Islands Knowledge Institute

Islands Knowledge Institute was founded to build knowledge created by island peoples and within island spaces. Knowledge is social so we create Islands Knowledge by growing a community of islands knowledge thinkers, creators and workers. A central emphasis is building the capacity for knowledge creation set within islands ontologies. This is accomplished by promoting leadership and participation by island thinkers:* looking into issues of importance to island peoples and societies;* interrogating theoretical and disciplinary problems which can benefit from island ontological settings; We are headquartered in Solomon Islands, but have an active presence in Hawaii, Vanuatu and Aotearoa/New Zealand. We have a strong interest in collaborations throughout the world with researchers and institutions with shared interests and values.
