CONCHA

European
CONCHA is a multidisciplinary project that employs methodologies from different disciplines to address its main objectives. Relying on history, environmental history, art history, literature, terrestrial and subaquatic archaeology, digital humanities, science communication and environmental awareness, this is a very novel approach of constructing dialogues among disciplines that normally do not cross.
In this project we expect to bring together cultures, history and heritage of different geographic locations in the Atlantic, focused on the creation of new human geographies and frontiers resulting from early modern transatlantic interactions, including those established across Atlantic latitudinal coasts and those created across the hemispheres. Instead of aggregating a few discrete European histories and several regional histories of European, African, and Amerindian peoples, the project takes an integrative or global approach to construct a truly oceanic history.
