This chapter takes the form of a cross-disciplinary conversation between an island archaeologist and an island geographer. We explore the contemporary state of island studies across and between our respective disciplines, as well as engaging key con- temporary island debates surrounding conceptualisations of islands, island relations, deep time, the Anthropocene, resilience and indigeneity. We conclude with important suggestions for a more inter- disciplinary approach to island studies, given how the figure of the island itself has moved from the periphery to the centre of so many high-profile contemporary debates, especially those concerning trans- forming planetary conditions and the Anthropocene.
