| Islands of Globalization is a collaborative research and instructional project of the East-West Center's Pacific Islands Development Program (PIDP) and the Center for Pacific Islands Studies (CPIS), funded by the Ford Foundation. The project seeks to enhance understandings of the origins, nature and consequences of globalization from the perspective of small island societies, and in the context of changing notions of "islandness." Islands of Globalization focuses on the Caribbean and Pacific regions, and pursues pedagogical, policy and popular research that engages different types of audiences: intellectuals, academics, and students; artists; policy makers; and members of the general public. The project will establish collaborative relationships with educational institutions in the Pacific and Caribbean to explore historical and contemporary linkages between the regions, and to develop shared curriculum. Other outcomes will include faculty and student exchanges, scholarly publications, and multi-media products. |
