Caleb Rivera (he/him) is a Maui Native and PhD student in Community Psychology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His work centers on culture-as-health and strengthening pilina within communities, with particular attention to Kānaka ʻŌiwi experiences. As an ʻŌiwi story weaver, Caleb works with communities across Hawaiʻi to capture moʻolelo, exploring how ʻāina serves as a mechanism for health, healing, learning, and overall well-being. Grounded in diverse knowledge systems and understandings of the more-than-living-world, his community-engaged research focuses on prevention and intervention approaches, examining individuals within their broader ecological and cultural contexts.
