Workshop Conceptualising the Natural Environment, photo by Olga MalkinaThe workshop was funded by grants from the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Additional funds were provided by the Centre for Russian, Central and East European Studies (CRCEES). The workshop brought together 16 papers delivered by scholars from Russia, the European Union and North America. It was hosted by the European University at St. Petersburg. At its root, the workshop was interested in exploring the various ways in which science, the state, as well as society more generally have conceptualised and managed the considerable resources of the Russian landmass since the 18th Century.
