NiCHE: Network in Canadian History & Environment / Nouvelle initiative canadienne en histoire de l’environnement is a Canadian-based confederation of researchers and educators who work at the intersection of nature and history. We explore the historical context of environmental matters and communicate our findings to researchers, policymakers, and the public.

I had a chance to chat with CBC News Ottawa live on the radio this morning about the unexploded bombs in the Mer Bleue bog in Ottawa. The area was used as a bombing range during the Second World War and it has left some lingering environmental legacies. #history #WW2 #environment #Canada University of Guelph https://lnkd.in/eDsRtRTu

Community Meetups 🪐✨ For our Toronto meet up, we explored Camille Turner’s “Otherworld” exhibit at the University of Toronto Art Centre. Working in performance, photography, installation, digital and sonic media, she immerses visitors in a non-linear Afro-Astronautic journey by water and space. Camille’s Afronautic research methodology takes the visitor deep into the archive, uncovering the traces and legacies of enslavement in Canada. Camille reminds us that: “It is the responsibility of the living to remember the dead.” Camille’s work challenges us to contemplate, grieve, and dream Otherworlds. The exhibition is open until March 22, 2025. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gf7n4Fm7
#WorldFoodDay "Chaga’s entry into the pantheon of superfoods—and its transformation into something worth selling—came out of a relatively recent meeting of traditional knowledge and western biomedicine, accelerated by the Internet and a heady mix of bad history." - Jonathan Robins https://lnkd.in/gz7UMyee #superfoods #food #chaga

This has been ongoing for a few years - and the implications are serious for STEM and tech education at large. Consequently, this will also affect how humanities and social sciences that have always been critical of these trends are treated as important sites of inquiry. These days, I am increasingly skeptical about how much mainstream academic institutions can address these concerns, in light of decades of neoliberalization of education, tech utopianism, and so on, and the structural complicity with the military-industrial complex and the ongoing genocide in Palestine, Congo and Sudan. But for the rest of us, this is time to pause and mobilize accordingly.
