Project Summary:
This historical project explores how the Atlantic ocean was defined, observed and imagined in the 1920s and 1930s.
Project Description:
In this era, the wider context for marine scientific work included the political and economic world order after World War One, the rise of internationalism, and the popular audiences for science writing. Like other studies in the history of ecology and the environment, this project investigates how ideas about natural worlds – here, watery ones – shaped and were shaped by modern cultural and political life.
