Roundtable Session CFP, ASEH 2018: "Social, Political, and Economic Theory as Policy 'Relevance-Makers' for Environmental History"
I writing to see whether anyone else is planning to submit a paper or panel on climate history for the ASEH 2018. With some colleagues, I have assembled enough papers for at least one panel. It would be great to find more participants in order to create two or more panels, organized by region, period, or theme. Please contact me if you are interested.
Thank you,
