Who are we?
ESEH is a scholarly society that was founded in 1999 to promote environmental history in Europe, by encouraging and supporting research, teaching and publications in the field. The Society aims to stimulate dialogue between the humanities, environmental science and other disciplines. It welcomes members from all disciplines and professions who share its interest in past relationships between human culture and the environment.
Our aims
• Encourage the study of European environmental history in a comparative perspective.
• Foster communication among environmental 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.
Activities
Newsletter
The society publishes a newsletter, ESEH Notepad, which is quarterly published in the journal Environment and History, published by White Horse Press in Cambridge.
Website
ESEH also maintains this web site with the aim to provide resources and news for scholars and others interested in environmental history. The site also hosts a news page and it is the place to download a copy of the Notepad Newsletter. The website can be accessed at http://eseh.org
Discussion list
Along with the American Society for Environmental History, ESEH coordinates H Environment, an internet discussion forum that keeps subscribers posted about events and issues related to the field. For more information visit H- environment at http://www.h-net.org/~environ/
Conferences
The most important activity of ESEH is the organisation of 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, where scholars from all over Europe and beyond presented their research. In 2009 the ESEH, as a member of the International Consortium of Environmental History Organizations (ICEHO), was involved in organising the 1st World Conference of Environmental History which was held in Copenhagen from 4-8 August 2009.
The 2011 ESEH Conference will be held in Turku, Finland from 28 June to 2 July 2010. Please visit the conference website at http://eseh2011.utu.fi/ for more details.
More information about our biannual meetings can be found on the ESEH website and in our newsletter.
