Anthropologies of Our Caribbean Sea of (Is)lands
Ethnography In-Sight and Sound: Aural Politics and Haitian Mobile Vendors in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Challenges and Opportunities for Non-Tenure-Track Faculty during the Time of Covid-19
In Spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced university instructors across the United States to confront the daunting task of quickly changing their courses from face-to-face to remote instruction.

The shift from sugar production (under state auspic…
