The Environment & Society Portal proudly presents a new Acardia collection! "Disaster Histories" is the eighth Arcadia collection and consists of short environmental histories focusing on a wide range of extreme natural events, such as floods, storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and diseases, as well as their consequences in inhabited areas. 

This collection is curated by Arcadia's former managing editor, Katrin Kleemann, and is open for new contributions.

Seeing the Woods regularly publishes pieces written by RCC fellows, students, visiting scholars, staff, as well as select external contributors.

With features on events, personal experiences, and book reviews, among others, it aims to demonstrate the relevancy and importance of humanistic and historical perspectives in discussions about today’s environmental challenges, as well as striving to connect scholarship and public discourse in order to find solutions to environmental problems.
