Junk Ocean

Co-edited by Celina Jeffery and Ian Buchanan, Junk Ocean presents a wide variety of artists, authors and writers to address the critical urgency of the environmental catastrophe unfolding beneath the waves. It brings together contributors from the arts, humanities and scientific communities in a rare manner to deliberate upon the plethora of methods and possibilities of addressing oceanocide.

During the making of this issue, mass global migrations spurred by war, conflict and climate change, have attempted to cross the ocean in historic numbers. As such, we expanded the scope of Junk Ocean to consider how catastrophic environmental degradation transacts and interacts with the plight of refugees and asylum seekers.
