Henrik Selin, Director of Curricular Innovation and Initiatives and Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed for an article on an executive order from United States President Donald Trump that effectively reverses many of the climate change policies established by former President Barack Obama.
