Professor
 University of Wisconsin-Madison nelangst @ wisc.edu (email is the best way to reach me) On leave 2009-2010. Please email me for the best mailing address or phone numbers. I am an environmental historian, examining the shared history of people and the environment. My current research explores the intersections between environmental health, climate change, and forestry, focusing on North American boreal forests. You can read more about this project here. I have recently completed Toxic Bodies: Hormone Disruptors and the Legacy of DES (forthcoming, Yale University Press, 2010). Toxic Bodies examines the history of synthetic chemicals that disrupt hormones and the struggle for a precautionary principle to protect human and environmental health. You can read more about this book here. If you are interested in doing graduate research under my direction, please first read my graduate student research page before contacting me. Note that I will be on leave during the academic year 2009-2010, and therefore unlikely to accept incoming students for that year. I am Professor in the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology with a joint appointment in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. I am an affiliate in the Center for Culture, History, and Environment, and I also have an affiliate appointment in the History Department |
