CALL FOR PAPERS "SOCIAL CONFLICT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE IN COMPARATIVE AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE" A Northeast Regional Conference http://www.yale.edu/environmentalhistory/programs/conference.html Yale University, April 17, 2010 New Haven, Connecticut OVERVIEW: Yale University’s working group on global environmental history invites paper proposals from GRADUATE STUDENTS AT NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITIES for a one-day regional conference entitled “Social Conflict and Environmental Change in Comparative and Historical Perspective.” Three moderated panel sessions will explore global social and environmental conflicts. Professor Donald Worster of the University of Kansas will deliver a lunchtime address on the conference theme, and a faculty panel and reception will conclude the day. Social conflicts over natural resources shape the abilities of communities and nations to access water, energy, food, and other critical needs. These struggles to control and manage resources - as well as ideas about these resources - have profound implications not only for ecological integrity but also for social justice and equity. Environmental history scholarship has played a leading role in exploring the origins and unfolding of such struggles, whether between governments and indigenous peoples, corporations and communities, scientists and the public, or different ethnic groups. In choosing a broad theme for the conference, we hope to encourage submission of abstracts that address the wide range of environmental history’s subgenres, whether dealing with material resources, intellectual debates, social changes, or cultural practices. Conference organizers are particularly interested in the inclusion of comparative and non-U.S. perspectives on environmental history. Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes, based on papers circulated in advance to panel commentators and attendees. Abstract submissions should be in the form of a SINGLE document, and must include the following: (1) your name, institutional affiliation, and contact information; (2) a 250-word abstract; (3) a one-page C.V. Submissions must be emailed to environmentalhistory@yale.edu by December 1, 2009. ** Submissions are invited from graduate students enrolled in doctoral programs in New England, New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania. ** Accepted presenters will be notified by December 20, 2009 and asked to submit a full version of their paper for circulation to conference attendees and commentators by March 1, 2010. Please contact environmentalhistory@yale.edu with any questions.
