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.
ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius has generously partnered with Central European University to fund joint scholarships offered to high-achieving students who wish to pursue a one-year or two-year Master’s degree at CEU’s Department of History.
Admissions are open for Trinity's M.Phil in Environmental history!
This programme will give students a firm understanding of the interplay of, and feedbacks between, human societies and the non-human world over time, allowing them to develop much needed historical perspectives on current environmental challenges. The M.Phil offers an advanced qualification to graduates in relevant disciplines in the Humanities (History, Political Science, History of Ideas, Cultural Studies or similar) and the Natural Sciences (Environmental Sciences, Geography, Ecology, Biology or similar).

The International book project, “Environmental Histories of Finland” is looking for additional contributions
Changes in the environment have played a central role in Finland’s history and also made a profound impact on historical scholarship. Outstanding work has been produced at Finnish universities on the history of climate, landscape, water, air, urbanization, and technological networks, not only in relation to Finland’s history, but on a wide range of international and global topics.
