The Scientists of The Dawnland: Reframing the Boundaries of Knowledge Through Wabanaki Epistemologies
Date: 2025-01-01
Creator: Jonah Bussgang
Access: Open access
- This honors project explores how Wabanaki scientists navigate and reshape dominant paradigms of science, land use, and education by strategically integrating Western science with Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Through theoretical and historical analysis alongside three ethnographic interviews, I show how Indigenous knowledge is not simply surviving within colonial systems but actively transforming them from within. Framing the work through the concept of etuaptmumk (two-eyed seeing), I examine how my interviewees—Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw, Sam St. John, and Tyler Everett—use science as a relational, spiritual, and community-based practice to support cultural continuity and natural resource protection. Their work challenges the dominant binaries between science and religion, objectivity and identity, and knowledge and responsibility. They engage with Western institutions on their own terms to support their communities and uphold Wabanaki sovereignty. While the work of Indigenous scientists is increasingly studied across the U.S. and globally, Wabanaki communities remain underrepresented in this discourse. This project helps fill that gap and calls on Bowdoin College to invest more seriously in reciprocal relationships with Wabanaki communities, including institutional collaboration and the hiring of Indigenous faculty.
The Revolutionary Body & the Marxist Feminism of Wages for Housework, WITCH, and the Third World Women’s Alliance
Date: 2025-01-01
Creator: Talia Traskos-Hart
Access: Open access
- The Revolutionary Body traces three Marxist feminist groups which emerged in the late 1960s and organized through the 1970s: Wages for Housework, the Third World Women’s Alliance, and WITCH. These three groups have yet to be combined in secondary historical scholarship, and their grouping here evidences similarities in anti-capitalist organizing across demographic differences. This project delves into the groups’ conceptions of the home and the body as dual sites of oppression and sources of liberation. Through studying such issues as imprisonment, housework, and forced sterilization, this project uncovers the intensity of capitalist violence unto the body and the ensuing mysticism revolutionary women’s bodies were seen to hold.

Monteverde: Ecology and Conservation of a Tropical Cloud Forest
Date: 2000-01-01
Creator: Nalini M. Nadkarni, Nathaniel T. Wheelwright
Access: Open access
- The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve has captured the worldwide attention of biologists, conservationists, and ecologists and has been the setting for extensive investigation over the past 40 years. Roughly 40,000 ecotourists visit the Cloud Forest each year, and it is often considered the archetypal high-altitude rain forest. Featuring synthetic chapters and specific accounts written by more than 100 biologists and local residents, the 573-page book documents in a single volume everything known about the biological diversity of Monteverde, Costa Rica, and how to protect it. New short chapters which update and expand the research presented in the 2000 Oxford publication were written in 2014 and are now available.

Between Orientalism, Tradition, and Nationalism:
Building Jewish Identity in Twentieth-century Libya
Date: 2025-01-01
Creator: Jonathan Gordon Lerdau
Access: Open access
- Libyan Jewry and Jews of the Italian peninsula have engaged in near-constant interaction at least as far back as the time of the Roman empire. This project seeks to add to the history of those interactions by discussing Italian Jewish colonial impacts on the Libyan Jewish population. Using ideas of Orientalism and the imagined nation, this project demonstrates how Libyan Jewish identity was shaped by interaction with Italy and how Italian Jews worked colonially to subjugate, define, and change Libyan Jewry. Through analyzing–among other things–newspapers, scholarship, and general Italian Jewish discussion of and interaction with Libyan Jews, I show how Italian Jews (and elite Libyan Jews) worked to Italianize and later ‘Hebraicize’ the Libyan Jewish community..
