Registration is now open for Ruling Climate.
“Ruling Climate’ aims to explore the relationship between cultural perceptions of the environment and practical attempts at environmental regulation and change between 1500 and 1800. The conference is focussed around three main themes:
2) The political significance of climate theories: how did theories of climatic influence inspire and sustain governmental efforts of various kinds, in domestic and colonial contexts? (eg. population displacement, environmental planning and public health, engineering works, siting new colonies, etc.)
3) Governed by climate/governing climate: what is the relationship between theories of climatic influence and the development of strategies to cope with/modify climate and the environment?”
