Navigating social networks in breast cancer recovery
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer affecting women globally. In the UK, many women with breast cancer must navigate self-management of their recovery, often relying on social networks for support. Young Black women face distinct challenges, including cultural stigma, racialised interactions, and feelings of marginalisation in predominantly white support spaces. This qualitative study explored the experiences of young Black women, specif…
Offering Space for Change in Crisis
In this article, two university professors explore what it means to teach anti-colonial and anti-racist anthropological theory and ethnographic methods to graduate students at an American Land Grant University and predominantly white institution (PWI) within environmental scientific research and policy graduate programs. The goal of this article is to show how critically informed anthropological pedagogies can sustain diverse educational spaces i…
Sensing inequity
Flood and Fire
The intensifying warming of the planet over the past several decades is a manifestation of centuries of uneven and inequitable extractive economies. This warming is well known to be the main force driving shifts in climatological conditions and extreme weather events leading to increasingly severe impacts on planetary systems. Every year, more locations on earth are experiencing heat waves, intense droughts, longer and larger fire seasons, increa…
We’ve never seen anything like it
The last “global coral bleaching event” lasted three years (2014–2017), solidifying the plight of the world’s coral reefs as a defining problem of the Anthropocene. The catastrophe inspired countless media stories, becoming common knowledge in parts of the world far from any coastline. Despite the urgency of this latest discovery of coral mass mortality, it is likely that coral decline would never have become the widely recognized crisis that it …
Assessing Indicators and Limitations of Food Security Objectives in Coral Reef Restoration
Coral reef restoration is often presented as a marine conservation solution that provides ‘win-win’ outcomes. However, most studies on reef restoration have focused on the biological success, while little is known about whether social objectives are ever achieved. This study investigates a reef restoration initiative in the Spermonde archipelago, Indonesia, where food security was initially presented as an intended social outcome. We utilised an …
Intersectional Ecologies
Drawing on the work of Black feminist scholars, this review suggests "intersectional ecologies" as a method for critically engaging anthropology's relationship with the environment across subfields, intellectual traditions, and authorial politics. Intersectional ecologies helps us trace how a broad coalition of scholars represents and accounts for the environment within shifting planetary arrangements of bodies, sites, practices, and technologies…
Science Communication Demands a Critical Approach That Centers Inclusion, Equity, and Intersectionality
We live in an era of abundant scientific information, yet access to information and to opportunities for substantive public engagement with the processes and outcomes of science are still inequitably distributed. Even with increasing interest in science communication and public engagement with science, historically marginalized and minoritized individuals and communities are largely overlooked and undervalued in these efforts. To address this gap…

Gatekeeping and Communities in Energy Transition
The Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF) is the first offshore wind farm in the United States. Using gatekeeping theory as a framework, this research analyzes local and regional/national newspaper coverage of the BIWF paying particular attention to the use of sources. The data suggest that the differences between newspaper source usage from 1 January 2008 to 1 July 2017 is minimal. However, business sources appeared more than any other group, including …
Destination Anthropocene
Destination Anthropocene documents the emergence of new travel imaginaries forged at the intersection of the natural sciences and the tourism industry in a Caribbean archipelago. Known to travelers as a paradise of sun, sand, and sea, The Bahamas is rebranding itself in response to the rising threat of global environmental change, including climate change. In her imaginative new book, Amelia Moore explores an experimental form of tourism develope…
The social dynamics of turbine tourism and recreation
Feeding island dreams
Caribbean islands have increasingly turned to tourism as a pathway for economic advancement, often to the detriment of other industries, particularly agriculture. The influx of millions of tourists to these island destinations increases food demand, escalates food importation, and oftentimes results in food insecurity. Agritourism, an alternative tourism form, has been proposed as a way to stimulate domestic food production and increase food secu…

Anthropocene anthropology
The Anthropocene is the scientific label given by earth scientists to the current epoch of unprecedented anthropogenic planetary change. The Anthropocene is also a political label designed to call attention to this change and evolving notions of agency and responsibility in contemporary life. This article critically explores what I call 'the Anthropocene idea' and the condition of 'Anthropocene spaces' through selected anthropological writing abo…
Tourism in the Anthropocene Park? New analytic possibilities
As one of the largest industries in the world, tourism is subject to constant reinvention. Anthropological engagements with tourism reflect this multiplicity through an attention to the dynamics of culture and power within the tourism industry at both global and local levels. As tourism scholars we must be on the lookout for trends in travel and destination dynamics, and we must craft conceptual tools to analyse emergent trends. In this article, …
The Anthropocene
The Anthropocene is everywhere in academia. There are Anthropocene journals, Anthropocene courses, Anthropocene conferences, Anthropocene panels, Anthropocene podcasts, and more. It is very safe to say that the Anthropocene is having a moment. But is this just a case of fifteen minutes of fame, name recognition, and bandwagon style publishing? The authors in this issue of ARES think not, and we would like to help lend a critical sensibility to th…
Islands of Difference
Este artículo introduce la idea del antropoceno como un espacio problema con importancia para la antropología del caribe y la industria turística de éste. Este término es utilizado por científicos para definir la era presente en la cual los procesos humanos operan al nivel de escala geológica y biológica en la tierra, y ha venido a justificar una gran cantidad de acciones en el nombre de la sostenibilidad. A través de la examinación de una zona d…
The Aquatic Invaders
The lionfish is an enigmatic, beautiful, and invasive marine species in The Bahamas, where the reef ecology is construed as vulnerable while fishermen and invasive fish are seen as primary threats. This article considers fisheries anthropology through recent attempts to incorporate the lionfish into the Bahamian fishery as a commercial fish species, and it explains how the mysterious fish has become symbolic of the creativity and design of contem…
Climate Changing Small Islands
This article argues that climate change has influenced the way in which small island nations are viewed and understood by the international climate community. Climate change has become an internationally recognized and specific language of vulnerability that is deployed in requests for international aid to fund adaptation and mitigation measures in some small islands, for population relocation plans and human rights advocacy in other islands, and…
