The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society and Project House Europe, both located at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, invite applications for their joint fellowship.

The Rachel Carson Center (RCC) fosters innovative research and education in the environmental humanities and social sciences. Project House Europe (PHE) promotes cutting-edge research from around the world on the history of Europe during the 20^th and 21^st centuries.

As international and interdisciplinary research centers, they award one joint fellowship to a postdoctoral or senior scholar working across disciplines and striving to contribute to the public dialogue on contemporary European environmental history.

Applicants’ research and writing should encompass the central themes of both the RCC and the PHE: Research at the RCC is concerned with questions of the interrelationship between environment and society, and the social, political, cultural, and environmental factors shaping this interrelationship. PHE focuses on the history of Europe’s inner (dis‑)entanglements and its place in the world since 1918, in particular forms of trans- and international cooperation and their crises.

Terms

Fellows will be based in the heart of Munich at either the RCC or PHE and have no teaching obligation. They are expected to spend their fellowship in residence, to work on a major project, and to participate actively in life at RCC and PHE, including a presentation of their work. The fellowship does not support field trips or archival research. Fellowships can be granted for a period of one to three months. Fellowships may begin on 25 April 2022, or the first day of any of the following months; they end on or before 29 July 2022. RCC and PHE offer time, guidance, and space for dialogue to conduct excellent research. We provide an office space and access to LMU’s facilities. The fellowship also covers economy travel to and from Munich, a monthly living allowance and an accommodation allowance. Health insurance and other social benefits are not part of the fellowship and remain the responsibility of the fellow.

How to apply

Applications must be received by 29 July 2021. The application (in English) should include the following:

• Cover letter (750 words maximum), including preferred dates and duration;
• Curriculum vitae (3 pages maximum);
• Project description (1,000 words maximum);
• Names and contact information of three scholars as references. These should be people who know you and your work well. Please note that we do not initially require letters, and we will not necessarily contact your referees.

Please send all application documents electronically as a single PDF file to Thomas Süsler‑Rohringer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) AND to Arielle Helmick (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Dear members of REPORT(H)A

We invite you to visit the website of the IV Meeting of REPORT(H)A - Portuguese Network of Environmental History, between 14 and 16 October 2021.

The meeting adopts, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the title Sapiens, Health and the Environment - Natural and Artificial Frontiers https://www.reporthameeting2021.com/

Deadline for abstract and posters submission 6 July 2021

The meeting is organized by the Centre for History of Society and Culture (CHSC), in partnership with the Institute of Interdisciplinary Research of the University of Coimbra (iii-UC) and other research centers of the University of Coimbra.

Dear members of the ESEH,

I'm writing today to announce our next biennial ordinary general meeting (OGM), which will take place as an online event despite the fact that we postponed the Bristol conference to 2022. There are indeed a number of institutional duties that we have to accomplish independently of the fact that we will not have a physical meeting: approve the activities of the outgoing board, assess the society's finances, decide possible changes to the membership fees and vote for a new board, some regional representatives, and the financial control committee.

The OGM will take place on July 9, 2021 at 11:00 CEST as a Zoom webinar. The outgoing board will present the relevant reports for the past two years and the candidates for the new board will briefly introduce themselves. Questions will be taken in written form on Zoom's chat and answered live during the webinar.

Elections will take place as a Surveymonkey poll. Details about all candidates running for the different open positions are available on our website: http://eseh.org/events/eseh-nominations-page-2021/<https://eseh.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4889f0476c5add6417b9b6ea4&id=bce3f5efed&e=ea0772fc2f>. Current members will receive an email invitation that will allow them to anonymously vote once. The email will be sent right after the OGM. Please make sure to check your spam folder for emails from Surveymonkey.

The poll will stay open for 5 days so as to allow the greatest possible participation. A further email will be circulated a week after the OGM to inform you of the results.

Please attend the OGM. In case we don't reach the quorum we will have to call another OGM on a later date and postpone the elections as well.

If you want to participate in the OGM and vote and you haven't paid your dues for 2021 yet, please make sure to do so by June 25, 2021. All information in this regard is also available on our website: http://eseh.org/membership/renew-your-membership/<https://eseh.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4889f0476c5add6417b9b6ea4&id=53239b75e7&e=ea0772fc2f>.

The link to the Zoom webinar will be shared with members in good standing with membership fees in a separate email after the cut off date for renewals mentioned above.

The GA will be included in an exciting two-day program of events and discussions we will announce with a separate message. Stay tuned...

All best,
Marco Armiero
President of the European Society for Environmental History
