- Maritime Humanities: History and Beyond
School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University and Newcastle University Humanities Research Institute
1 November 2018, 16:00-18:00, Spence Watson Lecture Theatre, Armstrong Building, Room 2.98, Newcastle University (Poster)
70% of the Earth’s surface is water, but the humanities and social sciences remain stubbornly attached to the land. The maritime, or “blue”, humanities aim to redress the balance by focusing on the human relationship with the world's oceans, seas and other watery regions of circulation, exchange and interaction with non-human nature. This event brings together historians and other scholars to consider the past, present and future of the maritime humanities, using the recently published volume Oceanic Histories (Cambridge University Press, 2018) as its springboard.
The event also inaugurates the chair of Professor Stella Ghervas, a specialist in Russia and its maritime history, whose recent appointment begins a new chapter in the maritime humanities at Newcastle University.
Participants include David Armitage (Harvard University), Stella Ghervas (Newcastle University), Matthew Grenby (Newcastle University), Sujit Sivasundaram (Cambridge University) and Philip Steinberg (Durham University).
