Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that we are now accepting abstracts for this year’s Literary and Visual Landscapes symposium which will be held on Wednesday 9th June 2021 on the theme of (Re)imagined Landscapes.
CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA)
Special Issue: Rupture and Response
I teach a 2nd year survey course on combined US-Canadian environmental history and need a short text on US environmental history to assign in league with Forkey, Canadian's and the Natural Environment and, just recently added, Dina Gilio-Whitaker's As Long as the Grass Grows.
To this point I have been using Steinberg's Down to Earth but really cannot any longer since it makes the reading load for the course too heavy if it is assigned along with those other two books plus various articles I have the students read.
