ICW/EMSI

Pacific Rim/Early California Group

Moderator:

David Igler, UCI

Description:

This study group serves as an intellectual meeting ground for scholars in southern California who study the Pacific Basin and Early California. We place an emphasis on trans-Pacific connections of the cultural, economic, ecological, and social nature. Our participants come from the humanities, social sciences, and other disciplines, along with professionals who have related interests. Our quarterly meetings vary in format, including invited speakers, discussions of pre-circulated papers, books and articles, small conferences, and presentations of archival material. Given the broad diversity of Pacific Basin studies, participants contribute to the group's intellectual direction and quarterly agendas.
