Issues in Context

Although all of our trips are different, they are all focused on core ideas and issues. We use the idea of place to connect different parts of the countries we frequent, major themes of history to frame what’s going on today, political and economic realities to explain motivations and actions on the ground, environmental changes as indicators of many factors shaping life around the world, and more. The issues in context on this blog are central to the trips to India, Senegal, and Guatemala, and the summaries on here speak to the things we witness, record, and make sense of while we travel.
