Bio: Hevi Kurnia Hardini is a PhD researcher at the Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, specialising in the human dimensions of marine and maritime governance. Her research explores how social cognition, mindsets, and identities develop within coastal and seafaring communities and inform national-level governance. She is a member of the Cognitive Human Element in Maritime Domain (C-Helm) Centre and a scholarship participant in the Ocean Impact Ideation Program (OIIP) 2025, where she explores how academic insights can inform real-world innovation for ocean sustainability. Her work contributes to interdisciplinary dialogue on marine–maritime socioeconomics, ocean literacy, and resilience.
Summary: This seminar presents insights from a PhD research project that investigates how social cognitive development, mindsets, and identity evolve within coastal and maritime communities, drawing on sociocultural and process-relational perspectives. The study explores how social learning, cultural dynamics, and governance frameworks shape human relationships with the ocean, both at the national level and within community-based marine and maritime contexts. By introducing the concept of “social mindset restructuring,” the research offers reflections that may be valuable to CMS researchers interested in the human dimensions of ocean governance. The findings aim to contribute to interdisciplinary discussions by sharing pathways for embedding community voices, lived experience, and mindset awareness into marine-maritime socioeconomics, resilience planning, and inclusive policy development.
