Welcome to the first episode of a special series of Migration Conversations in Hawai'i. In this episode I am in conversation with Noelani Goodyear-Ka’ōpua in an outdoor park with light rain tickling us. Born to young activists and UH graduates, Noelani grew up around Hawai’I communities and movements organizing around evictions, environmental degradation and economic injustice. Now a professor in political science at the College of Social Sciences, University of Hawai’I at Manoā, her work focuses on documenting, theorizing and practising Hawaiian sovereignty movement and invests her time and energy into education and the ‘āina, nurturing critical thinkers and doers. Her book Nā Wāhine Koa: Hawaiian Women for Sovereignty and Demilitarization is a collaboration with four activist elders who helped catalyze Hawaiian movements of the late 20th century.
