Storytelling and narration are key components in ethnography. The manner in which we write our fieldnotes, conduct our fieldwork, and interact with several communities are indicative of the stories we hear and share throughout academia. Based on a three-month ethnography I conducted as a student in the Summer of 2023 at a rural public school in Huanchaco, Peru, I explore the various ways in which positionality influence our understanding of health perception in international communities. I pose the idea that chisme, or gossip, and positionality are foundational in building community trust and knowledge as an ethnographic tool, while demonstrating the power of narratives in sexual health and sexual orientation related conversations. Norms, religious beliefs, practices, and informal education are all illustrated through exchanges between students, parents, and faculty members. As ethnographers, we gather information from interviews and observations, but realities of local contexts strategically embed themselves in chisme.

A narrative in comic form about Anacaona, an indigenous Taína leader in the present-day Dominican Republic and Haiti. The book delves into themes of ecofeminism and social justice in a diluted manner. The comic delves into themes of colonization and leads us to see that equality and land, as well as access to fair food practices, are synonymous with justice for all women.

This paper investigates the extent to which fraternity brotherhood culture can promote male-sexual assault and homophobia on college campuses through a meta-analysis of literary analyses on Greek life, university sexual scripts, and homophobic rhetoric. Examination of over ten journal articles and literary reviews of male-sexual assault, homophobia, and/or brotherhood sexual scripts reveal the underlying social and evolutionary scripts present in male-sexual assault cases, intersecting with fraternity homophobia and brotherhood sex schemas on college fraternity rows.
