Rockefeller Humanities Fellowship

Gender and Globalization in Asia and the Pacific

Office for Women's Research

University of Hawai`i at Manoa


What is meant by globalization, and how are women active in, and acted
upon by, the processes involved in globalization?  This program, under
the auspices of the Office for Women's Research and the Women's Studies
Program at the University of Hawai`i, is focused on addressing these and

related questions.  Research themes include:  women and economic
transformation; women's health globally; migration/refugees/diaspora
movements and communities; militarism and global violence; domestic
violence and victimization; gender, race and representation; global
connections of indigenous peoples; and reparation movements and
interracial justice.  We seek scholars from Asia-Pacific and other
nations who wish to extend or initiate work on gender and globalization
within an Asia-Pacific context.  Work that spans and links diverse
disciplines and addresses one or more of the themes will be particularly

favored, as will work that speaks to audiences both inside and outside
of the university.  The University of Hawai`i is uniquely positioned to
support the cross-disciplinary study of the complex dynamics connecting
gender and race to globalization.  Our location at the hub of the
Pacific Rim makes this an ideal site for bringing together scholars from

around the world to study the complex and changing faces of
globalization.  The diverse ethnic and racial population of the islands,

with its own complex history of western colonialism and labor
immigration from Japan, China, the Philippines and elsewhere makes
Hawai`i itself a microcosm of globalization within its own shores.
