Environmental Humanities Research Seminar

The Environmental Humanities Research Seminar is a joint initiative that connects scholars at the University of Pittsburgh with their counterparts at Carnegie Mellon University. EHRS provides a cross-institutional, interdisciplinary venue where graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty share research with colleagues outside their immediate fields and engage in generative conversation.

This spring we will host our first-ever Environmental Humanities SLAM, featuring "flash" talks by a range of scholars from Pitt, CMU, and other local institutions. Please save the date - April 1 at 4:00 PM - and consider signing up as a presenter. Here's how:

If you're a graduate student, postdoc, faculty member, or scholar/educator working on an EH-related topic at any local institution, then this is an opportunity to share your work in a fun and collegial environment. To sign up as a presenter, please complete this quick form by February 21. We will follow up to confirm participation and provide more details on the format. Everyone is welcome to join, whether presenting or not. 

But, wait, what's a flash talk? A flash talk is an engaging, three-minute distillation of a larger project. The 'project' can be: an article or book that's in progress or recently published; a new course that's being developed or offered; or any EH initiative that you're working on and want to share. The goal is to promote your work and catalyze new connections.
