Welcome to the H-Environment network. Part of H-NET, the Humanities & Social Sciences Online initiative, H-Environment is supported by organizations of professional historians including the American Society for Environmental History and the European Society for Environmental History.
The American Society for Environmental History has decided to postpone our April 2021 conference in Boston because we are not confident that Covid-19 will allow us to hold a large, in-person meeting this coming spring.
Dear Colleagues,
I'm happy to announce a new edition of H-Environment Roundtable Reviews on Jennifer Thomson's The Wild and the Toxic: American Environmentalism and the Politics of Health.

Title: The Wild and the Toxic: American Environmentalism and the Politics of Health
H-Environment subscribers might be interested in a recent episode of the podcast series Barely Gettin' By: The Long 1990s, hosted by Australian historians Dr Emma Shortis and Dr Chloe Ward. The series aims to explore how the politics and culture of the 1990s set us up for today’s catastrophic failures, as well as what is and isn’t considered history.
Hagley Museum and Library and the Business History Conference are pleased to announce the 2020 winner of the Hagley Prize:
