This conference seeks to bring historical perspectives to bear on the contentious subject of biological invasions. This is particularly helpful in assessing assumptions about what is an 'indigenous' and what is an 'alien' plant, animal or microbe. These kinds of distinctions themselves have histories, and where acted upon may reveal sharp differences in how different social groups value and use natural resources. A broad range of approaches and perspectives are solicited, for example encompassing invasions by people of other lands as a response to environmental conditions, or localised internal intrusions for changing resource use, with resultant transformation of the landscape. The conference is organised by the European Association for Environmental History, ESEH, and hosted by the African Studies Centre in Oxford.
Venue: St Antony's College, Oxford
Date: Tuesday 15 September, 2009
