Explaining Ourselves: Concluding the New Horizons Sessions
1 April, 2025 - Tuesday at 2pm Newfoundland Time (UTC -2:30)
This year, we explored the multiple and diverse professional demands of “explaining ourselves” as maritime historians, with a particular focus on historical truth, publishing, maritime scholarship in the public eye, networking and digital mapping. For this, we are deeply grateful to our guests for enriching our discussions and contributing to this journey.
For this final session, we aim to hold a roundtable discussion to reflect on the key themes from previous workshops. In this way, each participant will have the opportunity to briefly introduce their research and discuss how the various topics covered throughout the program might have made a difference to career strategies for “explaining ourselves” to the different audiences and agencies routinely encountered in our professional lives (publishers, grant-awarding agencies, job recruiters, the public and last but not least, our students).
An email has been sent with further details on this final workshop session. Please email us at infomarworkshops@gmail.com if you did not receive this notice.
