Please reach out and say hi! Please introduce yourself and send us a short talk description/ abstract and we can discuss if your talk would be appropriate for our speaker series and if so, how to proceed! Thank you very kindly for your interest.
As of 2024, we are seeking in particular to expand our subject matter to include:
- ‘Local Voices, Local Stories’ – a collection of regional forest and landscape histories, from both settler and Indigenous backgrounds.
- Industrial and worker histories
- Histories of particular government programs, research programs, etc.
- Ecological and environmental histories.
