SUMMARY:A New History of the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year
DESCRIPTION:Professor Ben Goossen will discuss a history of the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year.\n\n\nKnowledge of planet Earth as a set of interconnected environmental systems is fundamental to present-day efforts to address global environmental challenges\, including climate change. Among the most consequential projects in the history of Earth science was the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year (IGY)\, a crash program to study the planet through worldwide collaboration. In the midst of the Cold War and global decolonization\, tens of thousands of scientists and citizen volunteers from East and West\, North and South\, crossed political and ideological lines for the IGY. What they discovered shapes much of what we know about our common planetary home today. \nA paper will be pre-circulated.

SUMMARY:NBAS: State Building in Cold War Asia
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sigur Center to hear GW alumna Dr. Qingfei Yin discuss her new book State Building in Cold War Asia.\n\n\nHow did two Cold War-era revolutionary states—China and Vietnam—and their people collaborate and compete along their shared border? GW alumna Qingfei Yin dove into archives to unearth the intersections of grand strategy and daily life in China and Vietnam\, 1949–1976. \nZoom webinar link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82352435507?pwd=wrbxaqbTMY3qbysu0m8bRhYi96Uira.1.

Her first book State Building in Cold War Asia: Comrades and Competitors on the Sino-Vietnamese Border (Cambridge University Press\, 2024) weave together international\, national\, and transnational-local histories to present a new approach to the highly volatile Sino-Vietnamese relations\, centering on the two modernizing revolutionary powers’ competitive and collaborative state building on the borderlands and local responses to it. Subsequent projects are a history of China’s ocean shipping industry and the historical memory of the Sino-Vietnamese Cold War partnership in the two countries. Her research has been funded by the Association for Asian Studies China and Inner Asia Council and the Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS Program in China Studies. \nQingfei is an alumna of the LSE-Peking University Double MSc in International Affairs Programme.

SUMMARY:Alissa Walter presents 'Contested City'
DESCRIPTION:A history of state-society relations in Baghdad\, exploring how city residents managed through periods of economic growth\, sanctions\, and war\n\n\nContested City offers a history of state-society relations in Baghdad\, exploring how city residents managed through periods of economic growth\, sanctions\, and war\, from the oil boom of the 1950s through the withdrawal of US troops in 2011\n \nThird Place Books is pleased to welcome Seattle Pacific University professor Alissa Walter to our Lake Forest Park store for a presentation of her new book\, Contested City: Citizen Advocacy and Survival in Modern Baghdad.

RSVP is recommended in advance. \nAbout Contested City. . .\nContested City offers a history of state-society relations in Baghdad\, exploring how city residents managed through periods of economic growth\, sanctions\, and war\, from the oil boom of the 1950s through the withdrawal of US troops in 2011. Interactions between citizens and their rulers shaped the social fabric and political realities of the city. Notably\, low-ranking Ba’th party officials functioned as crucial intermediaries\, deciding how regime policies would be applied. Charting the social\, economic\, and political transformations of Iraq’s capital city\, Alissa Walter examines how national policies translated into action at the local\, everyday level. \nWith this book\, Walter reveals how authoritarian governance worked in practice. She follows shifts in mid-century housing and urban development\, the impact of the Iran–Iraq and Gulf Wars on city life\, and the manipulation of food rations and growth of black markets. Reading citizen petitions to the government\, Walter illuminates citizens’ self-advocacy and the important role of low-ranking party officials and state bureaucrats embedded within neighborhoods. The US occupation and ensuing sectarian fighting upended Baghdad’s neighborhoods through violent displacement and the collapse of basic state services. This power vacuum paved the way for new power brokers\, including militias and neighborhood councils\, to compete for influence on the local level. \n \n \nAlissa Walter is an Associate Professor of History at Seattle Pacific University. She earned her MA in Arab Studies and her PhD in Middle Eastern History from Georgetown University in Washington\, DC. She traveled frequently to Iraq for her research\, and has spent significant time in Egypt\, Jordan\, and Morocco. Walter regularly volunteers as an expert witness for Iraqi asylum seekers in Washington. Walter has deep roots in the Pacific Northwest: her husband was born and raised in the area\, and they are now raising their two kids to experience all the natural beauty that the Northwest offers. Walter is a resident of Shoreline\, WA. \n \n \nAbout Third Place Books\nFounded in 1998 in Lake Forest Park\, Washington\, Third Place Books is dedicated to the creation of a community around books and the ideas inside them.
