ASEH 2018 Call for Participants: Urban Animals
We are seeking additional panelists for a session on urban animal history at the 2018 ASEH Conference in Riverside, CA. Panelists will speak briefly on some aspect of their research related to the subject by focusing on a particular animal or place in cities or suburbs to illuminate an aspect of urban environmental history. By discussing their work in such a way, we hope panelists can use specific species or locations to speak to larger themes in environmental history more generally.
