Lisa Jackson
Lisa Jackson is a fourth-year graduate student in the cultural section. She works with Professor Neil Whitehead in Latin America, specifically Honduras . Her work traces lobsters from the Caribbean waters of the Miskito Coast of Honduras to corporations such as Red Lobster and Sysco Foods as a way to study broader issues of globalization, economic inequality, and social injustice. Her study examines not only economic disparities but also the ecological and material limits of a natural resource confronting ecological degradation, the gendered tension in a traditionally matrifocal society amidst newly asserted male economic power, and the health repercussions of excessive deep-water diving.
