Podcast episode 6 | Part 2: The Island Stories: Colonial pasts and policies of the present
A new episode (E6 – Part 2) of the One Ocean Hub podcast series is now available online, in which Hub researcher Alana Malinde Lancaster (University of West Indies, Barbados) and Hub early-career researcher Lysa Wini (University of Strathclyde, UK) delve deeper into the discussion on the Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Alana and Lysa discussed how islands, each with their own peculiarities, are connected through many similarities and the waters of our one ocean. They also discussed Lysa’s research with her own community in the Solomons Islands, and Alana’s ongoing work with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on the ocean-climate nexus. The first part of this podcast reflected on the impact of the colonial past on present-day people and policies. Alana and Lysa addressed how the lack of access to ocean-related decision-making fora posed challenges for SIDS. They further discussed the important themes of Indigenous ways of knowing and (post)colonial knowledge extraction.
