Port na Carraidh, West Ardnamurchan.
Carson’s “Restless Sea” echoes strongly here.
Cone-sheets, wave-lines, shifting storm light…. all part of the peninsula’s continual revision.

#Islandness
Quite a lot of interest in idea of online #islandness theory conference. A few folks want it more expansive, incl oceanic and various related geographies as generative of contemporary critique.
Just in the scoping stage, so message me if this interests you.
Really excited to be part of the teaching team for this new summer school #islands #islandness

I’m exploring setting up an online annual conference covering the latest conceptual developments in thinking with #islands and #islandness. Would do this for two main reasons.
Really enjoyed kicking off, along with Godfrey Baldacchino, this year’s NZSA seminar series.
Talked on my new project exploring contemporary modes of relational and archipelagic thinking in Western critique. Tracking the shifting stakes of engaging #islands and #islandness
