SUMMARY:CIT.I.ZEN.SHIP: REFLECTIONS ON RIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:October 4\, 2018 – January 18\, 2019\nDepartment of Photography & Imaging Galleries\nNYU Tisch School of the Arts\n721 Broadway Lobby & 8th floor\n\nLorie Novak and Deborah Willis\, Ph.D.\, curators\nRiana Gideon\, assistant curator\n  \nTo accept one’s past — one’s history is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.  –James Baldwin\, The Fire Next Time \n  \nThe Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in collaboration with For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative presents cit.i.zen.ship: reflections on rights\, an exhibition featuring photographs\, works on paper\, writings\, and video that reflect on human rights and notions of citizenship. The theme of the exhibition reminds us that our actions today will affect the future\, just as the actions of courageous individuals during the Civil Rights Movement changed the world. Conceptually and characteristically\, each of the artists uses different symbolic references to visually represent definable issues surrounding civil rights\, resistance\, immigration\, race\, class\, gentrification\, gender equality\, LGBTQ+ rights\, prison reform\, freedom of speech\, environmental issues\, and more. They use documentation\, process\, history\, and personal experience to engage the politics of this nation and pave the way for future narratives. \nThis exhibition is part of For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative\, a non-partisan\, nationwide campaign to use art as a means of inspiring civic participation in advance of the 2018 midterm elections. For Freedoms was founded by artists in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement\, discourse\, and direct action in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms uses art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values\, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is dependent on participation\, not ideology. \nThe artwork included in this exhibition shares For Freedoms’ conviction that people shape the cultural systems that shape their lives—from politics to art\, from advertising to civic life. We believe that citizenship is defined by the creative use of one’s voice\, one’s body\, one’s mind\, and\, ultimately\, one’s vote. The 50 State Initiative is the largest creative collaboration in the history of this country\, and we want everyone to get involved. For Freedoms’ 200+ institutional partners are bringing together artists and community leaders across the country through exhibitions\, town hall meetings\, and public billboard projects. These collective activities inject creativity\, critical thinking\, and an uplifted multiplicity of voices into our public conversation. Together\, we can blur the line between artistic and political discourse to create an open and nuanced national dialogue in a partisan climate. \nArtists\nJack Adam • Aaron Adams • Gregory Michael Alders • Bridgette Auger/Itab Azzam • Perry Bard/Richard Sullivan • Laylah Amatullah Barrayn • Alexandra Bell • Cydney Blitzer • Terry E.

For more information\, visit https://tisch.nyu.edu/photo or call 212.998.1930. \n\n\nThe Department of Photography and Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts is a four-year B.F.A. program centered on the making and understanding of images. Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression. Situated within New York University\, the program offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum and a serious and broad grounding in the liberal arts. \n\n\nFor Freedoms is a platform for greater participation in the arts and in civil society\, producing exhibitions\, installations\, public programs\, and billboard campaigns to advocate for inclusive civic participation. Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century. Founded by Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman\, For Freedoms Federation encourages new forms of critical discourse. The mission is to use art as a vehicle to build greater participation in American Democracy.

SUMMARY:"Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam."
DESCRIPTION:João Reis\, Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil\n\n\nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems.

SUMMARY:Skirball Talks: Angela Davis “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:What are the different tools for combating racism today\, after Obama’s presidency and the backlash of the Trump regime? What do the tools of struggle and emancipation look like\, and do aesthetics play a role? Please join us as activist\, scholar and writer Angela Davis discusses in the “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” lecture series.\n\nThrough her activism and scholarship over many decades\, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic\, racial\, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University\, Mills College\, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA\, Vassar\, Syracuse University the Claremont Colleges\, and Stanford University. Most recently she spent fifteen years at the University of California Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness – an interdisciplinary PhD program – and of Feminist Studies. Angela Davis is the author of ten books and has lectured throughout the United States as well as in Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, and South America. In recent years a persistent theme of her work has been the range of social problems associated with incarceration and the generalized criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She draws upon her own experiences in the early seventies as a person who spent eighteen months in jail and on trial\, after being placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.” She also has conducted extensive research on numerous issues related to race\, gender and imprisonment. Her recent books include Abolition Democracy and Are Prisons Obsolete? about the abolition of the prison industrial complex\, a new edition of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\, and a collection of essays entitled The Meaning of Freedom. Her most recent book of essays\, called Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement\, was published in February 2016. Angela Davis is a founding member of Critical Resistance\, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex. Internationally\, she is affiliated with Sisters Inside\, an abolitionist organization based in Queensland\, Australia that works in solidarity with women in prison. Like many educators\, Professor Davis is especially concerned with the general tendency to devote more resources and attention to the prison system than to educational institutions. Having helped to popularize the notion of a “prison industrial complex\,” she now urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.

SUMMARY:Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights Actors
DESCRIPTION:César Rodríguez-Garavito\, co-editor of Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights\, will speak on the new ideas and innovations that are emerging in response to populist regimes’ crackdown on civil society. \nWritten by scholars and advocates in challenging political settings from around the world\, this book offers ideas and inspiration to their peers in the human rights community who are grappling with and resisting the erosion of democracy and rights. \nThis collection takes two steps towards clearing the path for this civil society transformation. First\, it clarifies the specific challenges to human rights raised by contemporary populist regimes and movements. What is the populist playbook against human rights? Second\, it contributes to documenting and learning from a wealth of initiatives by human rights actors. What innovations are human rights actors introducing into their strategies and narratives to counter those of populist regimes? In short\, what is the human rights playbook against populism? \nFrom meticulous documentation of abuses in Turkey to more grassroots forms of social networking in Hungary\, from peace caravans in India to finding new ways of being useful under 21st century dictatorships in Venezuela\, like war correspondents reporting from the trenches\, our authors step forward to share their own continuing struggles to help their communities. \nBased on evidence from populist governments in India\, Venezuela\, Hungary\, Turkey\, Russia\, the United States\, and Ecuador-as well as crackdowns against civil society in South Africa\, Egypt and other countries-this volume provides hope\, solidarity\, and reinvigoration for the human rights movement.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: SOUNDING ISLAM: VOICE\, MEDIA AND SONIC ATMOSPHERE IN AN INDIAN OCEAN W/ PATRICK EISENLOHR
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk with Patrick Eisenlohr\, University of Göttingen and Faye Ginsberg David B. Kriser Professor\, NYU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSounding Islam provides a provocative account of the sonic dimensions of religion\, combining perspectives from the anthropology of media and sound studies\, as well as drawing on neo-phenomenological approaches to atmospheres. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing long-term ethnographic research on devotional Islam in Mauritius\, Patrick Eisenlohr explores how the voice\, as a site of divine manifestation\, becomes refracted in media practices that have become integral parts of religious traditions. At the core of Eisenlohr’s concern is the interplay of voice\, media\, affect\, and listeners’ religious experiences. Sounding Islam sheds new light on a key dimension of religion\, the sonic incitement of sensations that are often difficult to translate into language. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick Eisenlohr is Professor of Anthropology\, Chair of Society and Culture in Modern India at the University of Göttingen. He obtained a PhD from the University of Chicago and previously held positions at Washington University in St. Louis\, New York University\, and Utrecht University. He is the author of Little India:  Diaspora\, Time and Ethnolinguistic Belonging in Hindu Mauritius. (University of California Press\, 2006)\, and Sounding Islam: Voice\, Media\, and Sonic Atmospheres in an Indian Ocean World (University of California Press\, 2018). He has conducted research on transnational Hindu and Muslim networks in the Indian Ocean region\, particularly between Mauritius and India\, the relationships between religion\, language\, and media\, the sonic dimensions of religion\, the links between media practices and citizenship\, as well as language and diaspora. \n  \nDiscussant: \nFaye Ginsberg David B. Kriser Professor\, NYU\,  Social anthropology; ethnographic film; ethnography of media; indigenous media; social movements in the United States; Disability. \n  \nWe have discounted copies ($20) of  Sounding Islam: Voice\, Media and Sonic Atmosphere in an Indian Ocean that can be purchased directly from James Ryan\, please email him at James.Ryan@nyu.edu or make sure to purchase it after the event!

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem" Jane Hathaway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nEunuchs were a common feature of pre- and early modern societies that are now poorly understood. Here\, Jane Hathaway offers an in-depth study of the chief of the African eunuchs who guarded the harem of the Ottoman Empire. A wide range of primary sources are used to analyze the Chief Eunuch’s origins in East Africa and his political\, economic\, and religious role from the inception of his office in the late sixteenth century through the dismantling of the palace harem in the early twentieth century. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHathaway highlights the origins of the institution and how the role of eunuchs developed in East Africa as well as exploring the Chief Eunuchs connections to Egypt and Medina. By tracing the evolution of the office\, we see how the Chief Eunuch’s functions changed in response to transformations in Ottoman society\, from the generalized crisis of the seventeenth century to the westernizing reforms of the nineteenth century.\n\nJane Hathaway (Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of History\, Ohio State University) is a specialist of the Ottoman empire. Her research has focused on the empire’s Arab provinces\, particularly Egypt and Yemen. She has recently been working on the Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton’s’ Near Eastern Studies Department in 1992. She is the author of The Politics of Household in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis (Cambridge\, 1997)\, A Tale of Two Factions: Myth\, Memory\, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen(SUNY Press\, 2003)\, Beshir Agha\, Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem (Oneworld\, 2006)\, The Arab Lands under Ottoman Rule\, 1516-1800 (Pearson/Longman\, 2008)\, and The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem: From African Slave to Power-Broker (Cambridge\, 2018). \n\nThis book talk will also feature discussant Leslie Peirce (Emeritus\, NYU)\, whose writing and teaching focus on the Ottoman empire\, with an emphasis on the early modern period. Her first book explored the shifting nature of imperial politics by placing the palace harem at the center of inquiry. Other topics Peirce has written about include honor and sexuality\, provincial politics\, abduction and captivity\, and slavery and household formation. She recently published a biographical account of Hurrem\, the concubine and then wife to Suleyman I the Magnificent. \nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Ottoman & Turkish Studies (OTS) at NYU.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Afro-Arab Relations: From the Common Struggle to the "New Scramble"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture with Rawia Tawfik\n  \nAbstract:\nIn the mid-twentieth century\, Arab and African countries waged a common struggle against colonialism and racial segregation. Arabs supported the liberation of African colonies and the isolation of apartheid South Africa. In their turn\, newly independent African countries showed solidarity with Arabs in their conflict against Israel. With international and regional transformations at the end of the century this collective mobilization for united action had faded away.  In the last decade\, Arab regional powers\, especially Gulf monarchies\, are making a strong comeback to the continent. From investing in various economic sectors to brokering peace between rival countries in the Horn of Africa\, Gulf countries are heavily investing in seizing the economic opportunities in the rising continent and bringing stability to their turbulent Eastern neighbors. This lecture traces the continuities and changes in Afro-Arab relations in the last six decades. It maps the actors\, interests and policies that shape the unfolding alliances and rivalries between and within the two regions. It questions whether the renewed interest of Arab regional powers in Africa is an asset for Africa’s peace and development or part and parcel of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa’s political and economic resources.\n  \nRawia Tawfik is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Politics from the University of Oxford and a Master of Science in Politics from Cairo University. Her research interests include issues surrounding African development and regional integration\, Nile hydro-politics\, and the foreign policy of regional powers in Africa. She was a visiting research fellow at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)\, and the Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) and a researcher at the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE). She received a number of prestigious awards and research grants\, including the individual research grant of the African Peacebuilding Network in 2017\, and the Presidential Fellowship of the African Studies Association.\n

SUMMARY:Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 11th please join us for “Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood”. \nIt is impossible to think of Russia today without thinking of Vladimir Putin. More than any other major national leader\, he personifies his country in the eyes of the world\, and dominates Western media coverage. In Russia itself\, he is likewise the centre of attention both for his supporters and his detractors. But\, as Tony Wood argues\, this focus on Russia’s president gets in the way of any real understanding of the country. The West needs to shake off its obsession with Putin and look beyond the Kremlin walls. \nIn this timely and provocative analysis\, Wood explores the profound changes Russia has undergone since 1991. In the process\, he challenges several common assumptions made about contemporary Russia. Against the idea that Putin represents a return to Soviet authoritarianism\, Wood argues that his rule should be seen as a continuation of Yeltsin’s in the 1990s. The core features of Putinism — a predatory elite presiding over a vastly unequal society — are in fact integral to the system set in place after the fall of Communism. \nWood also overturns the standard view of Russia’s foreign policy\, identifying the fundamental loss of power and influence that has underpinned recent clashes with the West. Russia without Putin concludes by assessing the current regime’s prospects\, and looks ahead to what the future may hold for the country as a whole. \nTony Wood is in the PhD program in Latin American History at NYU. He is previously the author of Chechnya: The Case for Independence (2007)\, and his writing has appeared in theLondon Review of Books\, The Guardian\, n+1 and The Nation\, among other places.

They meet people in their home or in a public space and record contributions\, following up with an interview afterwards to better understand the link that ties the singer to the song. The Sonothèque Nomade recorded songs in France and in Switzerland\, and their 2-day residency at NYU Africa House will be their first residency within the Americas. The full extent of their work will be later presented at the Paléo Festival\, the biggest open-air music festival of Switzerland\, in July 2020. \nAt NYU\, the Sonothèque Nomade will record songs and lullabies from students and professors. \nThe NYU Center for French language and Cultures is a creative partner of the Sonothèque Nomade. \nWhen & Where\nNYU Africa House\, 44 Washington Mews\, New York\, NY 10003 \nApril 4\, 2019 1:00pm – 5:00pm \nApril 5\, 2019 9:00am – 12:00pm \nArt Direction\nJérôme Bouvet and Carine Henry \nFor more info about the Sonothèque Nomade project\, please visit https://www.lafaussecompagnie.fr \nFor more info about the Sonothèque Nomade’s residency at NYU\, please contact Guillaume Parodi at gp70@nyu.edu or (212) 998 8758. \nVisit the NYU Arts and Science page for more information: https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/research-centers/frenchcenter/festival5continents/schedule0/sononomade.html \n\nCo-Host\nThe NYU Center for French Language and Cultures exists to promote academic and cultural activity relating to the French-speaking world at New York University\, and to foster exchange between the University and French and Francophone communities.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: AFGHANISTAN RISING WITH FAIZ AHMED
DESCRIPTION:August 19\, 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of Afghanistan’s independence from Britain. Commemorating the roots and legacies of that watershed event\, Faiz Ahmed presents a vibrant account of the first Muslim-majority country to form a fully sovereign government\, ratify a constitution\, and promulgate an original body of national laws after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Debunking conventional narratives of Afghanistan as a perennial war zone and remote frontier\, his recently published book Afghanistan Rising rediscovers a time when Kabul stood proudly as a center of constitutional politics and contested visions of reform in the greater Islamicate world. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCosponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaiz Ahmed is Associate Professor of History at Brown University. He specializes in legal and constitutional history in the Ottoman Empire\, Middle East\, and South-Central Asia\, as well as the social history of diasporic communities connected to these regions. His first book\, Afghanistan Rising: Islamic Law and Statecraft between the Ottoman and British Empires\, was published with Harvard University Press in November 2017. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOur discussant\, Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer\, is currently an Assistant Professor of History and Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at NYU.  Ayşe is a specialist in Middle Eastern history with a focus on early modern Ottoman and Safavid Empires. Her research interests are centered around questions surrounding the Sunni-Shi‘ite conflict during the early modern period and its enmeshment with issues of political\, religious\, and fiscal legitimacy in inter-confessional and inter-imperial contact zones. \n

SUMMARY:RACISMS IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE: “INNOCENCE LOST”
DESCRIPTION:CLACS is proud to present “Innocence Lost”\,  by Marie Cruz Soto (NYU Gallatin) as part of the Racisms in Comparative Perspective Working Group. \nAbstract: \n“Innocent Lost” is the fifth chapter of The Life of Isla Nena: Disposability\, Unruliness and the Colonial Order of Things in Vieques\, Puerto Rico.  The book manuscript broadly traces the makings of disposability and the efforts to unmake it.  It delves into how islanders have been branded disposable and into how that disposability has hinged on the value assigned by empires to the island over the past five centuries.  The colonial order of things in Vieques has made not only racialized others but disposable ones.  Chapter 5 discusses the entrance of the U.S. Navy into Vieques and the changes it forced upon the island-community.  The 1940s expropriations of three-fourths of the island to make way for the Navy destroyed agricultural activities and broke people’s attachments to land and barrios.  It precipitated a re-articulation of communal bonds and overall politics of belonging.  Furthermore\, the arrival of the Navy made the Viequense identity inseparable from the experience of displacement and dispossession.  To be a Viequense after the 1940s has been in many ways to be an expropiada.  But an unruly one. \nAbout Marie Cruz Soto: \nMarie Cruz Soto received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and teaches at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study\, New York University.  She is interested in processes of becoming that denote the workings of empires\, and in decolonizing struggles to un-become.  Her works focuses on Vieques\, Puerto Rico\, and explores how colonialism\, particularly in its militarized iteration\, has impacted the island-community.  She is currently working on a book tentatively titled The Life of Isla Nena: Disposability\, Unruliness and the Colonial Order of Things in Vieques\, Puerto Rico.  It traces how Viequenses have been branded disposable through a long history of violent imperial interventions.  She argues that the marking of disposability ensures a vulnerable and unruly population. \nCruz Soto is also a peace activist who has participated in Viequense community initiatives\, in the organization New York Solidarity with Vieques and in transnational networks of solidarity against U.S. military bases. \nAbout Racisms in Comparative Perspective Working Group: \nIn this new/old political context\, discussions about race and racisms have exploded. Postraciality and the multicultural rights frame are being challenged at the core and more intensely than ever before\, glimpses of proto-fascist policies and actions are on the rise.  As a working group which is part of the larger Red de Investigacion Accion Antiracista en las Americas (RAIAR)\, we want to continue contributing to the debate on how best to fight against this emergent racist/classist backlash. The analysis of race and racism in the Americas being done by our presenters since 2010 when Carmen Medeiros and Pamela Started the started the group. \nThis event is free and open to the public. ID is required to access the building. The conversation will be held in English. \n

SUMMARY:African Diaspora Forum-Maya Trotz (U. of South Florida) and Kevin Rhiney (Rutgers U.)
DESCRIPTION:Caribbean in the Flux of Change – People\, Land\, Air & Sea \n  \nBattered States and ‘Resilient’ Futures? A Critical Reflection on the Caribbean post Irma-Maria \nKevon Rhiney\, Rutgers University \n  \nRoughly one month after hurricanes Irma and Maria battered the Caribbean nation of Dominica\, Roosevelt Skerrit\, the Dominican Prime Minister asserted\, “we have a unique opportunity to be an example to the world\, an example of how an entire nation rebounds from disaster and how an entire nation can be climate resilient for the future.” Skerrit’s message relays a common theme emerging throughout the Caribbean after the devastating 2017 hurricane season\, that saw two of the most powerful hurricanes in recorded history wreaking havoc across the region. Though Irma and Maria serve as a stark reminder of how vulnerable the Caribbean is to extreme climate events\, there seem to be a growing emphasis on the opportunities presented by the post-hurricane situation. Ideas around resilience and ‘building back better’ are increasingly being used to justify recovery efforts aimed at rethinking existing development paradigms. At the same time\, events that have unfolded since Irma and Maria have revealed just how much these ‘natural’ disasters intertwine with underlying issues of non/sovereignty and uneven development. In this talk\, I demonstrate how the current post-hurricane situation has become a highly contested and politicized post/colonial terrain\, and offer some initial thoughts on how we might best understand these recent developments. This includes a foregrounding of the historical legacies driving modern-day vulnerabilities across the region\, and a rethinking of ‘resilience’ as a precondition for securing sustainable Caribbean futures under a changing climate. \n  \n  \nCaribbean People Centered Resilient Futures   \nMaya Trotz\, University of South Florida \n  \nResilience\, Build Back Better\, Climate Adaptation – commonly used terms in the Caribbean region today for new climate financing mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Having a job that puts food on the table gets packaged as investments in workforce development with a particular emphasis on gender\, improved irrigation for agriculture\, value add nutritional crops\, and improved livelihoods. Restoring a coral reef devastated by an earthquake and/or hurricane becomes a coastal resilience project to increase biodiversity\, flood protection\, science literacy on climate change\, the number of women licensed as tour guides\, and improve livelihoods. As the region plans to raise the funds and spend billions of dollars on infrastructure for the provision of food\, water\, electricity\, transportation etc.\, designing the projects for that investment provides opportunities for meaningful community engagement\, including inter island and diaspora relations. Using projects that I have worked on in the Caribbean\, this talk discusses opportunities and challenges to build more community focused solutions and management practices for critical resources. These projects range from 1) Water Sector Resilience for Sustainability in Barbados\, a GCF funded project to the Caribbean Community Climate Change Center for the Barbados Water Authority\, 2) Reefs of Hope\, a $100 million dollar 100&Change proposal\, and 3) a sustainability challenge for high school students in 12 Caribbean countries\, the Sagicor Visionaries Challenge.
