Workshop: Monitoring the Environment July 17-18, 2003

项目摘要约翰·霍普金斯大学的斯图尔特·W·莱斯利“监测环境”这项提案请求资金支持年轻学者参加由技术历史学会和美国环境历史学会共同赞助的“监测环境：历史视角下的尺度、方法和系统”研讨会。研讨会将汇集两组历史学家，他们经常阅读对方的作品，并有许多共同的兴趣，但从未组织过联合研讨会。从环境和技术史的双重角度探讨这一专题将开启一场关于如何确定和研究制定和执行环境标准所涉及的关键问题的对话。研讨会的更广泛影响是双重的。首先，讲习班将促进两组历史学家之间的接触，他们从非常不同的角度处理环境监测这一主题。同样重要的是，年轻学者有机会倾听和批评彼此的工作，这将为未来的合作和协作奠定基础。

Project AbstractSES 0347346Stuart W. Leslie, Johns Hopkins University"Monitoring the Environment" This proposal requests funds to support young scholar travel to participate in a workshop, "Monitoring the Environment: Scales, Methods, and Systems in Historical Perspective", co-sponsored by the Society for the History of Technology and the American Society for Environmental History. The workshop will bring together two groups of historians who frequently read one another's work and share a number of common interests but have never organized a joint workshop. Approaching the topic from the twin perspectives of environmental and technological history will open a dialogue on how to identify and study the key issues involved in setting and enforcing environmental standards. The broader impact of the workshop is two-fold. First, the workshop will facilitate contact between two groups of historians who approach the topic of environmental monitoring from very different points of view. Just as importantly, the opportunity for young scholars to hear and critique one another's work will set the stage for future cooperation and collaboration.
