James E. Fickle
Dr. Fickle is a premiere scholar of environmental history. He has been published
widely on land management, forestry, and the institutionalization of forestry management.
In 2005 alone he published three books. One nominator wrote that Dr. Fickle’s work
has “opened up new perspectives on class tensions and racial dynamics of Southern
lumber towns.” Governmental and scholarly institutions regularly turn to Dr. Fickle
to write their histories, again demonstrating his reputation as one of, if not the,
leading scholar of forestry in the United States. While continuing his duties at the
University of Memphis, Dr. Fickle has served as visiting professor of Forest and Conservation
History at Yale University for the past two years after being chosen to write a history
of Yale’s forestry program, the oldest in the United States.
