At the height of the Second World War, the British Empire launched an ambitious campaign to eradicate locusts in East Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. This workshop brings together an historian, an entomologist, an artist and an ecologist to discuss their collaborative research on this campaign and the challenges of interdisciplinary work.
