Navigating Learning, Culture, and Identity in Island Education invites readers into the lived educational experiences of island communities, where geography, tradition, and the rhythms of the natural world converge to characterize distinctive pedagogical practices. In these contexts, educational processes are characterized by situated relationships—with the land and sea, with cultural memory and identity, and with the often-close-knit social fabric of island communities. While challenged by limited infrastructure and scarce resources, island communities cultivate pedagogies of resilience: adaptive, situated, and deeply relational. These educational approaches emerge not in spite of “isolation” but through it—formed by proximity, interdependence, and a sustained attentiveness to place. Navigating Learning, Culture, and Identity in Island Education explores selected educational landscapes across a range of island communities worldwide. From the Greek Aegean to the Ryukyus, from Ponza and Sicily to the Maldives, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and the Canadian Maritimes, this volume highlights how spatial distinctiveness, cultural hybridity, and ecological vulnerability shape the ways in which people learn, teach, and lead in island contexts. Educational practices arise in response to local histories, environmental precarity, linguistic and cultural diversity, and the legacies of colonization. Themes explored include school-community collaboration, sustainability education, inclusive and intercultural pedagogy, literary imaginaries of the sea, leadership development, and the complex transitions faced by students in island-based higher education. Spanning formal, non-formal, and community-based learning across various small island states and territories, the chapters establish a productive dialogue between educational research and island studies. This volume offers both theoretical insights and practical approaches for educators, scholars, and policymakers seeking educational paradigms that are both locally grounded and globally resonant. At once rooted and far-reaching, Navigating Learning, Culture, and Identity in Island Education invites readers to rethink what education means in places defined not only by their geography, but by their imaginative, cultural, and ecological distinctiveness.

Hawaii is a rare and special place, in which beauty and isolation combine to form a vision of paradise. That isolation, though, comes at a price: resources in modern-day Hawaii are strained and expensive, and current economic models dictate that the Hawaiian Islands are reliant upon imported food, fuels, and other materials. Yet the islands supported a historic Hawaiian population of a million people or more. This was possible because Hawaiians, prior to European contact, had learned the ecological limits of their islands and how to live sustainably within them. Today, Hawaii is experiencing a surge of new strategies that make living in the islands more ecologically, economically, and socially resilient. A vibrant native agriculture movement helps feed Hawaiians with traditional foods, and employs local farmers using traditional methods; efforts at green homebuilding help provide healthy, comfortable housing that exists in better harmony with the environment; efforts to recycle wastewater help reduce stress on fragile freshwater resources; school gardens help feed families and reconnect them with local food and farming. At the same time, many of the people who have developed these strategies find that their processes reflect, and in some cases draw from, the lessons learned by Hawaiians over thousands of years. This collection of case studies is a road map to help other isolated communities, island and mainland, navigate their own paths to sustainability, and establishes Hawaii as a model from which other communities can draw inspiration, practical advice, and hope for the future.

The first book to comprehensively explore the cognitive foundations of human spatial navigation Humans possess a range of navigation and orientation abilities, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. All of us must move from one location to the next, following habitual routes and avoiding getting lost. While there is more to learn about how the brain underlies our ability to navigate, neuroscience and psychology have begun to converge on some important answers. In Human Spatial Navigation, four leading experts tackle fundamental and unique issues to produce the first book-length investigation into this subject. Opening with the vivid story of Puluwat sailors who navigate in the open ocean with no mechanical aids, the authors begin by dissecting the behavioral basis of human spatial navigation. They then focus on its neural basis, describing neural recordings, brain imaging experiments, and patient studies. Recent advances give unprecedented insights into what is known about the cognitive map and the neural systems that facilitate navigation. The authors discuss how aging and diseases can impede navigation, and they introduce cutting-edge network models that show how the brain can act as a highly integrated system underlying spatial navigation. Throughout, the authors touch on fascinating examples of able navigators, from the Inuit of northern Canada to London taxi drivers, and they provide a critical lens into previous navigation research, which has primarily focused on other species, such as rodents. An ideal book for students and researchers seeking an accessible introduction to this important topic, Human Spatial Navigation offers a rich look into spatial memory and the neuroscientific foundations for how we make our way in the world.
