CPISC is growing!

Check out the Job Description for Island Justice Fellow here.

This opportunity is open for current UC Berkeley undergraduate students to work for Spring 2025.

The Island Justice Fellows Program at the Critical Pacific Island Studies Collective (CPISC) enables UC Berkeley students to contribute to environmental justice practice, research, and campus community engagement opportunities concerning issues facing Pacific Islander (PI) communities, both residing in the Pacific Island region and in the diaspora in California.

This semester-long or year-long fellowship program supports a team of graduate and undergraduate students to address multiple gaps on the UC Berkeley campus: (1) the lack of institutional support for scholarship on the PI region, (2) the lack of Pacific Islander representation in faculty, staff, and student positions, and (3) the need for collaborative interdisciplinary work that bridges scholarship, EJ activism, and accessible communication. Fellows focus on one of four main areas including research and database management, grant-writing, campus engagement, and communication.
