About
My project investigates different communities’ engagement with and representations of the seabed through culture, science communication and policy. It interrogates how these may influence marine governance and the concept of Ocean Justice, with a particular focus on "in/tangible" underwater cultural heritage and the current development of the mining code by the International Seabed Authority.
In 2022, I was also a Green Transition Fellow at the Greenhouse at the University of Stavanger, see here or here for my presentation and here for the blogpost.
See here a collaborative podcast episode created for The University of Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) Climate Crisis Thinking in the Humanities and Social Sciences Network in the context of COP26 entitled "Stories from the Ocean: What can COP26 learn from Coastal Communities".
I volunteer for the International Commission of the History of Oceanography and I'm also a co-convenor for the Haunted Shores Network and the Reading Decoloniality Group and a collaborator on the Ecological Reparation Project.
