Experienced teachers and authors on the history of gardens and landscapes come together in this new volume to share ideas on the future of teaching history in departments of landscape architecture, archaeology, geography and allied subjects.
Design history remains important, but this volume brings to the fore the increasing importance of environmental history, economic history, landscape history, cultural landscapes, environmental justice and decolonisation, ideas of sustainability and climate change amelioration, which may all be useful in serving the needs of a widening range of students in an increasingly complex world. The main themes include:
This book will be of interest to anyone teaching courses on landscape architecture, urban design, horticulture, garden design, architectural history, cultural geography and more.
Jan Woudstra trained in landscape architecture and horticulture in the Netherlands and at Kew and completed an MA at the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies at the University of York. His PhD in the Department of Geography at the University of London looked at modernism in twentieth-century landscape design. While working in private practice, he taught on the part-time landscape conservation course at the Architectural Association. He joined the Department of Landscape at the University of Sheffield in 1995, where he is Reader in Landscape History and Theory. He writes extensively and his publications include Jan Woudstra and Camilla Allen (eds.), The Politics of Street Trees (2022); Jonathan Finch and Jan Woudstra (eds.), Capability Brown, Royal Gardener: The Business of Place-Making in Northern Europe (2020); Jan Woudstra and Colin Roth (eds.), A History of Groves (2018).
