John R. McNeill, professor in the department of history and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University will speak at Loyola University New Orleans on Feb. 8, 2010, at the President’s Forum on Current Issues and Controversies. The forum takes place at 7:30 p.m., in Nunemaker Auditorium and is free and open to the public.
McNeil, who teaches world history, environmental history and international history, studies and writes about how climate change affects historical events. He is the author of several books, including an upcoming tome to be published in 2010, "Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean, 1640-1914." In "Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the 20th-Century World," McNeil describes environmental change around the world for the past century, with an effort to explain why the modern era has been so environmentally turbulent.
