I have just advertised two postdocs (two year position) and one PhD fellow (three year position) in environmental history on my new envirotech project “Histories of animals, technological infrastructure, and making more-than-human homes in the modern age” (AtHome), which is funded by the Research Council of Norway and hosted at the University of Stavanger, Norway.The two postdoctoral fellows are tied to a work package on city birds. One postdoc will focus on technologies and infrastructures that invite animals to be close to people, such as birdhouses and birdfeeders. The other postdoc will focus on technologies and infrastructures intended to keep animals out, such as building spikes, nets and predator kites. While birds must be a central component of the project, the postdoc can choose to include other urban animals as well. There is no geographical restriction. The project can focus on any history within the modern age (from 1800 to today), but note that it must be a historical project. In the project proposal, the candidate should indicate which subproject (inviting in or excluding) they are interested in; it is possible to indicate an interest in both.The PhD Fellow will be part of the work package on artificial reefs as a technological infrastructure that animals use as homes. The PhD Fellow will identify and analyse debates about artificial reefs made of various materials such as concrete, tires, and subway cars in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In the project proposal (maximum 3 pages), the candidate should outline how the project will be undertaken, with a focus on the geographical area, time period, actors, artificial reef type(s), archives, and other source material that might be used in the PhD thesis.The deadline for application is November 28, 2021. The anticipated start date for the positions is April 1, 2022 (although this can be negotiated for later in 2022 if necessary).Please pass on these job ads to any relevant candidates in your networks.All the best,Dolly JørgensenProfessor of HistoryUniversity of StavangerNorwayTwitter @DollyJorgensen

“Crises sanitaires et contestation dans le monde ibéro-américain”
*Congrès exclusivement en présentiel
La crise sanitaire résultant de l’épidémie de Covid-19 a modifié, et modifie encore, de manière irréversible, les relations sociales, économiques et culturelles à l’échelle mondiale, faisant de cette crise un événement hors du commun dans l’histoire récente de l’humanité. La covid-19 montre ostensiblement les inégalités sociales, un phénomène qui, en Amérique latine, acquiert un caractère particulier en raison de sa structure socio-économique : le grand nombre d’emplois irréguliers, les difficultés d’accès à la santé, la densification des espaces urbains, etc. Si les maladies contagieuses et infectieuses sont indéniablement un problème ancien, l’épidémie de coronavirus a plongé le monde dans une crise sanitaire sans précédent, intensifiée par les caractéristiques de nos sociétés connectées tant géographiquement qu’en termes de communication.
Certaines conséquences de cette crise sont encore imprévisibles, et ont à ce jour affecté différents aspects sociaux tels que le tourisme, l’éducation, les pratiques culturelles ou les modes de travail. Des experts, des politiciens et des profanes discutent publiquement sur les causes, le développement et les conséquences de l’épidémie, générant des discours sur ce que l’on entend par pandémie, crise, épidémie, etc. Dans la perspective de diverses disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales, nous voulons interroger les effets sociaux de la pandémie dans le monde ibéro-américain afin de mettre en perspective le contexte, les causes, les synergies et les conséquences des crises sanitaires en général et en particulier celle du COVID 19.
L’émergence et la légitimation de l’État moderne et ses capacités coercitives, encadrent cette réflexion, qui vise également à se projeter dans un passé plus récent (sida, syphilis, grippe espagnole…), sans exclure les premières années de la mise en place de l’État-nation (Motín de Esquilache), qui instaurent, à la suite de Foucault, le régime biopolitique caractéristique de la contemporanéité.
Nous nous demanderons donc quelles sont les réponses collectives aux réajustements du contrôle social imposées par la pandémie et de quelle manière elles sont attribuées à des responsables politiques (dans le cas de l’ultra-droite espagnole ou de la mobilisation pour une nouvelle constitution au Chili), économiques (flux et reflux de la soi-disant “tourismophobie”) ou culturels (potentiel subversif du théâtre confiné ou expansion des catalogues de Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon prime, Apple TV ou Movistar).
En résumé, nous proposons une réflexion sur les changements socio-économiques provoqués ou découlant de cette crise sanitaire et d’autres crises, ainsi que sur la portée de la création culturelle lorsqu’il s’agit de répondre, d’intégrer ou de modifier le discours médico-politique des instances gouvernementales en Amérique latine, en Espagne et au Portugal.
Axes thématiques (non exhaustives)
Covid 19 et contrôle : Comment les citoyens assument-ils les restrictions de liberté lors de ces crises ? Comment se modifie le rapport entre l’État et le corps individuel ? Comment s’intériorise la reconfiguration des techniques de contrôle du corps ?
Covid 19 et mobilité : Comment la pandémie affecte-t-elle les industries de la mobilité : tourisme, transport de personnes et de marchandises, etc. Comment les États d’Amérique latine, dans lesquels ces industries ont un grand poids économique, ont-ils réagi aux limitations de la circulation ?
Covid 19 et démocraties : Comment les démocraties font-elles face à la crise ? Quelles sont les conséquences sur la vie quotidienne : restriction des libertés individuelles, états de surveillance permanente, contrôle médical, etc. ?
La crise de la Covid 19 et les autres crises sanitaires : Cette crise est-elle sans précédent dans son fonctionnement social et culturel ? On pourrait voir par exemple d’autres contextes de crises sanitaires : la grippe aviaire, la grippe espagnole, etc.
Crise de la Covid 19, médias et outils numériques : Comme d’habitude dans ce type de crise, des discours basés sur une série de métaphores sur la guerre sont mobilisés, qui amplifient la panique dans la population et pointent la responsabilité individuelle d’une crise sanitaire collective. Dans ce cadre, il semble nécessaire de se demander comment la crise sanitaire a été exposée par les médias numériques presse digitale et par la presse traditionnelle. Comment la désinformation sur la pandémie a circulé sur les réseaux sociaux et comment cela a-t-il affecté la compréhension de la crise ?
Le colloque se tiendra à l’Université de Lille (Maison de la Recherche – Pont de Bois) du jeudi 22 au samedi 24 septembre 2022.
Les propositions de communications (titre, résumé de 500 mots environ, 3-5 mot clés et une courte bibliographie), accompagnées d’une brève notice biographique, seront à envoyer pour le 20 décembre 2020 à l’adresse suivante : health.crisis.counteractions@gmail.com
Langues acceptées : le français, l’anglais, l’espagnol, le catalan et le portugais.

Dear colleagues,
The Next Generation Action Team of the European Society for Environmental History is delighted to spread the world about its activities and invite you all to take part in them.
As you may know, NEXTGATe’s mission is to strengthen the presence and influence of next generation scholars on the environmental history field in Europe and beyond and to offer a space for discussion and collaboration among junior scholars, but not only.
Attached you will find details about two of our initiatives and how to contact and join us.
1. Call for Dissertation Abstracts
Have you recently submitted your PhD thesis or passed your viva? Consider to have your research included in the ESEH dissertation database, an online platform accessible through the ESEH website. Besides increasing the visi bility of your research, the database aims to encourage collaborations within the environmental history community.
Do you know colleagues who have just defended their dissertation or passed their PhD viva? Inform them about this call!
In relation to the dissertation database, we are happy to advertise the call for the 2021 Tallinn Dissertation Prize in European Environmental History. This prize aims to support early career environmental history scholars in Europe and those based outside Europe but whose work contributes to European environmental history. Check the call out at this link: http://eseh.org/tallinn-dissertation-prize-call-for-submissions/
2. Writing Support Programme 2020-2021
Are you an early career scholar who is finalising a paper or a chapter and you would like to discuss it before submission? Are you a senior scholar who is willing to act as discussant or facilitator? Consider to join the group!
This mentorship programme aims to provide early career scholars with a supportive setting for obtaining focused, hands-on peer feedback on their work. The peer feedback and group discussion push the writing process forward, boost output and, finally yet importantly, strengthen the community of European environmental historians.
Attached you find the open calls.
We would really appreciate if you could circulate these calls through your network.
Thank you for your attention and feel free to contact us in case you may need additional information.
All the best and hope to hear from you!
ESEH NEXTGATers
Dear colleagues and friends,
this is a warm invitation to submit a proposal for the European Society for Environmental History Conference in 2021. The proposals can be both in-person or virtual (due to the uncertainty of the pandemic situation). We are really looking for a conference that brings the ESEH in conversation with other disciplines and with the challenges of the present socio-ecological crisis. As we have written in our call:
We embrace history that matters and our discipline’s ability to create ‘useable pasts’ for unusual times. This conference moves from the premise of an entangled world: first and foremost enmeshed in a global pandemic, a shared ecological crisis and climate catastrophe, as well as cultural connections from past colonial and postcolonial histories.
I invite you to participate in our effort to think together about: Same planet, different worlds: environmental histories imagining anew
I would also much appreciate if you can help to spread the call in your networks.
Deadline by October 31, 2020.
All the best, Marco

CfP: 11th Biennial European Society for Environmental History (ESEH) Conference Same planet, different worlds: environmental histories imagining a new; Bristol, United Kingdom | 5th-9th July 2021
Digital Dimensions We acknowledge the uncertainty of our times and the sustainability issues relating to international conferences. The ESEH believes in the value of a physical conference. Post-COVID, being in place together will hold new significance. But we also recognise that it may not prove possible – or desirable for some – to meet face-to-face. Our conference will therefore offer some online possibilities for those delegates who cannot make it in person, including keynote and plenary livestreams, poster sessions, and opportunities to connect with each other online. Planning a large international conference in these COVID-19 times is a difficult business. While acknowledging our gratitude to the Local Arrangement Committee in Bristol as they on the uncertainties of this situation, the ESEH is also making preparations for a fully digital conference in case major disruptions in international travelling will impede the materialization of the in-person conference. An Inclusive and Diverse Conference Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of ESEH. We recognise the unique contributions of every member of our society and seek ways of ensuring that people of all identities and in all circumstances can contribute to our biennial conference and to the wider life of our society. We strive to promote equality and diversity at our conference, in relation to conference participation, and the composition of topics comprising the conference program. We also endeavour to create a platform to encourage active and sustained debate on issues of marginalisation and accessibility amongst our members.We want to create a set of inclusive conference practices and ‘resist the normality’ of hierarchies and silos. In this different world, new conference practices are available to us. We will consider all historical periods, all geographical areas and all disciplines. To bolster diversity at the event and promote new forms of networking, we are hoping for panels/interventions where the presenters come from different regions, generations, genders, different institutions or different disciplines. We also encourage demographic balance and the use of emergent scholars as facilitators/session chairs. Graduate students will be offered a special reduced fee. Conventional Discussions We are looking for session suggestions, individual papers, roundtables, posters and other, more experimental sessions. Of course, panels and roundtables are indispensable and constitute much of the conference, but we need new modes of conversation. So we encourage submissions that introduce a productive conflict of views, interpretations, or methodologies:1. Panel sessions Sessions are 3 papers of 20 minutes each or 4 papers of 15 minutes each. Other formats (debate panels, roundtables) should be submitted under the Roundtable or ‘Different World’ session categories. Session proposals will include a session title and session abstract of 200-300 words; list of contributors and a chair; and individual paper titles and abstracts of around 200 words each. Session proposals may also include a commentator/discussant in place of the fourth paper – or not. Please remember, 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, the scientific committee prefers session submissions, and cannot guarantee thematic coherence for the combined sessions. Paper proposals are to consist of an abstract of 200-300 words.3. Roundtables Scholars can also propose 90-minute roundtables, consisting of panels ranging from 3-6 people and a chair who speak to a common question or theme. Successful roundtables involve interaction between the panelists, an active chair who shaping the conversation, and time for the audience to interact with the panel. Roundtable proposals are to consist of an abstract of 200-300 words.4. Posters and Virtual PostersPoster proposals will include an abstract of 200-300 words. There will be a designated display area, and a special plenary session for all poster authors to present their research in 5 minutes time per poster. The Environment & History Poster Prize sponsored by The White Horse Press is awarded to the best poster (€100 award) and the 2nd place poster (€50 award). We will also permit short videos in lieu of posters, to enable digital dissemination of research For ideas on presentation see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RwJbhkCA58“ Different World” Sessions In the spirit of rethinking the conventional, we welcome proposals for unorthodox sessions with creative formats. To submit a proposal for a special session, please provide a 200 word abstract, describing the activity, including any special logistics you might need. Ideas include: – Workshops and new research tool demonstrationsTeach others your skills at GIS, writing, offer mentorship or field-work tips. – “Difficult conversations”Presenters address sensitive issues within environmental history within a safe space. We use what we call Chatham House Rule 2.0: The discussion is not tweeted and remains within the confines of the room. – “Flipping the panels”Papers will be made available in advance as draft papers or even short video presentations. Rather than just summarize their paper, presenters come to the panel with questions they need answered to improve their research. Instead of just listening to presentations, audience members come with their own questions/suggestions. The panels become conversations between presenters and the audience in collaborative research efforts. This is also an inclusive way of extending the peer-review process. – History CafesA facilitator provides a question on a pre-determined topic or proposes a problem that needs solving. The group divides into smaller groups, discusses, and submits feedback for the larger group at the end. Conversation and participation are the key processes and collaborative projects are stimulated.– PechaKucha presentations.In this rapid “chit chat” format invented in Tokyo, speakers show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and speakers talk along with the images. It is like an “elevator pitch meets karaoke!” – Soundclash debatesWe import this idea from the music industry too. Soundclashes normally occur when two different bands or djs play against each other on either side of the stage. The conference encourages intellectual frisson by debating opposing points of view over contentious issues (methodology, theory, historiographical model) in environmental history. – Book loungeWe encourage authors to offer a reading from their recent book. Also welcome are shared discussions of a single book, major paper, movie or even primary source is the subject on which other presenters are focused. – The Historian in the MirrorReflective roundtables that examine our own academic practices, activism and ourselves.SubmissionEach person can be a primary presenter in only one session proposal, but can also serve as a chair/commentator in a second session proposal. The conference language is English; no submissions in other languages will be accepted. All proposals will be reviewed by the ESEH Program Committee. All proposals should be submitted through our online submission system: https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/2027/submitter The submission deadline is 31st October 2020. Those who have secured a place on the programme will be advised of this by the end of the calendar year. They will be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit of 50 Euros (which will be subtracted from the overall conference registration fee) by mid-February 2021 to secure their place on the programme. In light of the financial damage that can be wrought on scholarly societies in these unprecedented global circumstances, we hope that you understand why we need to ask for this. Questions about proposals should be directed to the Programme Committee, Professor Sandra Swart, through the email conference@eseh.org.
