Strand 3

Project 1:
From Hartlepool to Chittagong: the life & death of ships
Project 3:

Project 5:
European technologies of waste management: a material culture approach
Project 2:

Project 4:

Projects are both strand-specific in their rationale and cross-cutting, in that they all contribute to the over-arching aims of the programme. Further details regarding the strands can be found by following the links from this page.
