To celebrate the inaugural issue of Global Nineteenth-Century Studies (GNCS), the Society for Global Nineteenth-Century Studies will host a two-day symposium on oceanic approaches to nineteenth-century culture, ecology, economics, history, and politics in a range of global contexts.

Intentionally broad in scope, the symposium seeks to cross-map nineteenth-century studies with key currents of the blue humanities, the Black and circum-Atlantic, Indian Ocean studies, oceanic ecologies, post- and decolonialism, maritime globalization, and beyond.

We welcome participants from any discipline and at any stage of their scholarly career. Please see the full call for papers here.

​

Selected symposium participants will also be invited to a collaborative online writing workshop in 2023. Revised papers may be considered for publication in GNCS or in the Studies in the Global Nineteenth Century book series by Liverpool University Press.
