This cluster is represented by an elected member and an advisory committee to express the concerns and interests of graduate students and recent graduates. The New Scholars representative also acts as a liason with the NiCHE executive to help facilitate graduate student and recent graduate projects in environmental history that fit with NiCHE's SSHRC mandate.

Goals

The New Scholars in Canadian History & Environment is a sub-group of NiCHE for those embarking on their careers. If you are a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or recent PhD graduate with an idea for a project to help disseminate environmental history research or to compile resources for other researchers, please feel free to contact the NiCHE New Scholars representative for information about how NiCHE can support your initiative.
