World Congress of Environmental History July 2019: 1 Week to Deadline (October 1, 2018)
Dear All,
There are for sure good environmental reasons NOT to attend congresses. Travels=pollution, hotels=excessive water consumption, congress venue=boom of waste accumulation. There are also solid economic reasons NOT to attend congresses: they are often so expensive that the family budget just cannot afford one further academic travel of yours.
