I am a geographer who specializes in the political economy and uneven geographic development of shipbreaking—the practice of dismantling ocean-going vessels to recover recyclable materials—with an empirical focus on the global and domestic ship scrapping market and the international and regional regulatory regimes aimed at managing them. This maritime relationship has produced a set of implications that tie economic growth in the shipping sector to the laboring bodies of some of the most vulnerable populations and spaces in the world. My interdisciplinary and mixed-methods approach demystifies the ways in which the global maritime economy shaped and continues to shape people’s lives and the places they live in extremely uneven ways.
