The Daily Bruin

Steve F. Hayward, the F.K. Weyerhaeuser Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, will deliver a public lecture, “Mere Environmentalism: A Biblical Perspective on Humans and the Natural World,” from 7 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11, in EHS 102.

Hayward is the author of numerous books, including Churchill on Leadership, The Real Jimmy Carter, and a two-volume biography of Ronald Reagan. He has an upcoming book titled The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents. Hayward writes regularly for popular publications such as The Weekly Standard, The National Review, and The Wall Street Journal.

Hayward visits as a guest of the Department of History and Political Science. Lisa McMinn (Sociology) and Michael MacLeod (Political Science and International Studies) will offer responses to the lecture.

Most recently, Hayward began writing for the political/general-interest blog Power Line. His expertise in environmentalism, law, economics, and public policy have garnered him attention and led to him testifying before the Committee on Energy and Commerce at the United States House on two occasions.
