Call for Papers and Panels
The Seventh Conference of East Asian Environmental History will be held at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Daejeon, South Korea, from June 28 to July 2 in 2023. On behalf of the Association for East Asian Environmental History and the Center for Anthropocene Studies at KAIST, we are pleased to invite you to the EAEH 2023 Conference. The Program Committee seeks organized panels and individual papers on the conference theme: Multiple Crises and the Asian Anthropocene: Climatic, Ecological, and (Post)Colonial Perspectives.The long-term climate change, the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the increased fighting in Ukraine and global economic recession have put the lives of humans and nonhumans under existential threat. The conditions of life on earth have been severely compromised due to the multiple crises, a large part of which was caused by humanity. The recent diagnosis of the Anthropocene confirms that humanity has become the earth-changing force. Thinking of the planetary crises through the idea of the Anthropocene draws attention to the historically shaped entanglements between nature, science, and society. The history of the human species, which we have known and studied, could be one partial fulfillment of the history of the earth. The current planetary crises and the Anthropocene thus demand new ways of narrating the past, the present, and the future.While the Anthropocene is shaped globally, local and regional places have experienced the changes of Anthropocene in different ways, reflecting their own political, cultural, and ecological specificities. In Asia and beyond, the experiences of the Anthropocene are situated with the non-Western trajectories of modernization: the leading role of the state in capitalist development, colonial histories related to the Empires, the existence of cultural heritages and traditions, and the specific material and ecological conditions. These factors have shaped the locally specific and regionally shared forms and processes of the crises in the Anthropocene.
Our goal is to develop multi-faceted understandings of environmental crises and the Anthropocene from comparative perspectives of various countries in Asia and beyond. We invite contributions not just from history, but also from fields of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to promote truly transdisciplinary dialogue of the predicaments of the Anthropocene. Panel proposals are preferred, but individual papers are also welcomed. Here are suggested sub-themes:
Deep history of humans, nature, and the earth
Land-use patterns and environmental sustainability
Water resource utilization and conservation
Politics of renewable energy
Forest resources and sustainability
History and sociology of environmental movements
Climate change and energy politics
Resource extractions and biodiversity conservation
Pollution, disease, and environmental health
Urbanization and environmental sustainability
Long-term changes in natural systems
Modelling and visualization of environmental changes
Entanglements between colonialism, sciences, and climate change
Postcolonial approaches to the Anthropocene
State, market, and civil society in environmentalism
Multispecies entanglements in theory and practice
Narratives about the Anthropocene pasts and futures
Scholars from all around the world who are interested in environmental history are welcome. We invite two types of proposals—1) individual research, or 2) pre-organized panel, preferably composed of 3 to 4 individual presenters as well as a chair and discussant(s).
You may submit your proposal at the following link: https://forms.gle/atTn2U2ALQVMZ9ys7

To submit your pre-organized panel, please fill out the google form--the running title of the session, abstract of the panel, name and affiliation of the chair and presenters, and the title of each presentation.
The Program Committee encourages and favors more inclusive proposals that consider the issues of gender, ethnic, institutional, and disciplinary balance in the composition of the panels. A combination of junior and senior scholars in the panel is also desirable. We encourage colleagues (whether or not a member of the AEAEH) to submit their proposals to help us to create more inclusive discussions.
