The Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network is an exciting initiative in the study of environmental issues. The network presents researchers within the humanities with a forum in which to engage with each other’s work, to share insights, and develop collaborative partnerships. IASH's Environmental Humanities Fellows contribute to the Network in a variety of ways. The Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network It is our belief that the holism which informs critical thinking in the humanities complements the ecological nature of the present problems. The network therefore places a particular emphasis on reflection upon, and innovation across, the disciplinary boundaries within which the humanities tend to operate. The Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network also looks to connect environmental researchers within the humanities with each other, with the wider environmental research agenda within the University, and beyond. The network aspires to be relational in its approach to key themes, issues, and problems. The Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network Organic We recognise the value of a historically- and theoretically-informed approach to environmental problems. The network will approach environmental issues in a timely and organic fashion, building on existing research to explore new opportunities and insights. The Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network presents researchers within the humanities with a forum in which to engage with each other's work, to share insights, and develop collaborative partnerships. Outward-focussed The network is open to working with researchers based in other Universities and outwith the Higher Education sector.
