ESEH conference 2007:
ENVIRONMENTAL CONNECTIONS
Europe and the wider World
The European Society for Environmental History invites proposals for
panels and posters for its upcoming 4th conference in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, 5-8 June 2007.
Environmental historians increasingly work on a global scale, addressing
global issues or comparing local and national experiences with other
locales. Given the interconnectedness of all parts of the planet in
matters ecological, this makes excellent sense. Europe has had
longstanding relationships with the rest of the world from the beginning
of historical time, causing both enrichment and deprivation of
biodiversity and habitats. Lively exchanges of men and other biota, and
of environmental ideas, techniques and practices, existed with Asia and
Africa already from Antiquity onwards, with the Americas, Australia and
New Zealand from the end of the Middle Ages onwards. The Netherlands, a
country with a long tradition of global exchange, was one of the first
nations to foster environmental awareness.
The challenging theme for the 4th conference of the European Society for
Environmental History in Amsterdam, hosted by the Vrije Universiteit
(Free University) in Amsterdam is therefore
Environmental connections: Europe and the wider World
Proposals for panels and posters are invited, in particular for the
following thematic strands:
* exchange of biota (both intentional and unintentional)
* exchange of environmental techniques and practices (in particular
regarding water, such as for drainage, irrigation, preparation of
drinking water, cleaning of waste water)
* climate changes
* environmental movements and organisations
* monitoring the resources of the earth
Submission of abstracts: 1 February 2006 - 1 June 2006.
Panel proposals should include a cover page with panel title, list of
participants (including chair), and individual paper titles; a session
abstract of 250 words, three individual paper abstracts of 250 words and
a one-page c.v. for each participant. Poster proposals should consist of
an abstract of 250 words and a one-page c.v.
Participation from scholars living in countries with financially
low-level research and conference facilities is strongly encouraged.
