Happy World Water Day!
The theme of World Water day is “Groundwater- Making the Invisible Visible.”
Water is a vital part of all life on Earth but universal access to water is greatly impacted by climate change and pollution. Groundwater is a vital source of fresh water for over 2 billion people. Bringing awareness to this resource is important so that it can be protected from pollution and included in environmental policymaking.
Project Highlight:
Heartland
A love letter to fruit and family | An almanac for Caribbean futures
By Schuyler Esprit
“This presentation is a critical reflection on a personal story. I begin with a question: how was I made? I was made in maroon history, in postcolonial modernity, in black and indigenous anticolonial resistance, in books and reading, in food and water. Each of these contexts marks a primary theme in my genealogy. But I think they intersect in complex ways in the story of my paternal grandparents' and their farming and community practices.”
In this project, as part of the Ecologies Entrelacées project, our director Dr. Schuyler Esprit connects her time growing up around her family’s livelihood and the socioeconomic phases of Dominica through introspection of her current career and interests.

Visualizing Caribbean Literature Project
The Visualizing Caribbean Literature Project is an archive project which will provide a resource for analysis or general knowledge on Caribbean authors. It will allow users to see the bigger picture of Caribbean literature and can inspire new ideas from the visualizations of data from this research. Trends in Caribbean literature can be studied where tradition/history has changed literary work in the Caribbean, how Caribbean authors interact with each other literarily, and other categories. It aims to become a resource that is usable by any age group of researchers/ interested persons.
Create Caribbean interns enrolled in HIS115 (Digital Humanities Research) for the academic year 2021-22 will contribute to this project by working to develop a multimedia resource documenting Caribbean literary history with a searchable, annotated, and mapped timeline of Caribbean literature from 1800 to the present.
