CfP: War and Environment in Early Modern Eastern Europe and Eurasia
The Premodern East Slavic Europe Network is pleased to invite papers for its 6th Annual Meeting War and Environment in Early Modern Eastern Europe and Eurasia.
The conference will focus on six interconnected themes:
1. War in the Environment: Perception, Knowledge, and the Construction of Nature
2. War with the Environment: Climate, Terrain, Animals, and Resources
3. War against the Environment: Destruction, Transformation, and Resource Use
4. Food and Health in Wartime
5. War, Migration, and Social Responses
6. After Violence: Restoration, Adaptation, and Long-Term Change
The conference is explicitly interdisciplinary and welcomes contributions from history, environmental and military history, archaeology, geography, literary and cultural studies, art history, the history of knowledge, and related fields. We particularly encourage comparative and transregional approaches as well as studies that bridge established boundaries between military, environmental, social, economic, and cultural history.
