Madison’s engaged university community, political activism, and environmental traditions have all shaped Madison’s distinct character. Home Nancy Langston, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Chair to Frank Lloyd Wright, Aldo Leopold, John Muir, Gaylord Nelson, “Fighting Bob” La Follette, Lorine Niedecker, Sigurd Olson, and Frederick The Local Arrangements Committee hopes that you enjoy Madison as Gregg Mitman, University of Wisconsin-Madison Jackson Turner, among many others, Wisconsin is a particularly significant location for environmental historians. much as we do. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of Bill Cronon, University of Wisconsin-Madison Lawrence Culver, Chair of the Program Committee, and Lisa Mighetto, Andrew Case, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Frank Lloyd Wright bestowed Madison with a significant architectural legacy. During your stay in Madison, ASEH conference participants will whose attention to detail, unwavering service, and endless good graduate student representative have the opportunity to visit two Frank Lloyd Wright sites: the Monona Terrace and Taliesin. Most conference events take place in the Monona sense were essential in organizing this conference. Brian Hamilton, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Terrace Community and Convention Center, a site designed by Wright in 1938. Six decades passed between design and completion, and the graduate student representative site opened to the public in 1997 as a community center and convention center. A Friday field trip will take participants to Wright’s masterpiece Peter Boger, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Taliesin, located along the Wisconsin River. Taliesin was built in the early 1900’s on land originally settled by Wright’s mother’s family during the graduate student representative Civil War. Positioned on the brow of a hill, Wright designed Taliesin to appear “not on the land, but of the land”. Curt Meine, Aldo Leopold Foundation and the International Crane Foundation Wright’s concept of organic architecture is embodied throughout Taliesin. He sourced many of the construction materials from the surrounding land, and incorporated sand from the Wisconsin River into the stucco walls. The chimneys were built from local limestone, mimicking shapes found in the surrounding driftless landscape. Another vision of construction attuned to local landscapes and local sources can be seen on the Friday field trip to the USDA Forest Service’s Forest Products Lab, which has become an international leader in green building.

Aldo Leopold’s legacy is evident throughout Wisconsin, and conference participants will have several opportunities to engage with his work. The Arboretum field trip takes participants to a Civilian Conservation Corps site at the University of Wisconsin Arboretum, where crew members Welcome from the Program Committee worked from 1935 to 1941 to restore ecological communities that had flourished before European settlement. Aldo Leopold was involved in research at the Arboretum, which is now home to the oldest and most extensive restored prairie ecosystem in the world. While at the University The Program Committee is delighted to present the program for the 2012 meeting of the American Society for Environmental History, and of Wisconsin-Madison, Leopold and his family became deeply engaged with the struggle to restore an abandoned farm north of the city.

Together these comprise a multifaceted mosaic of environmental history and the state of our field in 2012.

44 45 CALL FOR PROPOSALS: CONFLUENCES, CROSSINGS, AND POWER

Deadline for submissions: June 15, 2012

The ASEH invites proposals for its 2013 conference that will convene 3-6 April in Toronto, Canada— North America’s fourth largest city and one of the fastest growing and most ethnically and linguistically diverse places on the continent. Toronto’s location, amid lakes and rivers, has long made it a site of confluences and crossings. An important aboriginal fishing site, a key portage during the fur trade, and now a “global city,” the Toronto region has at different moments been a nodal point for flows of fish, furs, peoples, and capital.

Environmental history challenges many familiar boundaries. Our theme, “Confluences, Crossings, and Power” calls attention to flows and boundary-crossings, while also highlighting the role of power in shaping movements and their direction. We seek papers and panel proposals that engage with this theme in many different guises: political borders and the flows across them; the interactions of water and land; the crossings of peoples, species, and cultures; movements of pollutants across landscapes and bodies; resource and commodity flows; urban-hinterland relationships; the flows and frictions that constitute “globalization”; the crossing of intellectual boundaries; and the emergence of transdisciplinary collaborations. We also see the conference’s location in Toronto as an opportunity to encourage non-US topics, transnational and comparative perspectives, and presentations focused on the Great Lakes and high-latitude regions.

Submission Guidelines

The program committee invites panel, roundtable, individual paper, and poster proposals for the conference on these and other topics. We aim to include sessions that cover the globe, all eras of history, and that engage with other important historical themes including race, gender, imperialism, and diaspora histories. We welcome teaching sessions, non-traditional formats, and sessions that encourage active audience participation. We encourage panels that include historians at different career stages and different types of institutions (academic and public) and that are gender and racially diverse. We strongly prefer to receive complete session proposals, although we will endeavor to construct sessions from proposals for individual presentations. To find possible presenters for your panel, consider posting an idea on H- Environment at least one month before the CFP deadline of June 15, 2012.

Sessions will be scheduled for 1.5 hours. Please note that it is ASEH policy to allow at least 30 minutes for discussion in every session. No single presentation should exceed 15 minutes, and each roundtable presentation should be less than ten minutes since roundtables are designed to maximize discussion. Commentators are allowed but not required. Please note that individuals can present or comment on only one panel, roundtable, or poster session in addition to chairing a second session.

All conference participants are expected to register for the annual meeting.

If you have any questions, please contact a member of the 2013 program committee:
