Dear MARMAM list colleagues, I'm writing to share the announcement for an upcoming environmental history seminar that I will give for the Massachusetts Historical Society on 9 December 2025 on the topic of whaling in the Caribbean. Specifically, the discussion will illustrate the historical connections between 18th- and 19th-century American whaling as described in Melville's Moby-Dick and whaling as it's practiced in St. Vincent & the Grenadines today. The event is free, open to the public, and intended for a general audience. It will take place in-person in Boston and simultaneously online. The organizers ask that interested participants preregister at the following link: https://www.masshist.org/events/so-wide-a-chase Registered participants will receive by email a draft of the paper being discussed a day or so before the event. Thank you, Russell Fielding -- Russell Fielding, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Anthropology & Geography, Spadoni College of Education & Social Sciences HTC Honors College Coastal Carolina University Conway, SC 29528-6054 USA +1 843-349-2396 rfielding@coastal.edu<mailto:rfielding@coastal.edu> russellfielding.com<https://russellfielding.com/>
