The Greenhouse: Events

This call invites scholars of histories of science, medicine and technology, environmental history, art and architectural histories, and historically-based literary and cultural studies to think with the weather and weathering, and discuss linkages between affect, material cultures, climate and weather from the late-eighteenth to mid-twentieth centuries.
