A Case Study of Community-Engaged Design: Creating Parametric Insurance to Meet the Safety Needs of Fisherfolk in the Caribbean

This article uses the sale of Glenfinnan and Glenaladale in 1773 to explore how the colonial ambitions of an elite catholic family connected the northwest Highlands and Islands of Scotland with Jamaica in the Caribbean and St John's Island (Prince Edward Island) in what would later become the Canadian Maritimes. It highlights two equally significant Highland pasts at play—colonised and coloniser—and posits that they can never be fully reconciled. Each past stands as a testament to the reality of imperialism. It establishes important markers about the need to think of the longevity of the impact of the money earned in the Caribbean and how its influence was often felt across generations. While this is essentially a case study of one family cluster, the patterns that emerge of how money was earned, spent and re-invested in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is representative of many others.

East And West

This chapter breaks down the artificial historiographical and archival dichotomy between ‘east and west’ by exposing the multiple and intricate connections that facilitated the systematic transfer of people, capital and goods between the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. It will suggest that if we reorient our gaze from the economic structures of slavery and focus instead upon the family as a lens through which to explore Britain’s imperial engagement during this period, it is possible to reveal a far more interconnected and intimate vision of empire than is often credited. It will offer both a qualitative and quantitative survey of the scope of connections between the Caribbean, Britain and East India Company, alongside a consideration of how the structure of the archive can be negotiated in order to explore these questions. Finally, to provide substance and depth to these claims the chapter will offer a detailed case study of the Martins of Antigua.

An exploratory and descriptive case study of the experiences of secondary learners at a community-based learning center on the Caribbean coast in Latin America, this study explores how the Casa Morpho Community of Learners (CoL) model met the socio-emotional (SEL) and literacy needs of adolescents within various virtual environments during the quarantine in Costa Rica. Using lesson plans, teachers' reflective notes, and a developed Learners reflective survey, the following questions were addressed: 1) How did Casa Morpho's curriculum support learners in virtual environments, and with their SEL and literacy needs during the COVID-19 pandemic? 2) What practices were used and how do learners perceive those experiences?
