Jeff Wescott is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Ocean Policy at Sea Education Association (SEA) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. He was trained at the University of California, San Diego and was a Fellow at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. His early research focused on environmental practice as moral and political resistance in island Melanesia. Since joining SEA faculty in 2015, he has explored how the ocean mediates place attachment and meaning and the pedagogical potential of the blue humanities. He is currently investigating knowledge co-production in island environmental histories.
