Legitimating Environmental Consciousness within Urban Circles of Intellect in Florida

This digital project seeks to legitimate environmental consciousness within urban circles of intellect in Florida. I\u27m currently working on my Masters Thesis on Kathryn Abbey Hanna who I argue is Florida\u27s Forgotten Environmental Historian. She was an important historian and her contributions to the state\u27s environmental consciousness is overlooked. She was the author of three histories that promoted a progressive conservationist message, she was also an active within historical societies, woman\u27s clubs, and garden clubs, and finally she served on the Florida Board of State Parks & Historic Memorials for ten years. Most people do not realize that she is the namesake for Hanna Park. I argue in my thesis that she impacted Florida\u27s Environmental consciousness through history and her social networks, but would like to use data (source material) to legitimate the spread of knowledge
