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.

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. Charting the social\, economic\, and political transformations of Iraq’s capital city\, Walter examines how national policies translate into action at the local\, everyday level. This event is free and open to the public. \nFor important updates\, RSVP is highly recommended in advance. This event will include a public signing and time for audience Q&A. Sustain our author series by purchasing a copy of the featured book! \nHaving trouble registering? See Eventbrite’s troubleshooting FAQ here. \nTickets:\nThis event is free to attend. 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. With locations in Lake Forest Park and Seattle’s Ravenna and Seward Park neighborhoods\, Third Place Books is proud to serve the entire Seattle metro area.

SUMMARY:War of Words: The USSR and Cold War Linguistic Competition in Global South
DESCRIPTION:This talk argues language politics played an important role in the Global Cold War.\n\n\nThis talk argues language politics played an important role in the Global Cold War. In the aftermath of decolonization\, Soviet officials viewed themselves as having been drawn into a new field of Cold War competition with their western rivals—not only for the hearts and minds of Asian and African citizens—but also for their tongues. Soviet officials anxiously interpreted British\, American\, and French efforts to promote English and French language instruction in postcolonial Asia and Africa as a threat to their own\, emerging interests in the Global South. In response\, they developed their own project to use Russian as a form of soft power on the two continents—a project that derived heavily from the very countries whose influence it was designed to combat. The talk will highlight the USSR’s linguistic politics in the Global South in the context of the country’s broader Cold War project to make Russian into a “world language.” \nEvent Speakers: \nRachel Applebaum: Associate Professor of History\, Tufts University \nMargaret Litvin: Associate Professor of Arabic and Comparative Literature\, Boston University
