Note from the Program Committee
The American Society for Environmental History and Forest History Society Program Committee is pleased to welcome you to St. Paul, and to present "Rivers Run Through Them: Landscapes in Environmental History." Last winter we issued a call for papers and posters investigating not only landscapes in environmental history, but also the role of water in defining those landscapes. We were honored and impressed by the wealth of proposals, diverse, creative, and strikingly international. After all, if you follow a river long enough, you will come to a confluence. This conference will be a true intellectual confluence. Scholars will present work on landscapes from Africa to Israel to Florida to Australia, and rivers from the Amazon to the Elwha to the Hudson to the Mississippi. This work will be presented by historians, anthropologists, literary scholars, political scientists, geographers, city planners, and ecologists Forest historians will travel from Southeast Asia to Finland to Maine to Michigan. In other sessions we will visit L.A.'s beaches, Ted Turner's ranches, Canada's uranium mines, and Korea's DMZ. Overall, the conference offers 80 panels and over 20 posters. The plenary session on environmental journalism will bring together three Pulitzer Prize winners, including Mark Schleifstein of New Orleans Times-Picayune. Writer Scott Russell Sanders will offer the keynote address, entitled, "Defining and Defending the Common Wealth." Other events will include a range of tours and breakfasts to offer participants both a broader view of the local landscape, as well as further opportunity to interact with colleagues from all over the world.
