World Rivers in History
Jun 26, 2006
Plenary Session at the Great Rivers Conference, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse | Convener: Christof Mauch (GHI)
Taking examples from four regions of the world – major rivers in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America - the panelists will explore differing approaches to the history of rivers. The session is sponsored by the German Historical Institute (GHI) in Washington D.C. International Environmental History and comparative history are two of the GHI’s areas of focus.
