ICTA-UAB to host an Interdisciplinary Workshop on Drought and Adaptation in the Mediterranean during the Little Ice Age (1300 – 1850 AD)

WATERMARKS – Interdisciplinary Workshop on Drought and Adaptation in the Mediterranean during the Little Ice Age (1300 – 1850 AD) 

Understanding how societies of the past struggled to adapt to climate variability is critically needed to advance research about climate change adaptation today (Adamson et al. 2018). During the historical period known as the Little Ice Age not only average temperatures decreased but extreme weather events became more frequent (White 2014; White 2011; Oliva et al. 2018). This period constitutes an excellent opportunity for the joint work of researchers from the human and natural sciences interested in adaptation. In the Mediterranean, periods of drought marked how communities experienced the Little Ice Age. Recent research has shown how local communities combined different strategies to cope with drought, including infrastructural, institutional and symbolic responses which changed throughout time (Grau-Satorras et al. 2016; Grau-Satorras et al. 2018). 

At the crossroads between historical climatology and environmental history, the aim of this workshop is to further our understanding of the complex human impacts of climate variability in the Mediterranean during the Little Ice Age, with special attention to adaptation to the study of drought. Building on the studies of drought reconstruction in Spain following rogation ceremonies (Barriendos 1997; Domínguez-Castro et al. 2012) and attending to the current state of the art on the study of past droughts with documentary data (Brázdil et al. 2018), the ambition of this workshop is to foster interdisciplinary communication. Transdisciplinary contributions that combine the work of historians, natural scientists and archaeologists (Izdebski et al. 2016) or researchers from other disciplines will be especially welcomed. The workshop will include three keynotes: Andrea Kiss (Vienna University of Technology), Mariano Barriendos (University of Barcelona) and Mar Grau Satorras (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya). John McNeill (Georgetown University) will act as discussant. Aiming at the publication of some of the contributions received, we call for both methodologically sound and nuanced transdisciplinary historical works from a wide range of disciplines that engage with the following topics in the Mediterranean region:

1. Methodological approaches towards establishing instruments for classification that bring together historical records that can be used as proxy for climate reconstruction, with particular attention to drought, rainfall and temperature;   2. Long-term transdisciplinary studies that integrate multi-proxy analyses of historical climate change;
  3. In-depth studies of specific severe hydro-climatic episodes during the LIA in the Mediterranean, particularly drought and floods, with attention to the responses developed by local societies to cope with the consequences of such events and prevent future episodes;

4. Human dimensions of historical climate change during the Little Ice Age;

5. Community and institutional adaptation to drought, strategies to cope with disturbances and climate variability;

6. Watering the city: engineering, building and maintaining urban water supply infrastructure in the face of ice and drought;

7. Irrigation schemes: infrastructural projects for agricultural irrigation in the Mediterranean;

8. War and water: in-depth analyses of military campaigns conditioned by drought.


Interested participants should send their abstracts (300 words) and a short biography (100 words) with contact details to the workshop organiser Dr. Santiago Gorostiza (Santiago.Gorostiza@uab.cat) by 14 June, 2019. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 1 July 2019. We ask participants to circulate a complete draft of their paper one month before workshop. 

The organisation of this workshop has received financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, through the “María de Maeztu” program for Units of Excellence (MDM-2015-0552).

ESEH 2017 Conference: Call for Papers

2017 Conference: Call for Papers

We encourage proposals that explore the general theme from various environmental history perspectives, such as:

  • Environment in areas of contact among states, economic systems, cultures and religions
  • Environmental history of post-socialist countries of Eastern Europe
  • Environment shared among cultures: spatial and temporal dimension
  • Environmental history of borders and borderland areas
  • Environmental history of the Mediterranean
  • Urban environmental history
  • Forest history
  • Industrial and post-industrial environmental history
  • Production, consumption and waste: commodity chains in environmental history
  • Cultural values and economic interests: retrospective environmental analyses
  • Theories and methods in environmental history

The conference covers all periods and all areas of the globe. In keeping with a cherished tradition of the field, the conference is open to scholars from all disciplines and backgrounds. We especially encourage submissions from graduate students who will be offered a special reduced fee. The conference language is English; no submissions in other languages will be accepted. All proposals will be reviewed by a scientific committee.

All proposals should be submitted through our online submission system. The online submission system will open in July 2016. The deadline for submittals is 1 October 2016.

Questions about proposals should be directed to the Programme Committee chair through the email conference@eseh.org.

*Note—due to a limited number of sessions, individual scholars can only submit in one category (paper, roundtable, or poster) though individuals can appear as chair (not commenter) of a second session. This is to ensure diversity and breadth of participation.

Proposals will be accepted in the following categories:

1. Sessions

Sessions will usually consist of three to five papers, not more than 20 minutes each. Other formats (debate panels, roundtables) are possible, but please note that all sessions will need to conclude after 120 minutes. Session proposals should include a session title, list of contributors and a chair, and individual paper titles; a session abstract of 200-300 words; three individual paper abstracts of 200-300 words. Session proposal may also include a commentator/discussant. Nevertheless, all sessions should include sufficient time for general discussion.

2. Individual papers

Contributors may also submit individual papers of max. 20 minutes, which will be combined into sessions of three to four papers in case of acceptance. However, scholars should take note that the scientific committee has a certain preference for session submissions, and that it cannot guarantee thematic coherence for the resulting sessions. Paper proposals are to consist of an abstract of 200-300 words.

3. Roundtables

Scholars can also propose 90-minute roundtables, which differ in form and goal from regular paper sessions. Roundtables are panels ranging from 3-6 people and a chair who speak to a common question or theme. Successful roundtables involve interaction between the panelists, the active involvement of the chair in shaping the conversation, and ample time for the audience to interact with the panel and pose questions

4. Posters

Poster proposals will include an abstract of 200-300 words and a one-page CV. Poster session will have a designated area for display, but a special time and venue will be given to all authors of posters to present their research in 2 minutes time per poster.

5. Experimental sessions

We welcome proposals for non-conventional sessions through which proponents wish to experimentwith creative formats. To submit a proposal for an experimental session, please provide a 300-400 word abstract, describing in details the activity. Please include in the proposal any special logistic request you might need.

In addition, conference participants are invited to submit items in two other categories: photographs and movies.

Photographs

An exhibition of photographs taken by ESEH 2017 participants will be held during the conference. All participants are invited to send max. two of their photographs in digital format (max size 10 Mb, approximately 300 dpi) encapsulating one of the main themes of the conference listed in the conference statement session. A short description of each photograph (up to 100 words) should be provided also. The organizing committee will carefully select the best photographs and a special venue will be provided for the exhibition. Please send your photos to eseh2017photo@gmail.com

Movies

All participants are invited to suggest a movie title (a documentary, a short feature, a regular TV movie, an interesting YouTube clip etc.) dealing with one or more topics of the conference, a movie they believe could be interesting to other participants and the wider audience. After selecting several titles, the organizers will contact its distributors and try to organize a “Green Movie Soirée” during the conference where a selection of movies will be displayed. We encourage film-makers to propose their movies for this event. Send suggestions to eseh2017photo@gmail.com.

International Conference on Environmental History about climate conditions… Lisboa, 5th May 2012

Responses to climate and weather conditions throughout History

5th May 2012

Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas,

Universidade Nova de Lisboa

 

Aiming to go beyond concerns with recent and forthcoming changes in climate conditions which have dominate research in environmental studies, but without excluding them, this conference adopts a long term perspective on living beings adjustment to nature.  Although framed by Environmental History the conference also assumes an holistic vision, establishing a dialogue with other fields of knowledge not only within the Humanities, but also the natural sciences, as Ecology and Biogeography.

Within this interdisciplinary approach, participants will reflect upon responses to weather and climate, as well as upon their consequences over ecological, economic, social and cultural contexts.

The program is organized around four topics: Erosion and population; Imagined landscapes; Space and climate; Human responses to weather – building and praying.

The closing conference addresses the responses to climate change in the XXI century.

Recientemente, la asociación canadiense NICHE realizó el Congreso Virtual Place and Placelessness (A virtual environmental history Workshop for graduate students). Este taller utilizó la plataforma de Skype para comunicar resultados de investigaciones en curso de historia ambiental. La dificultad de costearse viajes e inscripciones, las desiguales condiciones sociales de investigación, la enorme cantidad de recursos que Internet pone a nuestra disposición y la necesidad de concebir formas más sostenibles de comunicación científica se convirtieron en el leitmotiv de esta experiencia. Estos mismos motivos nos llevan a impulsar una actividad virtual dentro del marco del VI Simposio de SOLCHA en 2012.
La metodología de la mesa-taller consistiría en utilizar como medio de comunicación las herramientas que empresas como Spype o Google ponen a nuestra disposición. Respecto a los contenidos a tratar, los organizadores sugerimos a la organización la posibilidad de realizar dos sesiones sucesivas, una destinada a temas variados de investigaciones en curso y una sobre la reflexión en torno al fenómeno mismo:

Procedimiento de las sesiones de la mesa-taller:

La mesa-taller se desarrollará de forma paralela a las sesiones del simposio de forma virtual y sin coste alguno a lo largo de un día como máximo.
La organización fijará la fecha adecuada, pudiendo desarrollarse una semana antes del simposio físico y real o durante la celebración del mismo. De manera que todos los asistentes que lo deseen puedan escuchar las comunicaciones. Si la localidad del congreso no dispone de medios técnicos necesarios para que esto sea posible, la mesa taller podrá desarrollarse antes del simposio.
Las comunicaciones y los recursos virtuales asociados se alojarán en un blog creado al efecto y en la página oficial. Estas comunicaciones estarán accesibles a todas y todos los participantes del simposio.
Las conclusiones se enviarán a los organizadores del simposio en el plazo de una semana tras la finalización del mismo para que las puedan incluirse en la página web, en las conclusiones del simposio o en eventuales publicaciones.
La presentación de comunicaciones, debido a la gratuidad de este evento piloto, no conlleva diploma de participación. Sin embargo, animamos a participar en este taller debido a que se trata de una forma nueva y muy rica de hacer ciencia.

Requisitos de los participantes:
– Disponer de una conexión de Internet estable.
– Disponer de auriculares y micrófono.
– Estar conectado de acuerdo con el huso horario correspondiente.
– Enviar los contenidos de su comunicación en formatos lo más sencillos posibles y capaces de ser colgados en Internet antes del 1 de mayo de 2012.

Interesados e interesadas por favor enviar perfil profesional (hasta 2.500 caracteres) y resumen de la ponencia (500-700 palabras o 3.500 caracteres) en español, inglés o portugués, a Julián Osorio (niguatero@gmail.com) y a Pablo Corral (pablo.hist@gmail.com) a más tardar el 11 de diciembre de 2011.

Environmental history in lusophone countries (March 2012)

I am putting together a workshop on Environmental History in
Lusophone countries (Portugal, Brasil, Mozambique, Angola, Guiné
Bissau, Timor Leste, São Tomé and Príncipe), to be held in Coimbra
(PT) in the last week of  March 2012, hopefully with support from the
Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. I would appreciate
any suggestions on possible  speakers and/or prospective participants.
Graduate students in  advanced stages of their dissertations are
particularly welcome. The  workshop will be in Portuguese and English,
and we plan to publish the proceedings shortly after. Anyone
interested in participating, or willing to help, may contact me at:
sbarca@ces.uc.pt

Thanks!
