“If, today, our world is in crisis, it is because we have forgotten how to correspond. We have engaged, instead, in campaigns of interaction. Parties to interaction face each other with their identities and objectives already in place, and transact in ways that serve, but do nothing to transform, their separate interests. Their difference is given from the start, and remains afterwards. Interaction is thus a between relation. Correspondence, however, goes along.”This article has developed from correspondence via letter-writing between the two authors. We have been using the epistolary form as a means to exchange observations, ideas, and positionalities about coloniality in Kalaallit (Greenlandic Inuit) society

Personally, I hope they walk away with a voice.I hope they walk away with a sense of identity.Treaty Tribes in Washington are reclaiming their leadership role in environmental planning, ecological restoration, and fisheries management, while protecting and reinforcing sovereignty over their lands (Bey et al. 2019). Despite efforts such as incorporating land acknowledgments, hosting Indigenous gatherings, and revising curricula to be more inclusive of Indigenous Peoples, the relationship between non-indigenous universities and Indigenous Peoples still echoes colonial power dynamics and perpetuates environmental injustice. To address the challenges of systemic inequality and ecological collapse, collaborative efforts

Vibrant lines, impressionistic touches, rich depictions of flora and fauna, embeddedness in the Japanese biosocial and biocultural context, and perceptive captioning were the features that first attracted me (author 1) to the drawing techniques of urban designer and sketch artist Mariia Ermilova (author 2). The result was that I decided to ask her to join my project as a visual ethnographer. Although I had never used drawing in my anthropological work, it was clear that combining the data I had collected on migrant homes and housing with a visual approach would greatly enrich the ethnographic output. This combination could allow for what Karina Kuschnir described as new “ways of seeing and also ways of knowing”

I sat comfortably on my bed cordoned off in a small room away from my seventh-month-old baby, with two dogs at my feet and a computer in my lap. It was 2021 in the United States with the COVID-19 pandemic raging, and this was the current site of my fieldwork. I was participating in an online book club run by two US nonprofit organizations that focus on changing US policy in Latin America to end US imperialism. We were discussing the book Who Killed Berta Cáceres? (Lakhani 2020) in various Zoom breakout rooms guided by key discussion questions. Berta was a Lenca Indigenous activist in Honduras, who, despite winning the Goldman environmental prize, was killed in 2016 for her work organizing to protect sacred water

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/936636
<p></p>
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are a key feature of the international development landscape. Particularly since their “explosion” in the 1990s (Fisher 1997; Lewis et al. 2010; Brass et al. 2018), there has also been an increase in scholarly interest in the workings, effectiveness, and politics of NGOs in international development. While some scholars find evidence that at least some NGOs do uphold greater levels of participation than the prior standard of top-down development aid (Sarrica et al. 2019; Mason and Niewolny 2021;), others critique the NGO movement as maintaining similar power dynamics, cloaked in the rhetoric of participation and empowerment (Fisher 1997; Bawole and Langnel 2016; Yeboah and

I got to Vaasa, Finland, in early May, the time of the year when the sun is beginning to not set. I was there for an artist residency with a volunteer-run artist collective called Platform that invites artists from around the world to spend three months in Vaasa working on research or a project surrounding a specific theme. The theme this year was “the future,” asking how we will survive it, sustain it, and what it will look like, whether a utopia, dystopia, or something else. In the open call, they noted that those who live in Finland are set up quite well to survive increasingly fraught and precarious conditions of planetary crises due to their access to moose meat, mushrooms, and berries, but they wanted to
