Fostering intersubjectivity and empathetic engagements in short-term education abroad: Reflections on decolonizing transnational education arrangements
This article interrogates the assumed benefits of short-term education abroad programming within the context of colonial frameworks and neoliberal sensibilities. Reflecting on transnational programs we have run, and especially one in the Honduran Bay Islands, we apply Adkins and Messerly’s (2019) framework to decolonize education abroad to consider interventions that foster intersubjectivity and empathetic engagement. By decentering the student-a…
Local Knowledge and Environmental Education in Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras
Researchers of environmental change in island communities increasingly reimagine resilience. Critical theorists ask whether this trend is a net positive for different populations and non-human natures in these fragile spaces.

Years Ago the Crabs Was so Plenty: Anthropology's Role in Ecological Grieving and Conservation Work
Scholars are increasingly attending to human emotions in the context of changing environments. Here, we draw on over a decade of collaborative work in the community of Utila, a small Honduran island in the Caribbean, to explore evidence of environmental grief through consideration of three broad themes: (1) population and motorized transportation growth as linked to social and environmental decline; (2) mourning over the loss of the ecological bo…

We focus on four key domains of teaching feminist and environmental anthropology through applied collaborative work: (1) …
