Welcome to the American Society for Environmental History
Lisa M. Brady received ASEH’s Samuel P. Hays Research Fellowship in 2011 in support of her project on conflict and environmental change in Korea during the 20th Century. Korea's recent environmental troubles can be traced to its century-long experience of intensive resource exploitation through colonization, war, and ideological competition. Contributing to the growing literature on the environmental history of war and diplomacy, Brady's project is unique in its focus on Korea, a place that is especially revealing of the ecological consequences of long-term conflict.
