Water protests human betrayal
How are Harry Potter and Blue Ecology connected?
The answer is Bloomsbury Publishing, the originating publisher and custodian of the Harry Potter series. Founded in 1986, much of its growth is attributable to the leap of faith it took with the Harry Potter series after the story had been rejected by all other publishers.
A current leap of faith is The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Blue Humanities which will be published in 2025. Bloomsbury Handbooks is a series of single-volume reference works which map the parameters of a discipline or sub-discipline and present the ‘state-of-the-art’ in terms of research.
It matters what stories we tell and HOW we tell those stories
“We invited Michael Blackstock to contribute a chapter on Blue Ecology because we think Michael is well-positioned to help us achieve an ambitious goal,” explains Dr. Serpil Opperman, one of four co-editors and a catalyst in the discussions behind the scenes. Her mission is to be a bridge between the humanities and science studies.
“We intend this handbook to represent the state of the art in Blue Humanities thinking across different disciplines, regions, theories, and methods. Our Handbook is divided into four sections with a total of thirty-five chapters.”
“Our hope is that these chapters will inform their readers, stimulate their critical imaginations, and leave them wanting to learn more about the discourse of the Blue Humanities.”
“We offer solutions. My solution is to recognize the distressing stories that aquatic agencies are telling us which change the way we tell our stories. It matters what stories we tell and HOW we tell those stories.”
