The School of Histories and Humanities at Trinity College Dublin is looking to appoint an Ussher Assistant Professor in Environmental History since 1800 from 12th September 2016. This position forms part of a major expansion in the field of environmental history: another post for a specialist in the period before 1500 has already been advertised; and both post-holders will work closely with Professor Poul Holm, who has recently won a major ERC grant in environmental history. For more information see here.

The Green Thread: Dialogues with the Vegetal World is an interdisciplinary collection of essays in the emerging field of Plant Studies. The volume is the first of its kind to bring together a dynamic body of scholarship that shares a critique of long-standing human perceptions of plants as lacking autonomy, agency, consciousness, and, intelligence.
