The First Conference of East Asian Environmental History (EAEH2011)

The Association for East Asian Environmental History (AEAEH) and Academia Sinica welcome you to participate in the First Conference of East Asian Environmental History to be held at Academia Sinica on October 24-26, 2011, with October 27-28 for post conference activities. This conference aims at providing an opportunity for scholars to learn from each other and to identify important environmental issues with historical perspectives. Although the study of environmental history is closely related to local histories and situations, we need to explore and identify common factors that have been influential beyond local and national boundaries. The general theme of this first conference is:
Resource Utilizations and their Impacts.

Venue of the Conference:
Building for Humanities and Social Sciences, Academia Sinica
