Halbert in Hawaii

We are extremely pleased to announce that Dr. Deborah Halbert will be joining the Faculty of the UH Department of Political Science. The position itself, contributing to futures studies and public policy, is a tremendous boost to our program and the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies. Having a scholar of Debbie's caliber elevates us even further. Her work on the politics of intellectual property law is first rate [see: Halbert CV], and is an area of prime importance for our collective ability to imagine and express alternative futures, and to create preferred futures.

The process to bring in a new futures faculty, though slow and difficult at times, has paid off in a fine result. We look forward to welcoming Debbie back to Hawaii this Fall and for great things to come.
