The first relates to what exactly the seabed is; the second to who the stakeholders a...

Turbulent waters in three parts (2021)
Journal Article
Lehman, J., Steinberg, P., & Johnson, E. (2021). Turbulent waters in three parts. Theory and Event, 24(1), 192-219

While scientific accounts of ocean dynamics draw public attention to the turbulence of earthly matter, the science alone tells a truncated story. The ocean's turbulent materiality is more than material: practices of scientific knowledge and historica... Read More about Turbulent waters in three parts.

A critical social perspective on deep sea mining: Lessons from the emergent industry in Japan (2020)

In our response, we address two themes that appear in several of the commentaries. First, we elaborate on our decision to maintain a focus on the ocean, rather than turning to a term that speaks more clearly to geographic categories (e.g. the sea), e...

This paper builds upon previous assertions that the ocean provides a fertile environment for reconceptualising understandings of space, time, movement, and experiences of being in a transformative and mobile world. Following previous articles that ur... Read More about The ocean in excess: Towards a more-than-wet ontology.

Building a Blue Economy in the Arctic Ocean: Sustaining the Sea or Sustaining the State? (2018)
