Lectures in Planning Series: Candace Fujikane

Candace Fujikane is a Professor of English at the University of Hawaii and author of the book, Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies, Duke University Press. Her writing and research engage synchronic sets of practices: those that challenge the operations of the US occupying/settler state, and those that enact a future beyond it. Professor Fujikane is actively involved in land struggles against urban and industrial development of Kanaka ‘Ōiwi sacred and storied places in Lualualei Valley, Waiāhole, Kalihi and Mauna Kea. She teaches classes on the stand that aloha ʻāina are taking to protect lands, waters, and skies in Hawaiʻi.
