The eighth volume of the Journal for the History of Environment and Society (JHES) has been published. Amsab-ISG has been the editorial director of this journal, which focuses on the intersection of environmental and social history, since 2016.

an international academic journal, JHES covers all aspects of environmental history in the broadest sense, online and open access.

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.
