Environments of Change

Claire has recently joined the Environments of Change Project as a Collaborator. Environments of Change is a transdisciplinary collaboration led by Professor Steven Bednarski (University of Waterloo, Canada) and supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

The project explores, from multiple perspectives, the environmental history of late medieval Sussex using emerging digital tools. It aims to understand better the reciprocal relationship between humans and nature in the past and, in so doing, to apply these frameworks to present situations and contexts. It develops digital tools and resources that allow individuals to understand the complex and dynamic relationship between societies and the natural world. These tools will have application in educational, academic, policy, and tourist settings. Project partners include Battle Abbey School, Brock University (Canada), East Sussex County Council, English Heritage, Harvard Library and Queen’s University (Canada).
