This panel will celebrate late Teresia Teaiwa’s work in Pacific and feminist spaces and discuss Sweat and Salt Water: Selected Works, a collection of Teaiwa’s influential pieces, compiled and edited by Katerina Teaiwa, April K Henderson, and Terence Wesley-Smith.
Associate Professor Teresia Kieuea Teaiwa (1968–2017) was an influential scholar, teacher, activist and poet, and director of Pacific Studies and Samoan Studies at Victoria University of Wellington in Aotearoa New Zealand. She was a co-editor of the International Journal of Feminist Politics from 2008-2011.
Sweat and Salt Water features a selection of Teaiwa’s scholarly and creative contributions captured in print over her professional career. The collection honours her legacy in various scholarly fields, including Pacific studies, Indigenous studies, literary studies, security studies, and gender studies, and on topics ranging from militarism and tourism to politics and pedagogy. It also includes examples of Teaiwa’s poems. Many of these contributions have had significant and lasting impacts.
Convened and moderated by Katerina Teaiwa, Australian National University.
