Wheat Landraces, Small Farmers And Urban Consumers: Revival Of Einkorn In Turkey, Nurcan Atalan Helicke
Wheat Landraces, Small Farmers And Urban Consumers: Revival Of Einkorn In Turkey, Nurcan Atalan Helicke
Journal of Critical Global Issues
Cultivated for more than 10,000 years, wheat (Triticum) is one of the world’s most widely grown and important crops. Wheat has sustained humans for thousands of years in a multitude of ways. In recent years, there has been a global movement to revive wheat landraces. Landraces are typically adapted to a local area and to traditional farming systems. This article examines the revival of wheat landrace, einkorn (Triticum monoccoccum L. subsp. monoccoccum) through a case study of Turkey. There is limited literature examining the interaction of actors in decision-making processes that balance subsistence and market motivations. …
Relocating Lubra Village And Visualizing Himalayan Flood Damages With Remote Sensing, Ronan Wallace, Yungdrung Tsewang Gurung, Ryan Kastner
Relocating Lubra Village And Visualizing Himalayan Flood Damages With Remote Sensing, Ronan Wallace, Yungdrung Tsewang Gurung, Ryan Kastner
Journal of Critical Global Issues
As weather patterns change worldwide, isolated communities impacted by climate change go unnoticed and we need community-driven solutions. In Himalayan Mustang, Nepal, indigenous Lubra Village faces threats of increasing flash flooding. After every flood, residual muddy sediment hardens across the riverbed like concrete, causing the riverbed elevation to rise. As elevation increases, sediment encroaches on Lubra’s agricultural fields and homes, magnifying flood vulnerability. In the last monsoon season alone, the Lubra community witnessed floods swallowing several agricultural fields and damaging two homes. One solution considers relocating the village to a new location entirely. However, relocation poses a challenging task, as …

Socio-Economic Integration Strategies Of “Former Rwandan Refugees” In Yaoundé, Cameroon., Michèle Mc Signé
Journal of Critical Global Issues
This research is entitled The Socio-economic Integration Strategies of “former Rwandan refugees” in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This is an analysis of immigrants who were once under international protection. The presence of former Rwandan refugees in the city of Yaoundé dates back to the time of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. With the advent of the cessation clause in 2018, we are faced with individuals who must find ways of coping with the new realities. Based on the assimilation and integration of immigrant, this study analyzes the integration strategies of former Rwandan refugees. This integration is facilitated by a social context described as …
Global Social Change At The Crossroads Of Campus Internationalization And Diversity Initiatives: Unveiling Equity Practices In Us Universities, Kati Bell
Journal of Critical Global Issues
This study investigates how comprehensive internationalization policies, while creating valuable educational opportunities for students, may inadvertently contribute to increased inequity on campus. Utilizing a case study approach focused on a specific university, the research critically examines the alignment between internationalization and equity policies through document analysis and structured interviews. The study evaluates the congruency between the university's stated goals of equity and internationalization (espoused theories) and the actual day-to-day practices of the international and diversity offices (theories-in-practice). The findings reveal that the reproduction of inequity arises due to discrepancies between case study institution’s espoused theories and their practical implementation. This …
Prioritizing Indigenous Participation And Compensation In Research, Amanda Sabin
Prioritizing Indigenous Participation And Compensation In Research, Amanda Sabin
Journal of Critical Global Issues
Throughout history, the dynamic between colonial entities and indigenous groups has been characterized by exploitation and power imbalance. Indigenous knowledge has the potential to positively impact the world, through medicinal breakthroughs, radical approaches to sustainability, cultural heritage, systems of learning and adaptation, and more. Particularly in the context of research, fields like anthropology, botany and pharmacology serve to benefit from indigenous knowledge, but these interactions cannot continue to be based on extraction at the cost of indigenous communities. This work will discuss the future of relationships between researchers and indigenous communities; how this power dynamic must be transformed into an …
