Friday, April 23, the Center for Asian Studies held a panel discussion titled “New Approaches to East Asian Environmental Studies.” The event took place during Environmental History Week.
Paul Sutter, history professor and series editor for Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books, hosted the event which brought together three authors from across the nation to talk about their East Asian environmental history series.
Jakobina Arch, associate history professor at Witman College, introduced her 2018 book, “Bringing Whales Ashore: Oceans and the Environment in Early Modern Japan.” The book focuses on the human relationship with whales in Japan as a piece of maritime history as well as on whaling in general, which she feels that Japan’s environmental history tends to ignore.
