Our ocean has no borders: wayfinding, memory and labels that divide - Devpolicy Blog from the Development Policy Centre (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Those whose islands fall within the formal definition of Polynesia have every reason to celebrate the film Moana with pride. Hawaiians, Samoans and others represented most directly in it should celebrate this historic achievement, and the rest of us across the Pacific should celebrate with them. For those of us outside Polynesia, however, the relationship can feel more complicated.

Read excerpt
This is the first in a three-part series in which the author, an I-Kiribati researcher, argues that Australia’s and New Zealand’s Pacific migration schemes are unfair to Kiribati. Part 1 sets out the census evidence. I sometimes struggle to understand the way Pacific migration is designed in Australia and New Zealand.
