The Management of Natural Resources and the Environment in Canada: Historical and Transnational Perspectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although pandemic restrictions delayed the 2021 autumn series, the Shannon Lectures in History<\/a> are just around the corner with a spring 2022 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Shannon Lectures in History are a series of thematically linked public lectures offered at Carleton University and made possible through a major gift from a long-time friend of the Department of History<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spring 2022 lectures will explore historical and transnational perspectives on the management of natural resources and the environment in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n

Relations between humans and non-human inhabitants of the environment are old of several millennia. The history of these relations involves regulations of all sorts about use and preservation, contested or collaborative. In the making of these regulations, users, activists, government agencies and civil society organizations alike have shared contrasting traditions and perspectives on the ecology of natural resources. As recent global climatic trends suggest ominous cataclysmic environmental implications for both the environment and its users, the issue of natural resources and the efficient management of the environment to guarantee the continuous sustainable consumption of the environment and its natural resources has appeared in sharp focus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The lecture series involve a predominantly Canada-oriented range of environmental experiences, and feature corresponding transnational perspectives, in conversations with African environmental\/resource management experiences\/practices from Ghana. Proceedings are aimed at generating historical knowledge of our collective transnational experience of the environment and its resources, which, hopefully, should add to existing knowledge in history, government policy formulation, environmental protection efforts, legal frameworks on the environment, resource management, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
