Over the years, a number of audio and audio-visual recordings have been made of me discussing or presenting my work. A selection of these are presented here.
- In 2010, when I was still at Florida State University, I gave this talk on Art and Geography at a TedX forum sponsored by Florida State’s Art Department:
- In 2012, I published a piece (with Elizabeth Nyman and Mauro Caraccioli) in Antipode titled ‘Atlas Swam: Freedom, Capital, and Floating Sovereignties in the Seasteading Vision‘. This is a companion video that I made for the Antipode website:
- In 2013, I was part of a plenary panel at the Arctic Circle conference in Reykjavik, Iceland, where I presented my proposal for the Northwest Passage to be designated as Territorial Sea, a proposal that was developed into a full article — ‘Steering Between Scylla and Charybdis: The Northwest Passage as Territorial Sea‘ — published in Ocean Development & International Law in 2014:
- I have written a number of pieces on the work of photographer and documentary film maker Allan Sekula (including a review of The Forgotten Space on the Society & Space blog, chapter in the books Cargomobilities: Moving Materials in a Global Age (2015) and Documenting World Politics: A Critical Companion to IR and Non-Fiction Film (2015), and an obituary posted on my blog). In this video, filmed at Nottingham Contemporary in 2013, cultural critic Sukhdev Sandu and I discuss Sekula’s work:
- Also in 2013 at Nottingham Contemporary I presented the following ‘walk-through’ of the Aquatopia exhibit that was then on display there:
- I further discussed the relationship between oceans, art, cartography, and representation at this talk given in 2015 at Baltic Gateshead, at a symposium accompanying an exhibit by artist Fiona Tan:
- ‘The Geography of Territory: Rethinking Space through Arctic Materialities’ is an audio-recording made at Oxford University in 2016. The talk largely presents a summary of my book Contesting the Arctic.
- ‘New Science, New Teaching, New Arctic: Building Transdisciplinary Understanding for a Changing North’ is a keynote address delivered at a 2019 workshop sponsored by University of California, Irvine’s for scholars intending to apply to the US National Science Foundation’s interdisciplinary Navigating a New Arctic programme. In the talk, I present much of my philosophy on Arctic research and education, as well presenting overviews of many of my ongoing Arctic research and training initiatives. (Note: This video cannot be viewed directly on this page but can be accessed by following this link to its posting on YouTube.)
- In 2020, during the COVID lockdown, I presented a virtual seminar to the Marine Geology group at University College Cork: ‘Marine Geology in Context: Ordering the Ocean through Science, Law, and Politics’. The lecture explains the relevance of the law of the sea — particularly the North Sea Continental Shelf Delimitation Judgment and Article 76 of UNCLOS — to marine geologists.
- In November 2020, I gave a talk to Durham University alumni introducing key issues in border studies and explaining how IBRU is working to raise awareness of border issues and support the peaceful resolution of international boundary conflicts.
- At the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Geographers (which was held online), I gave the Political Geography plenary: Blue Planet, Black Lives: Matter, Memory, and the Temporalities of Political Geography, with Ife Okafor-Yarwood, Astrida Neimanis, and Pavithra Vasudevan serving as discussants. A revised version of the talk was subsequently published in Political Geography.
- In April 2023, I delivered a keynote address — The Disappearing Island: Land, Liquid, and the Liminal in the Ocean Environment — at the International Geographical Union’s Thematic Conference on Islands in Relations, in Osaka, Japan. The keynote (and the entire conference) was chaired by Takashi Yamazaki.
- Following the International Geographical Union’s Islands conference in Osaka, I delivered a second keynote address at its paired conference ‘The Ocean and Seas in Geographical Thought’ (Milano, June 2023). My keynote presented a broad-brush perspective on the ways in which we can think of, and think with the ocean: “‘Upon a painted ocean’: Lines and legends of oceanic division”. The keynote (and the entire conference) was chaired by Marcella Schmidt di Friedberg.
