With Robert Newton and Bathsheba Demuth, we will be discussing “The Art of Fact” and environmental storytelling, at the Conference to Mark the Anniversary of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, on October 16-19 at the Akademie Schloss Tutzing, Germany.

The conference is a joint initiative of Le RUCHE (Réseau Universitaire de Chercheurs en Histoire Environnementale) and the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at LMU Munich. Held in English and French, it will focus on the discussion of pre-circulated papers of 6,000 to 8,000 words, including footnotes (due by 15 September 2022), and the discussion will be in both languages. The RCC and Le RUCHE will cover travel and accommodation costs.
