SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker Series. Nuclear Weapons and the Unsettling of Sovereignty in the Marshall Islands\, 1941-1956
DESCRIPTION:US colonialism in Aelōn̄-Kein-Ad (the Marshall Islands) did not involve the annexation of territory or a large-scale migration of people\, but it nevertheless included many kinds of settlement. From the penetration of harmful radionuclides into Islanders’ bodies and ancestral atolls\, to the installation of military technological infrastructures\, to legal agreements over compensation\, the US “settled” in the Marshall Islands in numerous ways. This paper uses legal conflicts and negotiations over land expropriation to explore Islanders’ and US administrators’ competing understandings and valuations of ancestral atolls. Between 1946 and 1958\, the United States detonated 67 of its most powerful nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands\, which it controlled after World War II as a part of a one-of-a-kind\, extraterritorial status called a United Nations “strategic trusteeship.” By the mid-1950s\, the US faced growing international pressure to account legally and compensate financially for takings previously accomplished by fiat. Exploring the contours of these asymmetrical dialogues\, the paper interrogates the multiple meanings of settlement on and for contaminated ancestral atolls. The paper shows how Native lands and waters outside of the territory of the US settler state became central to the technologically-contingent global projection of US extraterritorial sovereignty after World War II. But it also highlights the fragility of that power\, showing how Islanders used conflicts over US blasting to assert their own jurisdiction and intervene in international debates about the metes and bounds of state sovereignty in a decolonizing world. \n\n\nMary X. Mitchell is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto and a visiting scholar at Northwestern University’s Buffett Institute for Global Affairs. Mitchell’s work centers on the intersections of science and technology with law and social movements in the nuclear era. Focusing on radiological risk\, her research explores the production and contestation of environmental inequality in the US and transnationally. She has held appointments as a faculty fellow at Princeton University’s Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies\, an assistant professor of history at Purdue University\, and a postdoctoral fellow in sustainability at Cornell University Law School. Before earning her PhD\, Mitchell practiced law and served as a law clerk to Judge Anthony J. Scirica of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CES Conversations on Europe. Can the EU Shut Down the Sale of Citizenship? Unpacking the Geopolitics of the Global Market in Golden Passports
DESCRIPTION:Citizenship has become a hot commodity. Now nearly a dozen countries allow wealthy individuals to naturalize in exchange for a donation or investment\, and more than 50\,000 people use such “citizenship by investment” programs to acquire “golden passports” each year. If the sale of citizenship has grabbed headlines\, much less is known about the geopolitical powerplays that define this global market. We typically think of citizenship as a status that secures rights within a country. However\, the value of citizenship by investment usually hinges on the rights that citizenship secures outside the country\, including visa-free access and business opportunities. This grants third countries and supra-national powers substantial influence over how other states admit new members. Indeed\, the European Union has become a key player in this scene\, and the European Parliament and European Commission have called for an end to these programs. Will they succeed? Drawing on eight years of fieldwork in eighteen countries\, this talk lays bare the operation of the global market in golden passports\, focusing on the geopolitical powerplays that both define and disrupt these global flows.\n   \n   Kristin Surak is Associate Professor of Political Sociology at the LSE and the author of *The Golden Passport: Global Mobility for Millionaires *(Harvard University Press\, 2023). Her research on elite mobility\, international migration\, nationalism\, and politics has been translated into a half-dozen languages. In addition to publishing in major academic and intellectual journals\, she also writes for popular outlets\, including *The Wall Street Journal\, The Washington Post*\, and *The Guardian*\, and comments regularly for the *BBC\, Bloomberg TV*\, and *Sky TV News*.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
