The winning thesis will be selected by a panel of judges in the field, on the basis of its scholarly excellence and its contribution to AAPS’ vision for a vibrant, critical, creative, and decolonial Pacific Studies. Theses from any disciplinary background—and
particularly those using cross- or trans-disciplinary approaches—are welcome to be submitted for consideration.</span></p>
