"CHEspace": A Gallery

What do a limnologist and a poet talk about when looking at a historic map? What does an anthropologist say to a wildlife ecologist about tourism? How will a historian and a landscape architect discuss agriculture while on the back of haywagon? And what will all these folks talk about over dinner?

CHE prides itself on making just these sorts of interactions possible in what we lovingly call "CHEspace." CHEspace is the dialoque that happens when you bring together people who study and care about the human dimensions of past and present environmental change, but who come from different disciplinary backgrounds. Sometimes these interactions are formal, such as in our colloquiums or seminars, and sometimes they are planned, such as when we host a discussion as part of a place-based workshop. But just as often, CHEspace emerges best in places we can't plan – along the trail, on the bus, over drinks in the evening, and over breakfast in the morning.

This page is a gallery dedicated to commemorating the evolution of "CHEspace" over the years.
