[M-IS06] Human-environment Nexus from Pre-Historic to Modern Times

Sat. Jun 5, 2021 5:15 PM - 6:30 PM Ch.20

convener:F Harry Lee(The Chinese University of Hong Kong)

We sincerely invite researchers to present their works pertaining to the socio-economic and demographic impacts of climate change in pre-historic, historical, and modern times, which is a topic focusing on human-environment interactions. The related knowledge may have important implications for global and regional sustainability. This session is going to serve as an interdisciplinary platform for collecting different views and facilitating a constructive debate about the ways in which human-environment interactions can be generalized, contextualized, or even denied --- a philosophical issue pertinent to the theoretical underpinnings of environmental humanities. To further facilitate the debate about global and regional sustainability from different perspectives, scholars who agree on the significant impact of climate change on human societies, or who are skeptical about this relationship, are welcome to present their related works in this session. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

A. How and to what extent human societies are (or are not) affected by climate change or climatic extremes;

B. The use of empirical archaeological/historical data in investigating human-environment interactions;

C. Case studies in illustrating human-environment interactions;

D. The influence of spatio-temporal scale, study period, and study area on human-environment interactions; and

E. Philosophical discussion about human-environment interactions.
