The MSRU is a research unit within the Faculty of Arts, whose purpose
is to foster interdisciplinary research on maritime studies, understood
as the interpretation of human behaviour in marine and coastal environments,
in the past and to the present day. The Unit furthers this objective
with workshops, colloquia, publications, and research projects and by providing
advice and support to other units within the University. Membership
in the MSRU is open to faculty and staff of Memorial University of Newfoundland
with research interests in maritime studies. Other scholars with parallel
interests, including graduate students in the University’s Faculty of Arts,
are eligible for associate membership. Currently, the MSRU has associate
members in Canada, England, Nigeria, Scotland and the United States.
