Transdisciplinary Histories and the Rise of the Environmental Humanities
Susanna Lidström has co-authored an article in the journal Global Environment which captures a conversation from the Fourth World Congress of Environmental History, Oulu, Finland, August 2024.
Extract
"Libby Robin, a historian who is among the founders of the environmental humanities, summoned us one by one for this dialogue and we all accepted enthusiastically. We will very conveniently start our round-the-world tour in Australia, quite literally since Libby couldn’t make it to Oulu and is joining us on the screen from her home; she will take us back to the roots. We will then tour various European localities and projects to see examples of what is being accomplished in this multifaceted field. We will end our presentations by heading South, first to Africa and then to Latin America, where the environmental humanities are much less salient and where we will examine their relation to environmental history. Discussion will follow."
