A partnership of the Research Centre for Deep History and the Centre for Environmental History, ANU
Deep conversations: history, environment, science series was a partnership of the ANU's Research Centre for Deep History and Centre for Environmental History. Held from 2020 to 2022, this seminar series aimed to bring together scholars from diverse disciplines to discuss questions of history, science and the environment, and how they shed light on the global challenges we face today. Recordings of several seminars in the Deep Conversations series are available via the playlist below. We intend to continue organising seminars with a similar format in the future, so register for the Centre for Environmental History's mailing list to be notified of upcoming events.
