Introduction to Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future by Allison Margaret Bigelow, Thomas Miller Klubock

“…Our introduction explains how each essay contributes to our understanding of five key issues in Latin American studies: (1) the relationship between the field’s regionally bound framework and emerging conceptual paradigms like the global South; (2) the potential for interdisciplinary, rather than multidisciplinary, research; (3) how to place Latin American studies in dialogue with ethnic studies; (4) how to rethink the origins of Latin American studies by tracing the long history of Latin America–generated knowledge about the region; and (5) how recent indigenous studies approaches might decolonize the field of Latin American studies. …”

Using ecosystem services to identify inequitable outcomes in migratory species conservation by Charles C. Chester, Aaron M. Lien, Juanita Sundberg, Jay E. Diffendorfer, Columba Gonzalez‐Duarte, Brady J. Mattsson, Rodrigo A. Medellín, Darius J. Semmens, Wayne E. Thogmartin, Jonathan J. Derbridge, Laura López‐Hoffman

“…Designed to quantify ecosystem services provided and received in specific locations across a migratory species’ range—and the disparities between them—the spatial subsidies approach highlights three axes of inequity: between indigenous and settler colonial societies, between urban and rural populations, and between the Global North and Global South. Recognizing these relationships is critical to achieving two mutually reinforcing policy goals: avoiding inequitable conservation outcomes in efforts to conserve migratory species, and ensuring effective long‐term conservation of migratory species. …”

Cities and climate change science after Edmonton: Knowledge, people, and organisations' influence and outreach by Nina Hunter, Brenna Walsh, Gian C. Delgado Ramos, Julie Greenwalt, Debra Roberts, Cathy Oke, Daniel Nielsen, Rob Slotow

“…There was publication reach to the scientific context, but most of the non-peer-review publications were closed access, a challenge for Global South and practitioner policy mobility. The study demonstrated how the evaluation framework could be modified for application in future research, yet while it emphasized the importance of generality and implementability, the terms were not congruent with cities and climate change science, since cities require context specific evidence. …”
