Kick-off Workshop
June 2, 2025
Geneva Graduate Institute
We launched our project with a one-day kick-off workshop that brought together scholars from diverse fields related to environmental and labour history. In a spirit of collaboration, our colleagues generously shared their time, expertise, and thoughtful feedback, helping us refine our research questions, methodological approach, and archival strategies.
