OVERVIEW:
Yale Environmental History invites paper proposals from graduate
students at northeastern universities for a one-day conference on
environmental history. Paper proposals from any region or time period
are welcome. The conference seeks to showcase new projects in
environmental history and to encourage vigorous dialogue among graduate
students and faculty.
We invite papers that address environmental
history in its broadest sense, whether dealing with political economy,
society and culture, intellectual debates, science and technology,
microorganisms and disease, or policy and planning. Conference
organizers are particularly eager to include comparative and non-U.S.
perspectives on environmental history.
The conference will consist
of three moderated panel sessions featuring graduate student papers. A
faculty panel will conclude the day. Presentations will be based on
papers circulated in advance to panel commentators and conference
attendees.
The conference format is based on successful northeast regional conferences held at Yale in recent years.
