“O rural depois do fogo” - VII Congresso de Estudos Rurais - VII CER (Escola Superior Agrária de Coimbra, 23-24 de março de 2018)

“O rural depois do fogo” - VII Congresso de Estudos Rurais - VII CER (Escola Superior Agrária de Coimbra, 23-24 de março de 2018)
Depois dos grandes incêndios que assolaram o país no verão de 2017, a Sociedade Portuguesa de Estudos Rurais (SPER), em colaboração com a Escola Superior Agrária de Coimbra (ESAC), dedica o seu VII Congresso ao tema “O rural depois do fogo”, previsto para os dias 23 e 24 de março de 2018.
 
Depois do “luto” sobre a catástrofe, entende-se que será o tempo apropriado para analisar e discutir as causas principais dos incêndios rurais, os seus impactes sociais e económicos, formas de os mitigar e controlar, tendo em vista uma melhor gestão dos espaços rurais, mais sustentável e com maior coesão social e territorial.
 
Para além de convidados de reputado mérito nacional, convidam-se ainda estudantes, técnicos, investigadores, gestores e decisores institucionais a apresentaram propostas de comunicações a serem discutidas no decorrer do congresso. Os resumos das comunicações poderão ser enviados online, através da página da SPER, a partir de 15 de dezembro de 2017 (mais informação em anexo).

CfP: The Environmental History of the Pacific World (Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, China, 24-26 May 2018)

CfP: The Environmental History of the Pacific World (Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, China, 24-26 May 2018)
An international workshop to be held at the Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, China, 24-26 May 2018
 
Sponsors:
The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich
Department of History and The Center for Oceania Studies, Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou
The Center for Ecological History, Renmin University of China, Beijing
 
The Pacific Ocean is the ancient outcome of plate tectonic movement, creating one of the largest eco-regions on earth.  Although navigators explored those waters early on, and peoples spread to all the ocean’s shores and penetrated as far into the center as the Hawaiian archipelago, it was not until the 16th century that the great body of water was discovered as a whole and mapped at a global scale.  Since then, the Pacific has become a place of increasing human-nature interaction—through international trade, warfare, cultural interchange, and extraction of resources.  Our conference aims to bring this ocean more fully into the discourse of environmental historians.
 
We invite anyone interested to submit a proposal for a paper relevant to this theme (no panels please).  Topics may include the changing effects of the ocean and its currents on weather and climate patterns, the rising ecological impact by human activity on the ocean’s ecosystems, the role of its marine and island resources on international development, the competition among cultures and nations for “ownership” of the sea, and the networks of trade and knowledge exchange, including mapping and scientific exploration. We are also interested in papers that deal with Pacific Rim countries and the connection of their agriculture and industry to the Pacific
