OCEANS Workshop: The Future of Blue Humanities
Thursday 21st October 2021 17:00 – 18:30 DST (online)
You are invited to join us for an online workshop exploring ocean-centric research at the University of Exeter and beyond. This event will feature short 5-10 minute research introductions from four speakers, working on environmental fiction, marine ecology, environmental history and visual arts, before a chaired open discussion about the future of oceanic or ‘blue’ research in the arts and humanities.
We are particularly keen to discuss the potential of oceanic approaches in moving beyond existing disciplinary boundaries, and the new methodologies which might underpin this, but the workshop is really an opportunity to draw together a diverse range of expertise under the banner of ‘blue humanities’ and to start discussions about collaborations and connections.
Chair: Dr Elin Jones, Lecturer in Maritime History
Participants:
Dr Rob Magnuson Smith, Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing
Dr Ruth Thurstan, Senior Lecturer in Marine Social-Ecological Systems
Dr Timothy Cooper, Senior Lecturer in Environmental History
Professor Tom Trevor, Associate Professor of Contemporary Art and Curation
