Dear
Colleagues
On 15-16 October 2015, Surgut State Pedagogical University will be
holding a scientific seminar on
"Environmental History of the Siberian North : Promising Research Directions"
Environmental historians from the USA
and Europe consider Russia to be a great country with unique natural conditions,
particularly interesting as it is little known. This is particularly true of
the Siberian North which was only recently, and rapidly, developed. At the
start of this development the main need was to relate the amount of resources
extracted to the needs of industrial development with environmental protection
as necessary. These factors make this region interesting for historical-ecology
researches both in theoretical and also practical fields.
The main goal of the seminar is to discuss the results of existing
research on the environmental history of the Siberian North, both theoretical
and methodological, and explore the possibilities for new historical research
on the origins and evolution of contradictions between people and nature in
this region. We aim to develop a professional dialogue discussing the main
theoretical and methodological problems of environmental history.
The program
will include members’ reports and roundtables, as well as a cultural program.
The working
languages are Russian and English.
The Conference
Committee proposes the following themes for roundtables:
- Historical
experience of nature management in the Siberian North: «experience of
history» and «experience of historian»,
- The
history of regional environmental policy in the Russian Empire and Soviet
Union: the «north variant».
- Natural
resources, natural management and natural protection in the North of
Siberia in the historical past;
- Models
of interaction between society and nature in the North of Siberia in the
17th – 20th century.
