Conference | Post-Imperial Oceanics
4 – 5 November 2020
Online
Despite the recognition of human reliance on the World Ocean as a biogeophysical unit, we continue to live in a world of oceanic fragments carrying legacies of past and present imperial processes. This online conference on ‘Post-Imperial Oceans’ links questions concerning imperial processes across the oceans of the world, and the world ocean as a whole. A set of scholars think with the tensions between the surface and the submarine, through their specific concerns, about post-imperial oceanics today.
