Blue Humanities in Bristol!

June 2, 2018 by Steve Mentz

  It’s summer in CT and the kids have just finished school, but I’m sneaking in one last academic trip into this sabbatical semester when I fly to Bristol, UK, on Sunday night, to spend a week as a Visiting Fellow at the University of Bristol.

It’ll be a busy time. Here are some highlights —

I’m planning to swim with the Henleaze Swimming Club on Monday afternoon, also get a few laps in at the pool at U. of Bristol, and maybe splash around in salt water in Clevedon if I can squeeze it in. I’m also joining a group of Earth Sciences students for a trip up the River Avon on Tuesday.

Academic events will include

  • An underwaterbristol.com workshop, co-sponsored by the amazing folks at underwaternewyork.com, on Tuesday
  • A creative writing workshop on maritime poetry on Wed morning, for Bristol students and faculty
  • A public lecture — “Toxicity, the Ocean, and Urban Space” — on Wed evening. Register here!
  • A Blue Humanities roundtable on Friday at the Marine Transgressions Conference

If you’re in or near the west of England next week, please come!
