Environment Forum
History & Policy's new Environment Forum aims to bring scholars, policy makers and civil society practitioners together to better understand and discuss environmental history and its implications for current policy concerns.
Environmental historians are welcome to join the forum, which intends to cover a range of research areas, periods and policy issues, encompassing land use and management, climate change, biodiversity and conservation, the rise of the global environmental movement, notions of expertise and public perceptions of and responses to environmental issues.
A particular focus is the relationship between the environmental sciences and environmental policy, especially the status of predictions, and their implications for our perception of the environment and environmental problems.
The forum is directed by Dr Paul Warde, Reader in Early Modern History at the University of East Anglia and a senior editor at H&P.
