About
Ilana Gershon has a wide range of interests, with an ethnographic focus in the Pacific. Her previous research has compared Samoan migrant experiences in New Zealand and the United States, focusing in particular on the contrasts between how governments and migrants understand what it means to have a culture. She has two current research projects. First, she is looking at Maori members of the New Zealand parliament, exploring how indigenous self-representation in the national legislature has contributed to the current Maori Renaissance. Second, she is also studying how people end relationships using new forms of communicative technologies. By studying mediated breaking up, she hopes to gain an understanding of when and how people experience new media as "new."
