Plant-Based Island​

​

Plant-Based Island is a course for students and activists on the history and politics of plant-based food systems and lifestyles on tropical islands. This is an interdisciplinary course which draws upon environmental history, human geography, and cultural studies. It furthers a decolonial, bioculturally diverse vision of veganism which is rooted in the experiences and perspectives of those who are currently living on the frontlines of climate change. At the end of this course, students will therefore not only be equipped to serve as multicultural vegan activists, but will also acquire an understanding of the potential linkages between veganism and climate activism on tropical islands. This course will be offered online every semester, starting in January 2026. Please contact me for further details.
