I'd like to put together a set of priorities or a "decolonisation manifesto" for researchers focusing on the study of islands as a means to ensure accountability. Please help me by posting your suggestions, including any relevant examples or practical tips. What should be in it? #wedoislands
Thrilled about all the speakers and especially the island archaeology session at the Islands and Island Studies conference in Jersey!

What a FANTASTIC Cafe Scientifique last night w/ friends in #Antigua & #Barbuda exploring their efforts to reach #30by30 and the case study of the #Nelson'sDockyard.
Key takeaway? Islands provide good opportunities to explore both place and space for community projects.

Beyond "islanders": we often talk in abstract terms about groups and populations but who were the people who settled the world's islands, how many women, men, children, and elders? Are there any up-to-date studies that look into founder populations and sustainable island demographics? #wedoislands
So many great island sessions at the next EAA in Belgrade!
69 Wayfaring and place-making in the Mediterranean Sea
108 Adaptations and Responses to Climate Change on Islands and in Coastal Areas around the Mediterranean
#wedoislands
More island sessions at the next EAA in Belgrade:
150 Finding the Way: Exploring Island Archaeology through Archaeological Sciences
203 Fortified by Nature, Protected by Water: Comparing Fortifications on Natural and Artifical Islands in Lakes Through the Ages #wedoislands
How can island archaeology contribute to our understanding of issues faced by minorities, refugees, and homeless people? By challenging dominant narratives and emphasising alternative perspectives, by amplifying the voices of marginalised groups and reframing narratives of exclusion #wedoislands
"Our study underscores the need to integrate both ecological and anthropogenic factors when studying island biodiversity and calls for further research into how these forces interact in insular ecosystems." #wedoislands

Island archaeology can provide insights into space exploration, cool or what?! #wedoislands
