Smiley, Ontario, and Upland pub- lic libraries. Supported by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), this project is delivering an online database of thousands of preserved primary sources and other docu- ments on the development, management, and exploitation of Southern California and western U.S. water resources. Because these resources will serve scholars interested in how California and the West have managed their water resourc- es in the past, we are particularly excited to give ASEH members a sneak preview of and hands- on training in the digitizing of these invaluable archives. The second half of the workshop will shift from the academic to the applied: we will visit the Chino Basin Water Conservation District to learn about its exciting groundwater sustain- ability initiatives. Includes lunch. See conference website for full agenda and details.

62 ASEH Call for Proposals – 2019 Conference in Columbus, Ohio

ASEH invites proposals for its conference that will convene April 10-13, 2019 in Columbus, Ohio. Home to a million people and the Ohio State University, Columbus has also become the retail test market of America and the headquarters of major brands in food and fashion, bringing rapid residential and economic expansion. The once empty downtown is alive with new condos, shops, restaurants, and one of the country’s best craft brewery scenes. But as Columbus pursues sustainable urban growth in the twenty-first century, it confronts a toxic twentieth-century legacy of car-centric sprawling development, white flight, and near destruction of city-center neighborhoods.

Environmental history can bring perspective to the challenges that Columbus, and many other places around the world, now face. With the theme “Using Environmental History: Rewards and Risks,” the program committee invites discussion on the role of environmental history in policy, business, and science. The complexity of using environmental history brings with it paradoxes, and challenges us as historians—as we consider applications of our craft and real-world consequences of the stories that we tell. How can or should environmental history contribute to current or future decision-making, or to other disciplines? What are the dangers in drawing lessons or data from the past? What are the potentials rewards and risks for the field of environmental history if it seeks to address or inform critical issues rather than writing history for history’s sake? Submission Guidelines The Program Committee seeks submissions that contribute to the discussion on the theme of Using Environmental History: Rewards and Risks and welcomes teaching sessions, non-traditional formats, and sessions that encourage active audience participation. It encourages panels that include historians at different career stages and different types of institutions (academic and public) and that are diverse in gender, race, and nationality. Conference sessions are set at 90 minutes in length, including the requisite 30 minutes for discussion. We strongly prefer to receive complete session proposals, although we will endeavor to construct sessions from proposals for individual presentations. Submission proposal types include: • Complete Panels (including four presenters and a session chair or three presenters, a commentator, and a session chair) • Roundtables (presentations should be limited to 10 minutes per person to maximize audience participation) • Experimental Sessions (this category is open, but such sessions should involve at least four participants. Sessions must still allow 30 minutes for discussion) • Individual Papers (accepted papers will be placed in panels; presentations are limited to 15 minutes) • Individual Lightning Presentations (each presenter gets 5 minutes and up to 10 slides) • Posters (those presenting posters will be expected to participate in the poster session at the conference) Please note that individuals can be a primary presenter in only one panel, roundtable, or other session proposal, but can also serve as chair or commentator in a second session proposal. ASEH remains committed to inclusivity with regard to race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, and physical abilities both in terms of participation and topics discussed at our conferences.

Proposals may be submitted electronically beginning March 31, 2018. For more information and the link to the submission site, visit the ASEH website at aseh.net and click on “conference and workshops.” Deadline for Submissions: July 13, 2018.

75 Call for Papers Environmental History World Congress 2019

The International Consortium of Environmental History Organizations (ICEHO) invites proposals for the 3rd World Congress of Environmental History, to be held in 22-26 July 2019 in Florianópolis, Brasil.

Convergences: The Global South and the Global North in the Era of Great Acceleration Host: The Federal University of Santa Catarina (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, UFSC)

The 3rd World Conference of Environmental History invites scholars from different disciplines to situate environmental history in a planetary perspective. The categories “Global South” and “Global North” are historically-charged, created in the 20th century. They point to the diversity and the inequality of past and present human societies, and how they have transformed their landscapes, exploited natural resources, and connected with each other. The challenges posed by these connections and the dynamics of human and non-human communities have gained urgency in what has been called the Era of Great Acceleration. From their historical studies of rivers, cities, mountains, forests and plantations, to world transmigration narratives for plants, animals, diseases, people and commodities, historians and other environmental humanities scholars add to the debate on how to address the environmental challenges of the 21st century. The program committee seeks to further discussions that cross disciplinary or conceptual divides in new ways. We especially invite proposals that span gender, generational, and geographic differences among presenters as well as topics.

Submission Guidelines

The program committee invites panel, roundtable, individual paper, and poster proposals for the congress. We prefer to receive complete session proposals but will endeavor to construct sessions from proposals for individual presentations. Sessions will be scheduled for 1.5 hours. No single presentation should exceed 15 minutes, and each roundtable presentation should be significantly shorter than that, as roundtables are designed to maximize discussion among the speakers and with the audience. Commentators are allowed but not required.

The program committee encourages non-conventional sessions that experiment with creative formats, such as hands-on workshops, tool demonstrations, and open discussion forums. To submit a proposal for an experimental session, please provide a 300-word abstract describing the activity.

To maximize participation, we encourage session proposals with more participants giving shorter presentations (e.g., four presenters at 12 minutes each). Please note that individuals can be a primary presenter in only one panel, roundtable, or other session proposal, but can also serve as chair or commentator in a second session proposal.

A limited number of travel bursaries will be available for students and junior scholars.

To learn more about the conference and to submit proposals, see: http://3wceh2019.floripa.br

Deadline for submissions: 10 September 2018

All presenters and other participants are expected to register for the annual meeting. Membership in ICEHO is not required. If you have any questions, please contact: [email protected]. Join us in beautiful Florianópolis!
