I have been an ESEH member since 2003. In 2013 I served as a member of the selection
committee for the society’s Biannual Conference. Since 2012 I have been active in the creation
of a Portuguese informal network of environmental historians, also connected to the larger
community of Portuguese-speaking environmental historians, co-organizing an international
meeting in Coimbra (march of 2012), whose proceedings were co-edited with Stefania Barca. I
have been especially active in making connection and in increasing Environmental History
studies in Portugal, which examples can be found in the co-organization of the round table
Creating a lasting legacy from WCEH 2014: Environmental histories of the Portuguese world,
in the context of the Second World Congress of Environmental History, Portugal July 7-14,
2014, and the organization of the ESEH Summer School, in Porto, University of Porto,
Portugal, 4-8 July 2014, under the general topic The Sea as a whole – Ideological reservoir and
environmental
concerns,
http://eseh.org/summer-school-the-sea-as-a-whole/
(report
http://eseh.org/porto-summer-school-report/).
I have been especially active in making connections between scholars in different disciplinary
fields and the ESEH, and in organizing the Portuguese Network of Environmental History,
REPORT(H)A http://www.reportha.org/pt/ founded in November 2015 in the context of the
International Congress organized by my center of research (CITCEM, research line Maritime
Cultures and Environment http://www.citcem.org/linhas-de-investigacao/maritime-culturesand-environment) and the first Conference of the Portuguese Network under the topic Crossing
Borders: Crossing Borders: Connecting Edges of Environmental History, with the participation
of researchers from areas such as (in an alphabetical order) Agronomy, Anthropology,
Archaeology, Architecture, Biology, Social Sciences, Economics, Engineering, Philosophy,
Geography, Geology, History, History of Art, Literature, Sociology.
The next step will be the consolidation of this emerging Portuguese EH community, reinforcing
activities and enlarging national and international connections, promoting interdisciplinary
dialogs, in particular the methodology approach, reasons that justifies why I believe is important
a re-election to serve as RR.
