DESCRIPTION:"The Forgotten Canopy: Ecology\, Ephemeral Architecture\, and I
	mperialism in the Caribbean\, South American\, and Transatlantic Worlds" i
	s the 2022–23 Core Program hosted by the UCLA Center for 17th– & 18th-Cent
	ury Studies and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. This series of con
	ferences will convene scholars around the topics of “Ecology\,” “Ephemeral
	 Architecture\,” and “Imperialism” in the early modern (16th–19th-century)
	 world. The circum-Caribbean is our starting point\; specifically\, we use
	 this term to refer to the deep connections between the peoples and places
	 of the Caribbean and South America\, along with parts of North America. D
	ue to national politics\, language barriers\, and scholarly divisions that
	 have their roots in the European colonization of the Americas\, the long 
	and complex history of exchange among these regions and peoples have been 
	greatly understudied. Using ephemeral architecture\, in particular the com
	plex and exquisite creation of thatch roofs as the leading thread in these
	 tapestries of exchange\, this series of conferences highlight the profoun
	d ways in which environmental practices\, botanical knowledge\, technologi
	cal development\, architectural innovation\, and creative expression were 
	deeply tied across these distinct regions and peoples\, and shaped by impe
	rial actions. \n\nOur first conference\, “Ecology\,” explores the complex 
	and dynamic ecologies from which ephemeral architecture arises in the Indi
	genous circum-Caribbean and its transformation with the arrival of African
	s and Europeans (with their flora\, fauna and technologies). Scholars from
	 a diversity of disciplines and countries are brought together to explore 
	and challenge a variety of perspectives and theoretical approaches to loca
	l and cross regional ecologies and histories\, from unique plants and cult
	ural knowledge to complex ecosystems and critical human interventions. \n\
