Seafaring Women Aboard and Ashore Network Workshop, Day 1

Wednesday, April 29, 8:45 a.m.-2:45 p.m.

HH-1013

This workshop will convene scholars focused on women and other marginalized identities in maritime spaces to consider what has been the impact and what is the future of the expansion of maritime studies, particularly those driven by gender, on both scholarly and popular conceptions of maritime life. As part of the Lloyd’s Heritage Foundation-funded SWAAN Project (Seafaring Women Aboard and Ashore Network), this discussion will be folded into a wider consideration of women’s work in modern maritime industries to produce resources for promoting recruitment, bettering retention, and encouraging training of women in careers in these spaces.

Presented by Maritime History Archive
