**NOTE SPECIAL DATE AND TIME**
We're partnering with the International Commission of the History of Oceanography to host a fun and informal reading group of portions of Jamie Jones's new book, Rendered Obsolete: Energy Culture and the Afterlife of US Whaling, with the intention of bringing together scholars of ocean history across Asia and beyond (thus the special time slot!) This meeting is concerned with thinking about how intersections between energy and environmental history at sea are understood and explored in Asian oceanic contexts, but it is also about introducing ourselves to one another and making connections across shared interests among those working in and on the Asian region. Readings from the book's introduction and first chapter will be posted in advance of the meeting.
