An Ocean Apart

Abstract

My novel in progress, An Ocean Apart, is a story developed between two women across time. Through the temporally distant but thematically intersecting narratives of a pirate and a journalist, my novel explores the varieties in the female mind and the ever changing perspectives about the sea and humanity’s relationship to it. The intention of this project is to develop a novel alongside a collection of other scholarly and creative work in the form of essays, bibliographies, and blog posts, that will merge themes of feminism with environmental connection. The temporal element of this project attempts to break open our understanding of these topics from the present day to something more timeless and universal.
