Sunil Amrith is the Renu and Anand Dhawan Professor of History at Yale University and professor at the Yale School of the Environment. He is the author of four books, including his most recent, Burning Earth and is the recipient of multiple awards, including a MacArthur “genius” fellowship. Amrith was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and grew up in Singapore, where his parents moved when he was a baby. Growing up at a crossroads of trade and migration left him with a deep interest in how cultures meet and mix. He currently lives in Hamden, Connecticut with his wife, Ruth Coffey, and their two children. When Sunil is not teaching or writing, his great love is jazz.
