The seventh volume of the Journal for the History of Environment and Society (JHES) has been published.

JHES

Since 2016, Amsab-ISG has been the editorial secretary of this international academic journal on the intersection of environmental history and social history.

JHES aims to be a leading online and open access journal covering all aspects of environmental history in the broadest sense.

The journal promotes high-quality scholarship focusing on the relationships between environmental change and socio-historical context. Interregional and international comparative articles receive special attention. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline, papers must be accessible to scholars from all disciplines in the field, making them accessible to a wider audience.

Geographically, the Journal focuses primarily—but not exclusively—on Northwest Europe (including areas historically connected to that broader region). Articles with a more general geographic scope may also be published in the journal.

JHES can be consulted in Open Access at Brepols.
