Dr Maria Borovnik

Senior Lecturer

Doctoral Supervisor
School of People, Environment and Planning

Having been trained in geography my key research is within mobilities, migration and development. I am interested in the social strategies that people use to live mobile livelihoods, how families stay connected and how people are affected. My main research has engaged within the complexities of shipping as a main driver of globalisation, and how it affects small Pacific island nations and communities, such as Kiribati and Tuvalu. I have held conversations with seafaring men and women and their families in their home environments and spent time travelling with seafarers on board a containership to understand these complexities.

Project Title: Negotiating Labour Mobilities: Seafarers after COVID-19

This project will explore the social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 induced crew ship crisis for seafarers. This humanitarian crisis resulted in more than 400,000 seafarers being stranded because of global border closures. The project focuses on the seafarers鈥� agency to make positive choices in difficult circumstances, while foregrounding seafarers as enablers of global trade. Drawing on the theoretically novel notion of ensembled agency, within a mobility justice framework, this research will address the nuances of this inequitable situation faced by seafarers. Such a perspective acknowledges the uneven systems surrounding global trade, by bringing the usually hidden attributes of seafarers鈥� agency to the surface. By applying multi-sited and ethnographic methods based on storytelling, the narratives of Pacific seafarers will be explored to analyse strategies they have used during border closures, impacts on their family situations, their ongoing struggles with restricted shore leave, and how some seafarers are negotiating avenues and options for new or ongoing labour mobilities. This study will add significantly to the understanding of mobility justice by underscoring cultural dimensions of (im)mobilities and unpacking the mobility regimes involved in the intersections of the global, infrastructure and embodied scales of labour mobilities in a maritime context.
