Anthropology at the
Asia Pacific Hawai‘i
Focus
Formally established in 1934, the
Department of Anthropology at the
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa works in
and across the traditional subfields of
the discipline, with particular focus in
Hawai‘i, Asia, the Pacific islands, and the
United States.
Our department is a world center for the
study of Hawai‘i, Asia, and the Pacific
islands. Our location in the Pacific and
our close relationship with UH schools
for Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific study
offer a rich and nurturing environment
for the study of the Pacific, Asia, and the
United States.
The Department is committed to critical
inquiry, advocacy and educational
outreach. We pursue comparative
and holistic studies of human
communities, past and present, using
material, biological and cultural
approaches.
Our program embraces Hawaiian
culture and history in our teaching goals
and methods, and is engaged with
contemporary issues in the Pacific and
Asian region.
