Document Actions
ESEH aims to:
- encourage the study of European environmental history in a comparative perspective.
- foster communication among environmenmtal historians across Europe, and with colleagues elsewhere.
- promote the further institutional development of environmental history within secondary and tertiary education.
- promote the research and use of environmental history in academic programmes.
- strengthen the crucial link between environmental history, all policy-making, and the general public.
In order to achieve these goals ESEH has developed a whole range of activities. The society publishes a newsletter, ESEH Notepad, which is quarterly published in the journal Environment and History, published by White Horse Press in Cambridge.
Along with the American Society for Environmental History, ESEH co-ordinates H-Environment, an internet discussion forum that keeps subscribers posted about events and issues related to the field.
ESEH also organises biannual conferences at which scholars from all over Europe and the world gather to share their work.
Since 2001 ESEH has held four successful conferences in St. Andrews, Prague, Florence and Amsterdam. In 2009 ESEH is member of the consortium hosting the 1st World Conference of Environmental History, 4th to 8th August 2009 in Kopenhagen (http://wceh2009.org). The 2011 ESEH Conference will be held in Turku, Finland (http://www.eseh2011.utu.fi). Information about past and future conferences can be found on the conference pages of this website.
Finally ESEH maintains this web site with the aim to provide resources and news for scholars and others interested in environmental history.
A membership of ESEH connects you with other European practitioners of environmental history!
