Think Tanks: Humans and Oceans

Building on several existing and recent collaborations and ventures, we will stage workshop that will enable us to develop a series of events exploring human relations with the oceans. The workshop will involve academics in various disciplines from the University of Bristol, UWE and Bath Spa University, as well as local charities and heritage organisations and local artists; the events planned during the workshop will allow all three universities to connect ongoing research on the sea with existing community initiatives, to involve their students in outreach work, and to embark on new educational partnerships with local schools.
