Background
Noah Hanohano Dolim is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. He primarily focuses on nineteenth-century Hawai‘i, emphasizing the histories, experiences, and lifeways of Kanaka ‘Ōiwi. Noah’s current project centers on ali‘i wahine political leadership outside of formal government institutions and their creation of sovereignties beyond the nation-state between the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. His research attends to the intersections of gender, race, settler colonialism, and imperialism.
Noah earned his AA from Hawai‘i Community College, BA from the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo (History, 2014), and MA from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (History, 2017). He then received his PhD from the University of California, Irvine (History, 2023). Noah was raised in Kunia on the island of O‘ahu, and has ancestral ties to Puna and Hilo, Hawai‘i. He is a proud graduate of the Kamehameha Schools-Kapālama.
