The University of 51׻ʻi at ԴDz (UHM) and the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) in Galápagos are excited to present an immersive, experiential undergraduate research opportunity that engages both indigenous and western science and culture on island invasion biology in the Galápagos and 51׻ian archipelagoes. This two semester (Spring and Summer 2024) research experience includes: (i) a Spring 4-credit lab and lecture course in Island Invasion Biology, and (ii) an eight week, immersive, all expenses paid summer research experience in Galápagos. Embracing traditional 51׻ian knowledge and Western science, this unique program aligns with UH ԴDz’s strategic goal to becoming a Native 51׻ian Place of Learning (NHPoL), and combines scientific exploration with 51׻ian ways of knowing to weave indigenous and Western knowledge systems to better understand and manage invasive species in Pacific Island ecosystems. This program will enable undergraduate students to engage in international, faculty mentored research via a transformative journey that promotes deeper connections to ʻāina (land/sea) and kānaka (people) communities, and mālama ʻāina (stewardship of places and people).
