OSU - School of History, Philosophy, and Religion's video: Biodiversity and the History of Scientific Environments: Part 3

This workshop brings together scholars from environmental history, historical geography, and the history of science to analyze how scientific spaces were used and reconfigured during long-term research, focusing a historical lens on contemporary challenges in biodiversity and conservation. The talks examine disciplines including horticulture, ecology, and astronomy, and sites across the globe ranging from seascapes to observatories, and from gardens to woods. Bridging the Divide: Nature, Science, and Politics on the Korean Peninsula: Dr. Lisa M. Brady is Professor of Environmental History and U.S. History at Boise State University. Her research focuses on war and environment, examining the ways military activities–during peace time and in times of conflict–shape and are shaped by the natural environment. Her lecture will be the closing keynote address for the Biodiversity and the History of Scientific Environments day-long workshop.
