--=====================_2542546==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed The following lecture may interest some on this list. Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Department of History, Dalhousie University Subject: Public lecture Environmental History in Atlantic Canada Keshen Goodman Public Library, 330 Lacewood Dr., Halifax 21 April 2011 at 7 p.m. What is environmental history, and what does it mean for Atlantic Canada? As part of NiCHE's (Network in Canadian History and Environment) Earth Week public events across Canada, Dalhousie's Claire Campbell will present an engaging lecture on 21 April at 7 p.m. at the Keshen Goodman Library, entitled, "What is environmental history, and what does it mean for Atlantic Canada?" Environmental issues such as climate change, energy supply, and resource use are at the forefront of public debate. But while "sustainability" implies thinking about the future, there are in fact critical lessons to be learned from the past. And while environmental issues are often global in scale, thinking in regional terms is arguably much more relevant for policy discussion. Communities in Atlantic Canada are living artifacts of our environmental past: of scientific exploration, industrial use, resource management, and efforts at protection and reclamation. This talk will explore some ways in which a historical perspective can help us take "a long view" of sustainability in the Atlantic region, demonstrate how our economic health and cultural identity is rooted in the natural environment, and suggest what we might learn from past experience. Dr. Claire Campbell is an associate professor of history and the coordinator of the Canadian Studies program at Dalhousie University, where she also teaches (SUST 1000) in the College of Sustainability. --=====================_2542546==.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> <body> The following lecture may interest some on this list.<br><br> Patricia L.
