Disability Related Beliefs and Services in the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands
No full textSpecial education and disability-related topics in the U.S. are often viewed through the lens of the White middle-class mainstream. When multicultural perspectives of disability are considered, they are usually those of Black and Latino Americans (Hasnain et al., 2020). Given their divergent demographic structures from the U.S. mainland, however, disability research and practices originating from there may not always be applicable to the cultural context of the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific jurisdictions. Their geographic distance from the U.S. mainland may further complicate the nature of access to services on the islands. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of literature on the attitudes towards disabilities on the islands and the services available there. This literature review seeks to explore what is currently known about attitudes towards disabilities and services on the islands, with implications for improving services and suggestions for future research
“Punk Mi Bai”: The Iligan City Hardcore Punk Movement
No full textThis study details the Iligan City Hardcore Punk Movement as a subculture in the music scene with its own style, event preferences and ideologies. The lifeworld of the Punx, as members are called, is described using focus ethnography through the sociological lens of Emile Durkheim\u27s notion of the collective effervescence and the New Social Movements Theory. The study examines the Punx experiences in terms of their sense of collective identity and through its adapted influences. This also describes how the local music scene operates as an influence itself. The study reveals that during events (shows and gigs), this movement comes together and spontaneously communicates collective thoughts and ideologies in a collective effervescence as one unified unit. It is argued that this is an emerging New Social Movement as punk operates in social mobilization through cultural innovation, identity and lifestyle transformation, with self-limiting radicalism against the social establishments and existing structures. The Iligan City Hardcore Punk Movement is a collective of individuals that exists under the nose of mainstream music culture. They are often misunderstood and branded negatively but persists on preserving their autonomous and often-underappreciated contribution to the music community in particular, and the public in general

The Truth about Lies and Lies about the Truth
No full textThis article questions the process of making sense of events in our world during the time of fake news, ideological and religious wars which tear apart countries, degrade and damage irrecoverably the environment and land, and in so doing, destroy the mental and physical health of people. How do we navigate with integrity through an avalanche of news, facts, and interpretations of facts? How do we help students who were born in the Google era to filter, interpret and handle the information overload? How do we sustain and survive without harming the earth and ourselves, as a result of our individual and collective (explicit and implicit) actions? 
From Mauka to Makai, Leeward to Windward: Culture-Nature Connection and Pasifika Perspectives on Communication
No full textThis essay explores the interconnectedness of culture, nature, and communication, with a focus on Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) values and practices. It highlights the deep relationship between Indigenous peoples and their lands while exploring the ways in which colonial dispossession has led to the disarticulation of Indigenous communities from their ancestral lands. Using the Hawaiian value of aloha ʻāina (caring for the land) and the Hō‘ālani Framework, this work emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with ancestral places to foster sustainable place-based ways of knowing. Emphasizing genealogical connections, interdependence, responsibility (kuleana), and fulfillment of duty (ho‘okōkuleana), the essay argues for an inclusive, relational approach to communication that transcends human interaction and extends to our relationship with the land and water
Is Anyone Listening?
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the fragility, and brokenness in some cases, of our systems, institutions, infrastructure, and society. Now that the immediate crisis has passed, is there an expectation to revert to the status quo, instead of creating a better version of the world? Technology has been hailed a savior, but human beings being human, and the complexity and interconnectedness of our world makes for challenges in trying to maintain society as it was and in creating a new world. Navigating outrage, cries for help, and cultural divides has left us in a precarious position but there is opportunity to effect change, if we choose
