about

In the fall of 2022, the History department and the Center for History and Economics launched an experimental course: HIST 15E/HISTSCI 1630, "Writing Histories of Climate Change", taught by Emma Rothschild (History) and Victor Seow (History of Science.) The course was an effort to ask what history, and what social and humanistic approaches more broadly, have to offer to questions of climate action. This website showcases some essays from the course. The locations to which the projects relate are mapped below.
