MA History and Film, 2014
In 2013, as part of the first module of my MA History and Film course, I submitted an assignment focussing on the representation of the USS Indianapolis disaster in Steven Spielberg's 1975 summer blockbuster Jaws.
Fast forward to 2025, and a few related publications later, I was given the fantastic opportunity to deliver a speech on this topic (titled 'Bomb Voyage: The USS Indianapolis Disaster in American Cinema and National Memory') to naval historians from across the world at the prestigious McMullen Naval History Symposium - held at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis.
