From where we stand: Pacific oral research

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: It is a rare opportunity for three Pacific Indigenous scholars to gather and discuss Pacific Indigenous oral research methodologies at length. Often, we are weighed down by the bureaucracy of our institutions or working on projects to drive social change. The opportunity for the three of us to gather and engage in a talanoa about how it is that we as Pacific Indigenous academics create and participate in opportunities for oral Pacific Indigenous research was a welcome one. Our talanoa conversations are captured and woven throughout this article. What follows below is a written form of this talanoa—a form that draws on what we shared in our in-person (face-to-face) online talanoa and through our writing up of it for this article.
