Heather Roller, professor of history and environmental studies at Colgate University, will give a talk on "Legacy Chemicals: A Half Century of Pesticides in American Farming and Rural Life" as part of the Dirty History workshop.

Dirty History is an interdisciplinary workshop for scholars working at the intersection of agriculture, environment, and capitalism.

Dirty History workshops are attended mainly by faculty and graduate students from UGA and area universities. The authors whose work we discuss come from all over. Participants should come having read the papers in advance. 

To receive the papers, Zoom links, or to be added to the listserv, please email srnelson@uga.edu.

Sponsored by the UGA department of history, the B. Phinizy Spalding Professorship, and the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts.
