In this seminar, Alice will consider the implications of this for school history. However, the presentation will be relevant to anyone interested in the history of science and technology in relation to climate change.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in the history of climate change, and especially what the history of science and technology can teach us about the climate crisis.
