Now up to 516 items (including several from 2023 alone!), our shared Coastal Studies / Coastal History library on Zotero is right here: www.zotero.org/groups/25030... . Just added something stray from back in 2021, it appeared in the journal Comparative Literature so it wasn't on our radar. #BlueHumanities #CoastalStudies #CoastalHistory #histodons #envhist

New publication, "free access." An introduction to a special issue. "Yellow Sea Studies: Toward a Cross-Cultural and Transboundary Approach," Coastal Studies & Society (2023).

A favourite piece of the project has to be the timeline of whales in Yorkshire's history and heritage. I charted over four centuries of human-whale encounters, from Arctic whaling to c20th captivity to whale watching today. It includes major historical dates for cetaceans in Britain, representing 800 years of interspecies history. Lots of images, including engravings, maps, museum artefacts & nature photography!

Interdisciplinary book on Lake Ladoga; English-language version just out this month! If you look this up on Google Books, you can read it Open Access. I have a short piece in here, “Taking Lakes Seriously,” which is a roundup of recent scholarship by historians from around the world. I solicited tips and citations for that on social media, one way that these platforms enhance academic life even if we gripe about them at times. #CoastalHistory #CoastalStudies #Ladoga #BlueHumanities
