Environmental History Seminar - Programme 2012
All sessions are on Mondays, 16:00-18:30
The aims of this seminar are to help bring together British and
French researchers working on the same topics or problematics, and
to discuss recent research on environmental history. Therefore, the
principle is to invite a French and a British colleague to each
seminar, to present their own research and then discuss it.
