I teach Hawaiian History at the Kamehameha Schools, Kapālama, a private, preparatory school for native Hawaiian students in Honolulu. I am also a lecturer in Political Science at Windward Community College in Kāneʻohe, Hawaiʻi and at the Matsunaga Institute at UH Mānoa. I have a master’s degree in Government from Harvard and a PhD in Political Science at the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa. I am the author of the forthcoming textbook Moʻolelo: A Hawaiian History, and my dissertation research is focused on Hawaiian land tenure. I sit on the editorial boards of Kamehameha Publishing and the academic journal Hūlili: Multidisciplinary Research on Hawaiian Well-Being. In 2004 I was a Fulbright scholar to New Zealand, studying the country’s educational system. I do freelance writing and editing through my company Kukini Consulting. I have been interviewed on Pacifica Radio and written for The Nation. My blog, theumiverse.wordpress.com, has had nearly 100,000 views since 2012.
