Abuelita Ecologies

Aside from the petty disposal of the vegan sliders, Mamá’s actions were recognizable to my local community in part because they represented an underappreciated ethic of environmental sustainability that author Amanda J. Baugh explores in depth in her book, Falling in Love with Nature: The Values of Latinx Catholic Environmentalism (NYU Press, 2024). The book itself is born out of Baugh’s personal experience of teaching courses on religion and environmentalism at California State University, Northridge for over a decade. It was through discussions with her students at this Hispanic-serving institution that Baugh came to realize that, as she puts it, “many of the ‘non-environmentalists’ sitting in my classroom embraced numerous measures often associated with ecologically sustainable living.” -- The Revealer

6 things I wish I knew before studying in the US

6. Desmond Loh Qi Hong Degree: BA in Cinematography and Film/Video Production University: California State University, Northridge I wish I had known how slow-paced people are in Northridge, Los Angeles, US. I was in New York and I was like, “Damn, everybody here is so quick and efficient, but where my university is located, everyone’s slow.” That’s not all; the quality of life isn’t the best either — take rent and tax as an example. Coming from Malaysia, I think the quality of life is slightly higher, like with cheaper rent. But that doesn’t mean it’s all that bad; people at my university are more down-to-earth, and I have a lot of good friends here. They do not have an ego, and we all share the same financial struggles. -- Study International
