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). An interesting mix of very old and very new in the citations/historiography here. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26349817231191307 #CoastalStudies #CoastalHistory #BlueHumanities #EastAsia #histodons

I’m in fine company 😂🐧🧊 #envhist #CoastalStudies

Our March 2023 special issue "Living with Coasts," honoring John Gillis, is still 100% open access / no paywall for the next couple weeks. https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/clsa/2/1 #EnvHist #CoastalStudies #CoastalHistory #histodons #interdisciplinary

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

Our interdisciplinary special issue honoring John Gillis is unlocked, no paywall for the next 6 weeks. Link to it from the blog post here: https://niche-canada.org/2023/06/27/john-gillis-and-the-creation-of-coastal-studies/ #BlueHumanities #CoastalHistory #CoastalStudies

New this week! I was interviewed for a naval history podcast, Preble Hall, with one of my co-editors Rob James about the #CoastalStudies concept and our new journal. Episode 186 here: https://www.usna.edu/Museum/PrebleHall/index.php #CoastalHistory #maritime Thanks to Sharika Crawford of the U.S. Naval Academy for making the introductions here!

Busy environmental history day here--setting last pieces in place for special issue on #EnvHist of Islands (coming soon!), and looking at page proofs for my own short essay "Taking Lakes Seriously." #CoastalStudies #BlueHumanities

Lovely #CoastalStudies Reading Group yesterday, Soren Frank joined us to discuss the introduction to his new book A Poetic History of the Oceans: Literature and Maritime Modernity (Brill, 2022) which comes in an Open Access format. https://brill.com/display/title/57183?language=en @stevementz

New book klaxon, sounds like this #EnvHist of fisheries in medieval Europe has been in the works for a long time. #BlueHumanities #CoastalHistory #CoastalStudies #maritime

@nushpowell
Excellent! If you know others who are working on maritime themes, please direct them towards us. We are a motley crew--people working on #navigation, #voyages involving the same, #CoastalStudies, the #MiddlePassage, #PortCities, and much more. Our definition of "#EarlyModern" is ample. I work in the 16th and 17th centuries, but we have followers who are medievalists and others who work in the 21st C. The #sea is what brings us all together!

Just wrapped up #CoastalStudies reading group meeting for this month, I was adding new citations to our Zotero shared bibliography as we went. So much to keep up with, but it's great that there's interest across so many disciplines and languages!

Added a couple forthcoming publications (not by me!) to the #CoastalStudies Zotero bibliography: @stevementz _Introduction to the Blue Humanities_; Sarah Rich and Peter Campbell, eds., _Contemporary Philosophy for Maritime Archaeology:
Flat Ontologies, Oceanic Thought, and the Anthropocene_

@earlymodernmaritimestudies For anyone interested in watery or terraqueous worlds, here is the schedule for the #CoastalStudies reading group (Feb-June). Contact me if you’d like me to send you a Word Doc version of this. You can reach out to @stevementz or Anna Pilz, whose emails appear on the schedule, if you’d like to be added to our mailing list.

@earlymodernmaritimestudies

If you follow this group and know one other person who's working on maritime topics, please encourage them to follow us, also! Perhaps it will be a colleague who is interested in #EarlyModern #Navigation as the primary mode of transportation during periods of #ImperialExpansion and #Colonization, perhaps someone who works on #OceanStudies, on the #AtlanticWorld or on #TranspacificStudies, on early modern #TravelLiterature, on the #MiddlePassage and the many topics associated with the #SlaveryArchive, on #Pirates, on #MediterraneanStudies, in #CoastalStudies or on #PortCities. #CulturalStudies folks and #Histodons all welcome. Any work on early modern #BlueHumanities themes would be more than fitting. And while I'm at it, please share something about your own work on the group page! We're still getting to know one another. With thanks to the most avid supporters of the group. 😊
