Grégory Quenet
Grégory Quenet is Professor of Environmental History at UVSQ-Paris Saclay University, Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France and holder of the Laudato si' Chair "For a New Exploration of the Earth" at the Collège des Bernardins. Considered one of the pioneers of environmental history in France, he worked on natural disasters in the modern era, then wrote an intellectual history of environmental history, and finally ecologized an emblematic place in French history, the Château de Versailles. His current work focuses, on the one hand, on islands and globalization and, on the other, on what climate does to history.
