I work in Science Technology and Society (STS) principally on the coproduction of knowledge and space. My current research projects include narratives of prehistory focusing on South America and the spatiality of genomics.

None of this does he derive from a 36 consideration of the practices of seafaring. Indeed he goes so far as to deny that anything can be learned from experimental or replica voyaging. In his view demonstrating that it can be done tells you nothing about how it was done. 37 Helen Farr by contrast in performative mode argues seafaring is crucially based in social action and situated knowledge. Her account of what is actually involved in making an experimental sea journey across the Adriatic from Greece to Italy in the Neolithic period rightly shows seafaring is a profoundly social activity based in the collaboration, communication of practical mastery and complex knowledges of seascapes and landscapes with varying spatialities and temporalities. Seafaring is a skill which requires knowledge on a number of different levels. What may be referred to as ‘world’ knowledge involves spatial and temporal awareness and an understanding of land and seascape and a...
