About
My doctoral research aims to explore Fijian villagers' experiences of rural development, as well as indigenous (iTaukei) perspectives on yaqona use and the global kava industry. I hope to start my fieldwork in the highlands of Viti Levu in September 2011.
I'm currently teaching the following classes at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji:
SO110 Globalization and Contemporary Pacific Societies
SO201 Society, Culture and Change in the Pacific
SO207 Families, Sexuality and Change: The Pacific and Beyond
