We are ONE MONTH away from the 22nd International Graduate Students Conference! Check out the "Recovery and Resilience" theme poster for our annual gathering!

🌊This wonderful poster is done by our very own EWC participant Maria Karaan! It is inspired by ahupua'a, the Hawaiian term for traditional Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) subdivision of land. An ahupua'a often extends from the mountains to the sea, often following the boundary of stream drainage. Similar to many Indigenous communitiesʻ socio-ecological systems, the ahupuaʻa system reflects Kanaka Maoliʻs technological advancement and ancestral wisdom, and has been significant for achieving community resilience in the face of climate change and food insecurity, as well as recovering from environmental destruction. The poster is an artistic rendition of the ahupua'a system, with the blue and black colors resembling the water that flows from the mountain (top part) to the shore (bottom part).

🌺With this poster, we hope first-time participants can get to know a little bit more about Hawaiʻi---where this gathering is taking place---to honor the knowledge from this land, and to start thinking about what Recovery and Resilience look like!

Aloha, and see you in a month!
