| 01/01/2014 | Colloque : Panel on Climate Change in the 18th and 19th Centuries (date à définir) |
Evénement proposé pour le réseau par Anna Carlsson-Hyslop
We are currently putting together a panel proposal for new year's meeting of the AHA in Washington, DC, and we are looking for an additional panelist. Our panel will be on conceptions of climate change in the 18th and 19th centuries, with a particular focus on how notions of "climate" evolved with colonial expansion, how climatic theories intersected with concepts of race and gender, and how scholarly theories and popular ideas about growing deserts and changing climates interacted with one another. Papers on the political, economic, and imperial contexts for academic climate science would be particularly welcome.
If you're interested, please shoot us an email sometime during the next
week. Our addresses are: | |
