Dialogue on Environmental History in BRICS Nations
News from The ICEHO (20 SEP 2014 )
As Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (the BRICS nations) expand their economies, their physical environments are increasingly being stressed, with significant implications for their citizens. The purpose of this workshop held in August 2014 was to explore these dynamics with a historical perspective. History is a badly neglected field in academic literatures on BRICS, which are largely dominated by economists. The participants are all leading environmental historians and academics who work respectively on each of the BRICS countries.
The proceedings are available for viewing online (see the program for specific talks in each time slot):
