am a PhD student in the American Studies Department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. My research is focused on the Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) community and digital media practices. ─── As a member of the Abundant Intelligences organization, I am currently working on a grant-funded project regarding the use of Kanaka Maoli protocols to safeguard ʻike Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Knowledge) on the Internet. Nā Mea Hoʻohua i Lawe: The Pollinators Who Carry hosts data about Native Hawaiian pollinators and features a digital hoʻolauna (introduction) process meant to foster deeper connections between users and the data repository. ─── On occasion, I write speculative fiction, and I recently had a short story published in the online magazine Strange Horizons.
