As our annual breakfast rapidly approaches once again, we are making our push to do a little spring cleaning and to bring some momentum back to our work here. The last few years of learning and connecting and understanding are ready to crystalize into exciting new ideas, opportunities, and adventures for our project.

There has always been the breakfast – the initial gathering of minds for teachers, researchers, and policy makers who seek to promote scholarship on the history of the relationship between armed forces and the environment. Over time, we have collected and developed teaching resources, bibliographies, our members list, related networks, related events, and scholarly reviews. We have also discussed the possibilities of working groups, writing prompts, peer reviews, video discussion sessions, redesigning and rebranding, among many other ideas.

In order to continue to grow well, we turn to you. What can we do and develop more of to help you in your research and professional goals? How would you like to participate in our project? Who do you know that might be surprised and delighted to learn that this project exists?

Thank you for being here with us.
