CfP: II Meeting of REPORT(H)A - Portuguese Network of Environmental History
II Meeting of REPORT(H)A - Portuguese Network of Environmental History
Environmental Changes in Historical Perspective
The
Center of History of the School of Arts and Humanities of the
University of Lisbon and the Institute of Contemporary History of the
Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the NOVA University of
Lisbon, are pleased to be hosting the II meeting of REPORT(H)A -
Portuguese Network of Environmental History, in 2017 Spring.
REPORTHA
was created in 2015, following the WCEH 2014 - Second World Congress of
Environmental History, held in Guimarães and had the first meeting in
2015, in the scope of the IV CITCEM conference (5-7 November, Faculty of
Arts of the University of Porto).
Following these initiatives,
the II meeting REPORT(H)A intends to bring together researchers,
teachers, students and experts on environmental history from the fields
of human, social and natural sciences in order to create synergies among
all scholars engaged in environmental history and stimulate the debate
on an issue that has gained considerable visibility over the last
decades. The cross cutting conference theme Environmental Changes in
Historical Perspective is inscribed in transnational and
transdisciplinary approaches, a challenge to the current academic
research and debate in environmental sciences and humanities. It aims to
be a bridge between different forms of knowledge and between different
geographical and social spaces, while putting them into a meaningful
context. Thus, the conference welcomes innovative approaches
contributing to a lively exchange of ideas and experiences as well as on
new perspectives, concepts, methodologies and processes in the field of
Environmental History.
In line with the aims of the WCEH 2014, as
well as of the International Consortium of Environmental History
Organizations (ICEHO) and the first REPORT(H)A meeting, the conference
goals are:
- to foster communication and collaboration
- to share information and disseminate research
- to discuss issues, concerns and challenges relevant to further the development of environmental history.
The
conference welcomes all scholars and young researchers to present the
output of their research projects or to provide an account of the state
of art on a particular issue.
The sessions will be organized by
thematic topics, according to individual papers or panel proposals.
Works on historical sources, methodologies or the relation between
environmental history and society will be most welcome, though proposals
can focus a wide range of topics, such as:
Art and literature
Environmental conflicts
Health and environment
Historians in Conservation
Science History of Climate
Risks, vulnerability and resilience
Science and technology
Sources and working methodologies
Territory and landscape
