Global School faculty and WPI Community Climate Adaptation alumni are set to publish an edited volume titled Building Equitable Climate Adaptation Partnerships in the US Caribbean with Palgrave Macmillon’s Pivot Series Initiative. The book will be edited by Caribbean Collaborative Action Network (CCAN) postdoc and Department of Integrative and Global Studies (DIGS) faculty member, Dr. Sarah Molinari and CCAN Co-PI and Dean of the Global School, Dr. Mimi Sheller.

Additional chapter contributors include DIGS faculty Dr. Sarah Strauss, Dr. Seth Tuler, Dr. John-Michael Davis and Dr. Scott Jiusto, and CCA Master’s graduates Sol Giesso, and Jonathan Chang. The group explores CCAN’s work in the US Caribbean via shared action learning with the Puerto Rico Project Center’s university-community collaborations, through local perceptions and policy analysis around climate adaptation in the US Virgin Islands, and in participatory methodologies for climate adaptation planning.

The book will be available in hardcover and EBook in late 2025.
