Germinate: Environmental History Review

Germinate is an open-access, digital publication of the American Society for Environmental History (ASEH). We publish work that explores, illuminates, investigates, observes, and/or interprets topics connecting the environmental present with its past to help foster an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas, respond to contemporary issues, and make environmental history more accessible and available to a broader audience.

Germinate is committed to inclusivity, diversity, and open to queries, conversations, and controversy, welcoming different perspectives and voices.
