Heading to Dominica in a week to continue the work with the Kalinagos, making my research and Leverhulme funding an enabler for Kalinagos' wellbeing, quality education, equality, and capacity building. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks! @livunihss.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk

And (2) cultural heritage to improve cultural assets for education, tourism, and economic growth. This follows many community discussions and several trainings in sustainable tourism, museums, and education in Liverpool last year with a Kalinago delegation.

We are targeting (1) quality education, integrating Kalinago knowledge in schools to create a feeling of pride among Kalinago children and understanding and support among non-Kalinago pupils across Dominica. This will work towards social justice and a better, decolonised, national curriculum

I was lucky to have my case selected and got incredibly useful feedback and suggestions on how to streamline the necessary actions to improve, together with my Kalinago partners, the life of the Kalinagos in Dominica. Bringing together my research and Kalinagos elders' knowledge and practices,

One of the most neglected finds in #Caribbean #archaeology —spindle whorls. This one is from St Lucia ~ AD 600, most likely to spin cotton or agave/maguey fibres. #FindsFriday #ArchaeoSky #Textiles #TextileArchaeology #Arqueología

'It is so cataclysmically bad' for #ECR now. So painfully true. It's abt historians, but has been like this in #archaeology since yrs. I'm one of the privileged ones, and has taken me 10 ys post-PhD to land a permanent position after changing countries eight times. frenchhistorysociety.co.uk/6691/

The EAA shameful soap opera continues. The local organising committee in Serbia was not consulted or involved in the email sent to the students who were tasked with banning any dissent from established scholars (!). The EAA Executive Board Officers need to resign NOW. www.e-a-a.org/EAA2025/Home...
