BU Research Blog

It’s our pleasure to invite you to join us for an evening of research and celebration from the Department of Humanities & Law at Bournemouth University, themed around The Maritime Imagination.

We’re delighted to welcome Chancellor Dr Kate Adie who will be opening our celebrations. We’ll be showcasing existing and future research as well as making connections across and beyond the University.

The maritime theme is useful to explore the different strands of Humanities and Law research at BU that links to the literary, cultural and historical heritage of the coast and its symbolism. There is also a rich seem of work into ships and maritime law, as well as human rights research into missing people on land and at sea and the associated feelings of loss. The real and imagined borders of national identity and its relationship to liminal spaces of the coastal shoreline, provide another strand of research.

Our event begins from 5.30pm on Tuesday 21st June in Poole Gateway Building, Talbot Campus, Bournemouth University.

Please RSVP via this link and advise if you require car parking.
