Introduction
Environmental History at Yale is a collaborative effort by Yale faculty and students to promote research and teaching on the complex historical relationship between people and the environment. Yale’s environmental history offerings benefit from a distinctive global scope, with historians specializing in aspects of African, Chinese, Japanese, European, Latin American, and United States environmental history.
Yale's environmental history faculty and curriculum are enhanced by strong programs in History of Science and Medicine and the American West, as well as related programs across the campus in Agrarian Studies, Anthropology, Art and Architecture, Environmental Studies and Environmental Sciences, International Studies, and Religious Studies.
Students and faculty share works-in-progress at a monthly brownbag colloquium. Yale will host its first graduate student conference on “Social Conflict and Environmental Change” in April 2010.
