insularly
With narrow perspective
In a manner that is isolated, narrow-minded, or detached from outside influences.
The word suggests the self-contained quality of an island: The community lived insularly, largely unaware of changes happening elsewhere.
It often carries a negative connotation of provincial thinking or unwillingness to engage with broader perspectives.
