What first drew you to the ocean as a central focus, and how did that interest evolve into what is now the “blue humanities”?
How do you think studying the ocean through literature can help us think differently about challenges such as climate change today?
Are there any particular books or authors that you think students should read if they want to get a better sense of how literature connects to the ocean?
What advice would you give to students who want to bring environmental or ocean-focused perspectives into their own writing?
When you first started writing about the blue humanities, did you expect it to grow into the field it is now?
