Last week I announced my new #EnvHist wordcloud initiative. I got some positive feedback. I’m still struggling with how to meld this into some kind of thoughtful analysis. I’m willing to let this experiment evolve naturally, continue as it is, or let it die naturally. Either route leads to some fun visualization, thus, win-win.
Here are the top articles amongst environmental historians and humanities scholars this past week (March 6-March 12, 2017):
Monday: “The Welcome Stranger Nugget“, GoldRushNuggets.com
Tuesday: “Local planning, sharing benefits key to wind-farm buy-in, study finds”, CBC News
Wednesday: “From coast to coast and north to south, Indigenous women are on the rise” by Lenard Monkman, CBC News, Indigenous
Thursday: “Conservative senator defends ‘well-intentioned’ residential school system” by John Paul Tasker, CBC News, Politics
Friday: “EPA environmental justice head resigns”, PBS Newshour
Saturday: “Video captures moment plastic enters food chain” by Mark Kinver, BBC News, Science and Environment
