Presidential Session: Re-radicalizing Environmental History: Using the Power of Public History to Reimagine and Reenergize Our Field

Session Submission Type: Experimental Session

Abstract

This is one of five panels that ASEH President Graeme Wynn helped organize. Inspired by the radical public historian Roy Rosenzweig and the radical environmental historian Donald Worster, this panel will explore how public history—with its guiding values of shared authority, collaboration, and participatory democracy—can re-radicalize environmental history to meet the challenges of our contemporary crisis.
