Erica Johnson Publications
Erica Johnson is currently working on a grant titled “Islands, Archipelagos, and Cultural Ecologies” which is a 3-year environmental justice initiative funded by the Mellon Foundation for $476,000 that explores the ecological, historical, and artistic formation of an archipelago connected by differential relations with and within the US. The project is a comparative study of New York City as an island city and imperial center, the US legacy of nuclear detonations in the Marshall Islands, and the ongoing status of US empire as it manifests in the territory of the US Virgin Islands. By mapping layers of histories among these islands and engaging with islanders’ creative expressions of living through the environmental damages of militarization, in the Marshall Islands, and through hurricanes increasing in force due to climate change, in the USVI and in New York, the grant attends to a range of island-based experiences of global threats to wellbeing.

Katrina Fischer Kuh Publications
Katrina Fischer Kuh is currently working on a grant titled "Islands, Archipelagos, and Cultural Ecologies" which is a 3-year environmental justice initiative centered on developing 鶹ֱ's institutional identity as an island campus in New York City, connected to other archipelagos that are in relationship with the United States, in order to advance awareness of the impact of environmental disasters past (nuclear testing) and present (climate change). The project brings attention to the global and interconnected nature of climate change while radically reconceiving New York City as a location made up of 40 beautiful, damaged and vulnerable low-lying islands and featuring the ways in which New York City has acted as an imperial core to island peripheries. Our transnational study focuses on a diaspora of the Marshall Islands and the US Virgin Islands. The choice of these three archipelagos encompasses different points in the gradient of US sovereignty and cultural power, from the “peripheries” of a US territory and freely-associated territory, to a New York City as an imperial metropolis. The program engages with issues of waterfront planning, cultural production, collective memory, and climate and nuclear justice, contextualized by themes of vulnerability, responsibility, and resilience.
