Conceptualising Marine Identities, 2022

The research sought to collaboratively lay the foundations of an academic understanding of how the ocean can form part of a person’s identity, enabling future study of the role marine identities play in shaping the relationships people have with the ocean. An international group of marine researchers and practitioners came together in a workshop to co-produce marine identity conceptualisations. This process was supported by a photovoice collection contributed to by participants. Collaborators recruited to this project shared up to four images representing marine/ocean identity. All ‘photovoice’ contributions were compiled into an album and shared with participants prior to a co-development workshop. Images with appropriate permission to share are included in this data deposit. An online co-development workshop was held in November 2022 and was attended by 26 participants working in marine research and/or practice. Participants contributing to the photovoice and/or the workshop came from 17 different nations.

本研究旨在通过协作路径，为构建“海洋何以成为个体身份组成部分”的学术认知体系奠定基础，以期支撑后续关于海洋身份在塑造人类与海洋关系中所发挥作用的相关研究。一场协作共创工作坊中，一支由海洋研究者与实务从业者组成的国际团队齐聚一堂，共同构建了海洋身份的概念化阐释框架。本次协作过程依托参与者提交的摄影发声法（Photovoice）素材集得以推进。参与本项目的协作成员最多可提交四张用以体现海洋身份的图像作品。所有提交的摄影发声法素材均被汇编为一本影集，并在协作共创工作坊举办前分发给所有参与者。本数据集存档包中仅收录已获得合法分享授权的图像作品。本次协作共创工作坊于2022年11月以线上形式举办，共有26名从事海洋研究及/或实务工作的参与者参与。参与摄影发声法素材提交及/或工作坊的参与者来自全球17个不同国家。
