The Institute of Historical Research (IHR) of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF) and the European Society for Environmental History (ESEH) are organizing an environmental history workshop which primarily focuses on conflict; armed or unarmed, open or undeclared. Conflict is closely linked to the environment as issues associated with the global ecology continue to spark protests and stir violence by the day. In this workshop, we aspire to delve into their historical preludes and follow their development in the immediate outskirts of global capitalism in southeastern Europe and, more specifically, Greece.

Tobacco was one of the most important globally traded commodities from the 17th century through to the present day, and yet it has received relatively little attention in the historiography of modern empires in comparison to other commodities, such as sugar or cotton. As a result, recent approaches to rewriting the history of European imperialism from a more global perspective have hardly been problematized with regard to the peculiarities of tobacco history. Nowadays, studies no longer understand empire as a rigid relationship between metropole and colonies, but take the dynamics of actors within an empire as seriously as the networks and global processes that crossed imperial borders, or indeed lay beyond them. The conference starts from this assumption. We ask to what extent the history of tobacco allows new insights into the tension between the imperial integration of a metropole and its colonies, and the global entanglement of places and peoples within and beyond empires. Changing regimes of consumption, knowledge, myth-making, trade, and work, are central fields of recent commodity studies, and deserve particular attention. To this end, we aim to apply insights from economic and cultural history, but also from political, social, psychological, and environmental history. While Western overseas empires have tended to attract most attention, we welcome contributions on all countries and all empires.

We seek to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct research on food consumption in early modern Ireland. The post-holder will be appointed primarily under work package 1 of the project: Food Microhistories, which uses institutional and household accounts to examine both dietary trends and the social and cultural ‘meanings’ of food in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Ireland. The successful candidate will work on records already digitised by the PI, while also seeking to identify further accounts for analysis. S/he will conduct archival research, transcribe, input, and analyse data, and prepare select accounts for publication. S/he will also contribute to other relevant work packages, including the ‘Ale, Beer and Brewing’ study (scheduled for March 2021), which will replicate and test the nutritional value of sixteenth-century household beer, and the ‘Dietary Isotopes’ study which integrates historical and bioarchaeological approaches to explore diet. The post-holder will also undertake dissemination and public engagement activities to assist the project in its aim to communicate the importance of its discoveries to the widest possible audience.
