This Monday, September 2, PhD Student, Toke Kløve Junge will have his first day at Global Studies! Below you can read his personal presentation and get a short impression of his project:
My name is Toke Kløve Junge, and from the 1st September 2024 I will be starting as a PhD student with the project "A House Moving Around the World: A Critical Cultural Geography of Shipboard Life in the Indian Ocean, ca. 830-1680". I hold an MA in International and Global History from Aarhus University, and a BA in History with a minor in Religious Studies also from Aarhus. My studies have mainly focused on religious interconnectivity in the Indian Ocean and the Global South between the 14th and 20th centuries, primarily with an eye on Islam and Hinduism.
In my project, I will research the different dimensions of shipboard life in the pre-modern Indian Ocean using the theoretical apparatus of Critical Cultural Geography. I will be analyzing a variety of textual, pictorial and archaeological sources, to get a sense of how shipboard lives were ordered and how ships were construed as socio-political spaces in the Indian Ocean before the rise of European colonial powers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
