Project Progressions

One thing that has been on my mind this week, especially in the lead up to my presentation, is structure and how most effectively to convey the information I have. While this includes sorting, planning and rearranging, I also want

The Anthropocene in the late 18th century: project thoughts

I have noticed that it is often when you think you have finally settled on a topic and an argument that you come across an article that invites you to rethink everything and broaden the scope and reach of your

Imagery and Importance

What does an image mean? That may seem like a broad question, fair enough, so I’ll narrow it down. What can the contents, or lack thereof, of an image mean? That’s a little more specific but still quite general I’ll admit.

Locating sources

The last week has been a little challenging and I haven’t managed to do some of the work I had been planning to complete re. my research project and presentation. However, what I have realised is that locating material on

Essay Reflection and Moving Forward

Wow! Turning in an assignment that I’ve worked on for a while is always slightly unnerving – is it really done? Have I looked at the page so many times that I didn’t notice a formatting mistake? Did I accidentally

Changing Direction – Project Thoughts

From my short essay writing and post-project proposal reflection I have been deliberating the direction of my final project. A lack of direction has been my biggest issue, so I have been spending some time to figure out where I

Using the non-human

Last week’s class on the non-human was extremely interesting. For me, it helped clear up some ideas I have for my long essay, and allowed me to adapt what I was saying in my short essay. It showed me that

International Law and Context.

‘International Law’ (IL) is useless. Or so goes the conventional wisdom. Whether sitting around with all the armchair generals in IR, reading ‘realist’ literature or indulging in the latest journalistic diatribe against IL penned by some jumped up American isolationist,

Presentation Planning: Photographs, Maps, and Images

With the presentation a week or so away, I am enjoying continuing my research for my project. What is currently on my mind is how 10 minutes to present really is not that much time. From my research so far,

Outside of History, or Understanding Outside One’s Field

“Approximate Bayesian Computation of radiocarbon and paleoenvironmental record shows population resilience on Rapa Nui (Easter Island)”. So goes the title of one of the many articles I am reading in my attempt to better understand Rapanui and its people. This one

Discourse on ‘the nation’ – a different type of nationalism in Ukraine and Belarus

I have been engaging with more theoretical discourses regarding the construct of ‘the nation’ along with its main counterparts, nationalism and national identity. The fluidity of the term across disciplines, particularly international relations, has proven to be a bit difficult

Non-human and Transnational History

There is a clear link between non-human and transnational history as looking at the non-human cuts across many of the categories which humans impose, such as the nation which form the basis for narrow studies of history. There is a

constructing culture

I took John Clarke’s History of Environmentalism module last year. We read a few interesting pieces that I found to be relevant to this week in Transnational history. Sophie made an interesting point regarding how easy it is to forget

Thoughts on the non-human and the human aspects of Environmental History

This week’s readings were extremely interesting and surprising to me in a few ways. In terms of the draft article, I was surprised that I had never heard of Laki considering last year, while on a study abroad placement in

Histories of the Non-Human Reflections

I find this week’s topic and readings extremely interesting because of the questions it raises about the practice of doing history and what counts as history. While I had heard of environmental history, and fondly remember reading (I think) some
