The Pacific Islands Studies affiliate instructional faculty and other Pacific specialists are available on campus and in other institutions in Honolulu, such as the Bishop Museum and the East-West Center. Most of the affiliate faculty are distributed among the disciplines of American studies, anthropology, art, botany, economics, English, ethnic studies, geography, Hawaiian studies, Hawaiian language, history, Indo-Pacific languages, linguistics, music, social work, and sociology. Others are from the College of Education, Hamilton Library, the School of Medicine, and the Richardson School of Law. Their courses are part of the center’s instructional program, and they serve on student committees and the center’s editorial boards.
