Call for Papers - "Rivers Run Through Them - Landscapes in Environmental History"

— filed under: ,

The program committee for the joint meeting of the American Society for Environmental History and Forest History Society invites panel, paper, and poster proposals for its March-April 2006 meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota. Proposals may address any area of environmental history, but in keeping with the conference themes the committee specifically solicits submissions examining the place of landscapes in environmental history. The conference site, hard by the Mississippi River, is a perfect setting in which to discuss the role of water in defining landscapes, natural and built, and their intersection and evolution.

Proposals may address any area of environmental history, but in keeping with the conference themes the committee specifically solicits submissions examining the place of landscapes in environmental history. The conference site, hard by the Mississippi River, is a perfect setting in which to discuss the role of water in defining landscapes, natural and built, and their intersection and evolution. The committee encourages the formation of panels that might focus on the following broad themes:<BR><BR>· Water and watersheds - The Mississippis impact on the development of North America has been immense, and other river systems here and abroad have profoundly influenced the course of life within their bioregions.<BR><BR>· Cross geographical and transnational boundaries - Landscapes do not necessarily recognize political boundaries but are often determined by them. Issues such as pollution, wildlife, global climate, population, among others, ought to be discussed across boundaries and borders.<BR><BR>· Land-use and landscape histories - Land-use histories are some of the most useful points of reference that inform present decision-making. A growing international focus on valuing historical landscapes is sure to affect political discussions.<BR><BR>· Cross-disciplinary landscapes - Environmental history is a product of a transforming intellectual landscape. From the first it has experienced shifts in scholarly emphasis, intensified interactions with other disciplines, from cultural and urban studies to the natural and social sciences, each of which has helped reinvigorate this still-young field. <BR><BR>Individual papers are welcome, but they are more difficult to accommodate. The committee requests that panel proposals be limited either to three papers (commentator optional), or four papers and no commentator. Participants may only present one formal paper, but they may also engage in roundtable, chairing, or commenting duties.<BR><BR>To submit a proposal, download the Conference Paper Submission Form from the ASEH website (http://www.h-net.org/~environ/ASEH/conferences.html), follow the instructions at the top of the form, save the proposal in rtf format, and send it as an email attachment to aseh2006@uidaho.edu. If you would like to submit a Poster, download the Poster form and submit in the same way.<BR><BR>Should you have questions, please contact any member of the program committee:<BR>Char Miller, Chair, Trinity University (fmiller@trinity.edu)<BR>Steve Anderson, Forest History Society (stevena@duke.edu)<BR>John Anfinson, National Park Service (john_anfinson@nps.gov)<BR>Kathryn Morse, Middlebury College (kmorse@middlebury.edu)<BR>Adam Sowards, University of Idaho (asowards@uidaho.edu)<BR>Gerald Williams, USDA Forest Service (gwilliams02@fs.fed.us)<BR><BR><BR>-----------------<BR>Steven Anderson, President<BR>Forest History Society<BR>701 Vickers Ave.<BR>Durham, NC 27701<BR>(919)682-9319 (Office)<BR>(919)682-2349 (Fax)<BR>stevena@duke.edu<BR>http://www.foresthistory.org<BR>')
