About Us

Welcome to the online home of the Environmental Humanities at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg. This website will surface and support the EH work happening within the university and beyond. However, right now we are just getting started, and this site is still a work in progress.

Please do check back in as as we grow and watch this space for exciting developments coming soon.
