Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Valuing Nature at the Ends of the World: Natural Capital and Climate Disaster in Belize with Patrick M. Gallagher (Columbia UP, 2026)
Q: How much does all of this influence politics?
Although ecosystem service valuations in Belize did not create substantial markets during Gallagher's research, large estimates of the reef's annual value prompted questions about who benefits from that value and whether it is being extracted from Belize. The valuations could raise political concerns without necessarily redirecting conservation practice.
Valuing Nature at the Ends of the World: Natural Capital and Climate Disaster in Belize with Patrick M. Gallagher (Columbia UP, 2026)
Q: What exactly are these things and how and why, when did they get developed?
Ecosystem services describe things nature provides to people, such as water filtration, carbon sequestration, and storm protection. Natural capital treats the ecosystems that provide those services as forms of capital that can supply benefits otherwise requiring human-built infrastructure.
Don Thomas Deere, "The Invention of Order: On the Coloniality of Space" (Duke UP, 2026)
Q: Can you talk about the archipelago metaphor and how Glissant informs your view of Caribbean thought?
Glissant's archipelagic thought envisions a relational unity across multiplicity, where islands are connected through hidden ties rather than a single central order. This model challenges continental thinking and offers a counter-narrative to linear, homogenizing histories, highlighting how Caribbean thought can register difference while remaining interconnected.
Tania Sengupta and Stuart King eds., "Reclaiming Colonial Architecture" (Routledge, 2024)
Q: What were some of the key challenges in assembling voices for the volume, and how did you ensure a broad global perspective?
They describe aiming for a broad range of voices—from academics to community members and Indigenous contributors—emphasizing collaboration and co-authorship where appropriate, to capture multiple scales and perspectives across different colonial experiences.
Tania Sengupta and Stuart King eds., "Reclaiming Colonial Architecture" (Routledge, 2024)
Q: Could you walk us through the four-part structure of the book and how you decided to categorize the projects?
The authors explain that they organized the book around four realms of demand—land, cities, buildings, and things—then selected projects that respond to those demands, placing some works in unexpected categories to reflect complex relations between colonial legacies and contemporary interventions.
