[Histmaj] Upcoming Environmental History event: "The Organic Machine at 30", Nov. 7, 2025

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

All are welcome to attend this forum celebrating the 30th anniversary of Richard White's landmark book, The Organic Machine: the Remaking of the Columbia River, featuring Dr. White in conversation with a panel of environmental humanities scholars.


Published in 1995, The Organic Machine helped launch a new way of writing environmental history—one that bridges nature and culture, science and story, ecology and economy. Thirty years later, its influence endures across disciplines. Beyond commemoration, this event seeks to reenergize the interdisciplinary connections among scholars and students engaged in environmental studies across the University of Washington. It will highlight the UW’s longstanding role as a collegial and innovative center for environmental thought—where ideas that helped shape The Organic Machine first took root.
