“The Matter/Material/Processes of Speculation in the Making of Deep-Ocean Frontiers”

Scholars and artists are invited to submit an abstract for a hybrid panel to be submitted for the 2024 ASEH Conference on “Changing Climates: Environmental Histories of Extractivism and Speculation” (https://aseh.org/conferences/aseh-2024-call-for-papers)

This panel, organized by Jonathan Galka and Giulia Champion, invites scholars and artists working on the matter/material/processes of speculation in the making of deep-ocean frontiers. Contributions are sought from within and beyond environmental history and the history of science, and submissions are especially sought that approach the deep-ocean in transdisciplinary frames, across contexts. 

Questions and topics addressed include, but are not limited to:


•	What are deep-ocean frontiers and how are they characterised via speculative forms?
•	What are the matter/material/processes of speculation at sea? 
•	How has the history of oceanic environments been shaped by attendant histories of speculation and extractivism? 
•	The deep-ocean and policy making.
•	The deep-ocean and financialization.
•	Depicting and articulating the deep-ocean as a frontier.
•	Deep oceanic resource-making and resource commodification; speculation and commodification as imbricated processes. 
•	The deep-ocean in colonial and decolonial contexts.
•	The deep-ocean and Environmental Justice.
•	Deep-sea frontiers may include deep trawling fisheries, marine biotech and pharmaceuticals, energy including both oil/gas and minerals including PMN in on the seabed, sulfide-rich crusts in hydrothermal vents, etc. 

The organizers anticipate seeking panel sponsorship from the International Commission of the History of Oceanography.

Please note that presenters might need to purchase ASEH membership and will have to pay registration fees, which differ depending on in-person or remote participation and career stage. ASEH also offers early career bursaries.

Please note that the hybrid format that ASEH accepts permits “a maximum of one recorded presentation per panel, rather than live virtual presentation”, so this is how we may be able to offer a hybrid format. For this reason, we ask that you include in your abstract whether you would be planning to come to ASEH in person or to send in a recorded presentation. 

Please submit a 250-words abstract with a brief 200-words biography with preferred pronouns and note on whether you’d prefer to present in-person or via recording by Monday 10th July (end of day in your timezone) so the panel proposal can be submitted to ASEH for the conference abstract deadline of 15th July. The submissions should be addressed to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]
