conversation and vigorous debate on using

ing technologies, and the challenges we face as
an academic society. On Thursday, we host an
invited remote panel on ‘Building Environmental
History Networks Around the World.’ This panel
aims to set a trend for promoting global partic-
ipation at our conferences while reducing our
carbon footprint.
The Thursday evening plenary, ‘Prospecting for
the Future of Environmental History,’ includes an
interdisciplinary panel that will address the role
of environmental history in other fields, includ-
ing science and the arts.
On Saturday afternoon, instead of winding
down, the final panel of the program, ‘Activist
Environmental History in the Trump Era,’ encour-
ages a lively debate on the use of environmental
history in North America and around the globe.
The program includes some popular innovations
from last year, including the thesis slam and a
lightning session, which allow for the presenta-
tion of research in very brief formats. Two pan-
els honor founding members John Opie, Don
Hughes, and Sam Hays with discussions of their
contributions to the field.
For many of us, the ASEH Annual Conference
represents not just the opportunity for intellec-
tual exchange, but the opportunity for social
exchanges—with both old friends and new col-
