Public Calls
One of our key goals at ProposalSpace is to create an environment where conferences can publicize their calls to a wider audience—even if they don't use us. If you know of a conference that could benefit from our free listings, please let us know and we'll be glad to add it.
ASEH 2013 Annual Conference
American Society for Environmental History
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
3-6 Apr 2013
Jun 15 2012
The American Society for Environmental History (ASEH) invites proposals for its 2013 conference.
Environmental history challenges many familiar boundaries. Our theme, "Confluences, Crossings, and Power", calls attention to flows and boundary-crossings, while also highlighting the role of power in shaping movements and their direction. We seek papers and panel proposals that engage with this theme in many different guises:
- political borders and the flows across them
- the interactions of water and land
- the crossings of peoples, species, and cultures
- movements of pollutants across landscapes and bodies
- resource and commodity flows
- urban-hinterland relationships
- the flows and frictions that constitute "globalization"
- the crossing of intellectual boundaries
- the emergence of transdisciplinary collaborations
We also see the conference's location in Toronto as an opportunity to encourage non-U.S. topics, transnational and comparative perspectives, and presentations focused on the Great Lakes and high-latitude regions.
