John Wing
PhD candidate, Department of History, University of Minnesota
(MA, Department of Geography, Rutgers University, 2004)
"Guernica Oak and Galleon Hull:
Exploring forest resource conflicts in Spain's early modern empire, 1550-1750"
John received his master's degree from the Rutgers Geography Department in 2004 and is now pursuing a PhD at the University of Minnesota in environmental history. In this informal presentation he will share his project on Spanish forestry. He will discuss how the Guernica oak and the galleon hull can be viewed as symbols of a struggle over access and management of valuable forest resources during a crucial period of early modern state formation. The galleon was the storied ship of Spain's imperial treasure fleet, while the Guernica oak was the gathering point of the Basque regional assembly. Provincial assemblies throughout Spain resisted the crown telling them how to manage their trees, having developed their own complex systems of usage rights over centuries. Spain had a very limited timber resource base for such a large empire and conflicts over forest access often arose between local communities and the crown’s representatives.

Ph.D. Candidate

"All Roads Lead to Las Tunas: Demystifying Critical Field Research"
Bradley Wilson is returning from one year of field research in Nicaragua studying the social and political implications of the transnational campaign for fair-trade certified coffee. In this informal presentation he will talk about the chance encounters that led him to a substantive research project running parallel to his fair-trade research. His talk will center on the landless coffee workers movement in Nicaragua from 1999-2004 known as the Las Tunas movement which emerged in the shadow of the world depression in coffee prices and the rise of fair-trade certification. Members of the Las Tunas movement fundamentally reshaped his understanding of fair-trade certification in the coffee industry.
