March 8 and 9th, 1-5pm CST (2-6pm EST)

The ASEH Graduate Student Caucus, the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE), and the NiCHE New Scholars Committee present an environmental history Twitter conference, which will be held one week before the meeting of the American Society for Environmental History (ASEH) meeting in Riverside, California.

This conference is designed to increase general public engagement with environmental history. Historians and other members of the public are encouraged to digitally attend and participate in the conference.

What will happen on the day of the conference?

On the day of the conference the ASEH Graduate Student Caucus Twitter Account (@ASEHGradCaucus) will introduce each presenter. Each presentation is allotted 30 minutes. The presenter will then present their presentation thread over the span of the first 15 minutes. The second 15 minutes will be for questions and comments from the audience. These conversations can continue after this time, but there is only 15 minutes dedicated to responding to each specific presentation.
