Susan McHugh Joins Editorial Board of Environment and History

Susan McHugh, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of English, will join the Editorial Board of the scholarly journal Environment and History for a three-year term beginning in January 2014.

Environment and History is an interdisciplinary journal which aims to bring scholars in the humanities and biological sciences closer together, with the deliberate intention of constructing long and well-founded perspectives on present day environmental problems.

Noting McHugh's deeply interdisciplinary work in literary and biological extinction narratives, incoming Editor in Chief Karen Jones said, "It is fabulous to add a prominent human-animal studies scholar to the Board."
