Neall Pogue is an assistant professor of instruction at The University of Texas at Dallas. His
research, which was published as a monograph by Cornell University Press in 2022, is titled The
Nature of the Religious Right: The Struggle Between Conservative Evangelicals and the
Environmental Movement. This book is an intellectual history that offers the first historical
account delineating how politically motivated white conservative evangelicals who make up the
religious right ultimately learned to oppose environmental protection efforts including climate
change over the last fifty years. His current research explores race, consumerism and nature in
American industrial centers.
