Dear GEP colleagues, Michael Manulak and I are organising a panel for next year’s ISA Annual Convention in Chicago that brings together scholars working on the historical dimensions of GEP. The purpose of this panel is to showcase new research on GEP history and stimulate reflection on the role of historical research in the future development of GEP as an academic discipline. Please send us an email (to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> and [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), ideally by 24th May, if you would like to be included in this panel. Below is the abstract for this panel proposal:
Panel title: “Global Environmental Politics: Learning from History” Abstract: This panel explores the role that history and historical research can and should play in the study of global environmental politics (GEP). Historically informed scholarship has gained traction in International Relations in recent years but remains on the margins of the GEP research agenda. This panel explores why this is the case and what can be done to stimulate more extensive engagement with the fields of environmental history and global history. Bringing GEP and history together ought to shed new light on, inter alia, the historical roots of environmentalism and GEP; how understandings of global environmental problems have evolved over time; and what we can learn from past cases of environmental policy-making. This panel brings together scholars with an interest in the historical dimensions of the global environment and environmental politics, to explore different uses of history in the study of GEP.
