New Perspectives in Environmental History

Call for Papers


Saturday, April 22, 2017

A Northeast Regional Conference

http://environmentalhistory.yale.edu

Luce Hall, Yale University
New Haven, Connecticut

** Paper Abstract Submission Deadline: December 14, 2016 **

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.

(3) a one-page C.V.

Submissions must be emailed to environmentalhistory@yale.edu by December 14, 2014. Please include your name and paper title in the filename of your submission.

** Graduate students enrolled in doctoral programs in New England, New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania are particularly encouraged to submit proposals. Graduate students from outside this region are welcome to submit proposals; preference may be given to northeastern institutions.**
