CFP: Northeast & Atlantic Region Environmental History Forum, June 2018, Ottawa

Northeast and Atlantic Region Environmental History Forum
Call for Papers Seventh Annual Workshop
 
Friday, June 15 and Saturday June 16, 2018
 
Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, Ottawa, Ontario
 
Deadline: March 3, 2018
 
The Northeast and Atlantic Region Environmental History Forum (NEAR-EH) is a group of scholars exploring the environmental history of the northeastern United States and northeastern Canada. This group first met in 2012 at the Massachusetts Historical Society with the basic premise that the environmental history of this region has a different story to tell than the more dominant narrative generated from the West. For six years the group has sponsored a workshop for which participants submit pre-circulated papers that are then discussed in-depth, going well beyond the typical level of engagement authors get at a standard academic conference. Many participants have since published their papers as articles, chapters of books, essays, or have used the feedback to advance their scholarly agenda and win competitive research grants.
