Rivers and Oceans, or the Place Where the Blue Humanities Meet Lisbon

At NOVA University of Lisbon – School of Social Sciences and Humanities new avenues of research in marine environmental history, archaeology and ocean’s heritage, ancient history and religion, and literary studies, are paving the way to more inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches, tackling area studies through transcultural and trans-chronological analytical strategies. Steaming from teaching, scientific projects, field work and public activities, this paper presents case-studies in teaching-learning practices. It also discusses a common framework for developing conceptual and practical approaches to the Blue Humanities.
