I am 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". In my project, I research the different dimensions of shipboard life in the pre-modern Indian Ocean using the theoretical apparatus of Critical Cultural Geography. I will analyze 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.
