Unearthing the decolonial environmental worldview (DEW)
Environmentalism has been defined in multiple ways across the literature from a global perspective, both as an ideology and as a movement. However, the definitions of environmentalism have been either vaguely defined or broad with the most common characterization being that of conservation and preservation being at the heart of environmentalism. While there is considerable research on environmentalism in the industrialized world context, there is…
Understanding community concerns in the Goat Islands logistics hub debate as a form of environmental justice
The conflict between environmental justice and economic development is an issue central to the developing world. Using an interview analysis of community residents, this study seeks to identify whether the formally proposed trans-shipment hub sited for the Goat Islands in Jamaica is an environmental injustice. The site, situated in the Portland Bight Protected Area, is one of Jamaica's largest fish sanctuaries and provides hundreds in the communi…
The contours of environmental justice in the Caribbean
Despite its history of colonialism, slavery, and exploitation that has led to a deterioration of its environmental and social fabrics, the Caribbean has not been at the centre of mainstream environmental justice discourse. However, there are deep lessons to be learnt from centring the region. The Caribbean region, though holding historical and contemporary significance, has not been at the centre of mainstream environmental justice discourse, whe…
Julie Sze. Environmental justice in a moment of danger
Life Masquerading as Art
The paper questions the role of the transformative artist within Caribbean popular culture with reference to the costumed “Mas” bands in Trinidad Carnival, using Fanon’s argument on the role of the artist as the theoretical base. Using the documentary “ The Minshall Trilogy: A Modern Fable as Street Theatre ” as its source of visual and contextual data on these bands, the paper examines how the artist, Peter Minshall, takes the traditional folk w…
Freedom and/or development? Scale and intersectionality in an industrial public debate
Industrialization projects have been promoted as one of the main drivers of economic regional integration for the Caribbean region. However, surrounding residents to industrial projects are often concerned about the impact on their community, health and the physical environment. Their opinions often become part of a public discourse involving a range of stakeholders, including the community, state and international actors. Using a politics of sca…
Urban Green Space and the Pursuit of Health Equity in Parts of the United States
Research has demonstrated that inequitable access to green space can relate to health disparities or inequalities. This commentary aims to shift the dialogue to initiatives that have integrated green spaces in projects that may promote health equity in the United States. Specifically, we connect this topic to factors such as community revitalization, affordable housing, neighborhood walkability, food security, job creation, and youth engagement. …

Can a research film be considered a stand‐alone academic publication? An assessment of the film Climate Change, Voices of the Vulnerable
While widely used as a form of data collection, the use of film as a stand‐alone medium for the dissemination of research has not been fully realized in the social sciences. The hesitation on the part of many scholars to produce video is based on the lack of criteria for what constitutes a research‐film. Each academic publication has underlying research‐reporting characteristics. If these characteristics are evident then the medium of disseminati…

Experience is a great teacher
This paper examines citizen receptivity to green infrastructure (GI) development in three neighborhoods in Syracuse, New York. Data from 208 surveyed residents were statistically assessed to determine levels of environmental knowledge (EK) about and stated willingness to implement rain barrels, rain gardens, trees, porous pavements, and curbside extensions. Respondents had high levels of EK about GI as a measure for stormwater control and strong …
