Agenda
Environmental History PhD Seminar (Roosevelt Institute, Middelburg)
Opportunities for pursuing research in environmental history are expanding in the Netherlands and beyond. In the wake of accelerating climate change, many environmental historians are reflecting on how the environment changes their research practices and the implications of doing environmental historical research while inhabiting the era of climate change. To further promote and facilitate dialogue within this growing field of research, the Roosevelt Institute for American Studies and the Dutch Environmental History Network are organising an International PhD Seminar in Environmental History in Middelburg on 12-13 June 2025.
The organisers welcome proposals dealing with any timeframe or empirical focus engaging with environmental issues, especially in regard to the history of the United States. Also welcome are proposals that showcase in particular how engaging with the environment in historical research challenges and changes approaches to place, scale, time, and agency.
Abstracts could be submitted until ultimately 30 November 2024.
