 'Just as the sea is an open and ever flowing reality, so should our oceanic identity transcend all forms of insularity, to become one that is openly searching, inventive and welcoming.'
