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.
New Books in Environmental Studies (https://newbooksnetwork.com/category/environmental-studies/) is currently seeking hosts interested in conducting interviews with authors of new books on the environment and environmental history. Hosting the channel is a good way to bring the work of environmental scholars to the attention of large audiences.
On April 26-27, Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, will be hosting the Southern Forum on Agricultural, Rural, and Environmental History (SFARE).
