Hermann Mückler is a professor of cultural and social anthropology at the University of Vienna, focusing on (ethno-)historical topics, forms of colonialism and decolonization, peace and conflict research, popular culture, and in particular historical popular culture research, with a regional focus on Oceania, Australia, and the Pacific Rim. He has conducted field research primarily in the Fiji Islands, the Hawaiian Islands, and several locations in Melanesia. He has been teaching at the Department for Social and Cultural Anthropology for 32 years, has supervised well over 100 academic theses, and is responsible for well over 500 publications, the majority of which are subject-specific. He is president of the Anthropological Society in Vienna, president of the Austrian-Fijian Society and of the umbrella organization of all Austrian-foreign societies PaN, vice-chairman of the Society for Global History, and co-founder and board member of the Institute for Comparative Architecture Research and the academic publishing house of the same name. His academic career includes numerous guest stays and visiting professorships in Europe and overseas. Among his most important books are a four-volume series on the cultural history of Oceania, a reference encyclopedic book about pioneer missionaries in Oceania, and two books on Easter Island (Rapa Nui). The most recent books are on the German colonial period on the Marshall Islands and Nauru in the years 1886 - 1914, and about the art of Hawaii Sheet Music in the Tin Pan Alley Era. The latter book illustrates his sustained interest and engagement in the field of historic popular culture research.\\
