The Network in Canadian History & Environment / Nouvelle initiative canadienne en histoire de l’environnement is seeking new editorial/executive committee members. We welcome expressions of interest from anyone active in the academic study of environmental history and historical geography, including those in related fields and professional areas.
NiCHE is a Canadian-based, volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization of researchers and educators who work at the intersection of nature and history. We explore the historical context of environmental matters and communicate our findings to researchers, policymakers, and the public.
Our main platform for communicating our work is this website, where we publish a blog, book reviews, news & announcements, a monthly newsletter, a podcast, videos, a peer-reviewed journal, teaching/research resources, research project websites, and more. We also do other things such as host an annual summer school (and we will again, promise!), adjudicate an annual book/article prize, and coordinate a network for graduate students. It’s a lot, and it’s a lot of fun.
We do all this with the support of the broader NiCHE community and through the time, effort, and energy of our volunteer editorial/executive committee. (Get to know them here!)
If you think you would like to put some time, effort, and energy into helping make great things at NiCHE by joining our editorial/executive board, please fill out this form and let us know by September 1, 2021:
