The drowned: cultural and political geographies

该项目旨在揭示和批判性地分析溺水和溺水者的地理分布。溺水是全球第三大常见死亡原因，也是一个普遍感兴趣的主题，但在特定文化和政治地理研究、政策和辩论方面相对有限。该项目将通过纠正这一差距和调查对溺水持久，广泛，深刻影响的共同关注而具有重要意义。预期的成果将包括关于溺水及其文化和政治影响力的公开辩论，以及从一本书，文章和博客中产生的管理。收益将包括关于如何在快速变化的环境中重新思考风险和灾害的新的基本知识和实用见解。

This project aims to reveal and critically analyse the geographies of drowning and the drowned. Drowning is the third most common cause of death worldwide, and a subject of universal interest that is relatively limited in specifically cultural and political geographical research, policy, and debate. The project will be significant by rectifying that gap and investigating shared concerns about drowning’s abiding, widespread, profound effects. The expected outcomes will include public debate about drowning and its cultural and political reach and management generated from a book, articles, and blog. Benefits will include new fundamental knowledge and practical insights about how to rethink risks and disasters in rapidly changing environments.
