Chamoru & Pacific Islander scholars, this faculty position at UW is a great opportunity, and the timing is right for a PI hire. Word on the inside is that a degree outside of anthropology is acceptable for the right candidate with a focus on Indigeneity in the Americas, and that this focus is expanded to include Guam. Short notice though: Nov. 26 assures consideration. http://ap.washington.edu/ahr/academic-jobs/position/aa8919/

Calling all Chamorus in King County: A reporter from KPLU 88.5 is doing a piece on diverse languages spoken in King County. They're looking for a Chamoru to record. Only 10-15 mins, and MUST live in King County. A Chamoru on public radio in Washington State? How cool is that??? Please let me know if you or someone you know wants to represent, and I'll put you in touch with the reporter. Thanks!

Free and open to the public. Come check out this very important event at the UW Burke Museum.
