Being at Sea

Description

This half-day research symposium focuses on the more-than-human mobilities of living in and on the sea in any form, and was hosted in person and online attracting an international audience. Building on current themes of water, oceans, and coasts we invite participants to share research about the mobilities of living in and on the sea. From seaworm casts built from shifting sands to limpets and their home scars, seaweed holdfasts, oil rigs, seagrass, boats, weather, bridges, migrations, myths and stories this interdisciplinary day will explore the tensions between mobility and anchorage within a fluid environment. The symposium extends Cemore’s focus on Climate Emergency to more-than-human thinking about the sea, for a rich multi-disciplinary gathering. The name Being at Sea also indicates the shifting uncertainties of working with fluid boundaries in our constantly changing political, technical, social and environmental emergencies.
