On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How can we teach environmental history most effectively? The field is both a longstanding and a somewhat marginal area in historiography. Despite its centrality to major intellectual shifts (such as the Annales), environmental history has arguably not achieved the importance it merits within the discipline more widely. That may be changing as students become more concerned by the accelerating climate crisis, and more mainstream history recognizes the interdependence of human life on other biosystems.
This discussion brings together a panel with a wide experience of teaching environmental history and the Anthropocene to discuss their experiences of assembling curricula, teaching environmental history, and developing new approaches to the topic to explore both the challenges and the possibilities of teaching environmental history and the Anthropocene.
