Panel: Histories and Futures of the Global Environment

These panels bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to consider the past, present, and future of the "global environment." The first panel will focus on histories of the environment in the shadow of climate change to discuss how we can meaningfully conceptualize climate's role on history and history's role in understanding climatic and planetary changes through different lenses. The second is on the question of capitalism. We hope to learn more about how markets and states interact with the environment, to what extent they are suitable vehicles for dealing with climate change or necessarily disruptive.
