Environmental Exchanges is the Centre for Environmental History’s regular seminar series. Launching in February 2022, Environmental Exchanges is an opportunity to showcase and discuss innovative new research that engages with key themes in environmental history.

 

Each year’s seminar program is organised around a single broad theme. The theme for our 2023 seminars is Climate. Each seminar will engage with this theme in distinct ways, and we aim to reflect the diversity of times, places, methods, and perspectives that historians explore in their work on climate, broadly conceived. 

 

These seminars are open to all and are held in hybrid format, with attendees either gathering in-person in the RSSS Building at the ANU's Acton campus or joining remotely via Zoom. To receive the room location or Zoom link for a specific seminar, follow the registration link on that seminar's event page.  

 

We welcome enquiries related to attending or presenting at seminars in the Environmental Exchanges series. Please contact Jessica Urwin for further information. 

 

To be notified of upcoming seminars in this series, you can register for the Centre for Environmental History's mailing list. The Centre's mailing list goes out approximately once a month and includes details of upcoming seminars and workshops, new publications, and relevant opportunities and calls for papers.
