A podcast engaging with the oceanic turn in the global South, focusing on issues within surfing as a lifestyle sport. Co-hosts: Karen Graaff and Glen Thompson
We are taking a break over December and January. New podcast episodes will continue in early 2025 as we close off Season 1 and then dive into Season 2. Thanks for listening!
Episode 5: Queering surf spaces is live. We discuss the heteronormative culture in surfing, its history, & often unwelcoming spaces for anyone not cisgendered & heterosexual. We look at how queer surf groups have made their own safe spaces & how most surf orgs fail to do this.
We have just dropped two episodes on the history of surfing in Africa. Part 1 covers surfing in West Africa in the colonial era (from c.1500) and part 2 reviews the diffusion of surfing in Africa from c.1900 to the Olympic present. Listen here https://t.co/wAztoxRBN2
New episode is out: Episode 3 dives into the history of surfing in Africa during the colonial era, focusing on African surfing practices in West Africa, as part of wider scholarly work in critical surf studies and the blue humanities. Listen at https://t.co/wAztoxRBN2
Podcast Episode 3 has dropped: in “The Waves Don’r Discriminate” we discuss the issue of fairness in the sport of surfing, and how a term that sounds neutral is in fact heavily politicised. Listen ⬇️
