Scholars' Library: Damon Salesa on 'An Indigenous Ocean: Pacific Essays' - Online
In our August event, Damon Salesa will discuss his book ‘An Indigenous Ocean: Pacific Essays’.
Damon Salesa is the Vice-Chancellor of the Auckland University of Technology. He is an interdisciplinary scholar who works on Oceania, especially history, politics and culture.
Damon is a prizewinning author who specializes in the interdisciplinary study of the Pacific, and has published on race, politics, history and society. Alongside a disciplinary background in history, and a career in the interdisciplinary formations such as Pacific Studies, his work draws insight from indigenous Pacific, particularly Samoan, culture and practice. He is also actively engaged with critical work in education, innovation and pedagogy, and is a publicly engaged scholar around questions of inequality, politics and education.
Part of the Lifelong Fellowship portfolio, The Scholars’ Library is a monthly book talk series, where Rhodes alumni can come together to present, discover and debate their literary works. If you’re interested in getting involved, please reach out to Nayana Niji at alumni@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk
