Considering Place

Tina Loo commented in our discussions that “environmental history is the history of social relationships as mediated by place.” In the context of this workshop the place that was doing the mediating was most broadly the North, but at various points, through our field trips, our evening at the fish camp, or Loo’s public talk in Whitehorse we were also very much situated in the specific place that is the southern Yukon. Did it matter that we met in the Yukon? Can you relate the place(s) in which we gathered to our papers and discussions?
