People, Migration and Culture in the Pacific
PACS101 provides students with a broad understanding of key issues in the Pacific. A number of questions animate this discussion: who are the people of the Pacific? Where did they come from? How did they come to this region? What have they been doing since they arrived? What is their future in the region? These questions are addressed by a team of men and women from different disciplines, most live, work in and draw from the Pacific region. The course adopts a multidisciplinary approach. It is an area studies course bringing together theories and perspectives from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, history and political science to bear on analyzing the region. Students should find this beneficial. Those who are new to university will be exposed to different scholarly disciplines, and those already working within a particular discipline should find many opportunities to apply the theories and approaches they are familiar with. Ultimately, the course should enable students to engage in intelligent discussions about the Pacific.
