Reading, listening, and reading contribution
Nicky Rehnberg
(LMU-München)
I think my biggest draw to this topic is that before I started my PhD on environmental history, I was a writing instructor at colleges and universities. I always told my students that reading, writing, listening, and speaking are all the same activity: thinking. Now that I am much more focused on my own reading, writing, listening, and speaking as I finish my dissertation, I have new reflections on what these activities look and feel like, especially when studying nature. For my research, I have needed to find ways to listen to trees, learn to read German to do research, and find ways to keep up with others' work while I write my own. Also, I just think this is a wonderful topic. This year I am based in Munich, so I think we are in the same time zone!
