Sarah Molinari, Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Integrative and Global Studies, was interviewed about her research on Puerto Rico’s water and debt crises on a video podcast episode of “American Prestige,” a foreign policy and global affairs podcast that is part of The Nation’s podcast network.
The episode explores the connections between Puerto Rico’s water crisis, contested economic development, and Caribbean waterway struggles. Molinari was interviewed along with professors Marisol LeBrón (University of California, Santa Cruz) and Isabel Guzzardo Tamargo (Seton Hall University), both of whom collaborated with Molinari on the Puerto Rico Syllabus, a digital resource for teaching and learning about Puerto Rico’s debt crisis.
Molinari is one of several Worcester Polytechnic Institute faculty members who are part of the Caribbean Collaborative Action Network. The network, funded by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, works to build regional knowledge, connections, and capacity to adapt climate threats.
