The Environmental History Interest Group is a Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop formed in Winter 2014. It is a venue for graduate students and faculty from a wide range of departments to discuss both recent scholarship and their own contributions to the diverse field of environmental history. Adopting a broad geographical, chronological, and thematic scope, the EHIG aims to provide a forum for its members to engage in the kind of interdisciplinary conversations that are essential for pushing research in new directions. Reading groups and writing workshops provide sites for discussing recent work on environmental history and challenge graduate students and faculty members to engage and experiment with unfamiliar theories and methods in a supportive, informal context.
