Georgetown Environmental History scholars Faisal Husain and Meredith Denning successfully defended their dissertations this month.
Faisal's dissertation, “The Tigris-Euphrates Basin Under Early Modern Ottoman Rule, c. 1534-1830” examines the establishment of a unified Ottoman imperial regime over the Tigris and Euphrates and the consequences of this political transition on the state, streamside communities, and the environment.
Meredith's research focuses on transboundary water management and her dissertation, "Connections and Consensus: Changing Goals for Transnational Water Management on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, 1900-1972" examines how the United States and Canada cooperated to transformed the Great Lakes during the twentieth century.
John McNeill was the primary advisor for both projects.
Congratulations Faisal and Meredith!
