The Women's Environmental History Network (WEHN) provides a welcome space, both figuratively and literally, in which newcomers to environmental history have an opportunity to meet with and network with senior scholars in the field. Our network has proven especially valuable for young scholars who seek role models as they chart their professional paths.
WEHN strives towards a more gender-inclusive and anti-racist academic world. We welcome nonbinary scholars, the LGBTQIA+ community, and members of marginalized groups into our network.

HISTORY
As women in environmental history recognized shared concerns and shared interests, they came together through a steadily expanding group of scholars. This group, which convened at conferences beginning in Washington in 2015, broadened to include hosting and sponsoring an annual networking reception at ASEH that launched in 2016, as well as events with the International Consortium of Environmental History Organizations (ICEHO), the European Society of Environmental History (ESEH), and La Sociedad Latinoamericana y Carabeña de Historia Ambiental (SOLCHA). WEHN now sustains a growing list of more than 250 scholars around the world.
