The U.S. intervention in Venezuela recalls a painful history of similar actions by the United States in the region. Since the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, responses around the world have ranged from celebrations by the Venezuelan diaspora to protests against U.S. imperialism and the violation of Venezuelan sovereignty.
Underscoring the importance of historical knowledge of inter-American relations, this virtual roundtable will feature University of Washington professors Ileana Rodríguez-Silva (History) and Sebastián Rubiano-Galvis (Law, Societies & Justice), political scientist and Simón Bolivar University professor Colette Capriles, and historian of Venezuela and New York University Professor Alejandro Velasco, who will shed light on the invasion.

UW Global Month
The production and promotion of so-called "AI" technology involves dehumanization on many fronts: the computational metaphor valorizes one kind of cognitive activity as “intelligence,” devaluing many other aspects of human experience while taking an isolating, individualistic view of agency, ignoring the importance of communities and webs of relationships. Meanwhile, the purpose of humans is framed as being labelers of data or interchangeable machine components. Data collected about people is understood as "ground truth" even while it lies about those people, especially marginalized people. In this talk, Bender will explore these processes of dehumanization and the vital role that the humanities have in resisting these trends by painting a deeper and richer picture of what it is to be human.
Emily M. Bender is the Thomas L. and Margo G. Wyckoff Endowed Professor in Linguistics and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Computer Science and the Information School at the University of Washington, where she has…

Marie Huber | Postcolonial Skies: How African airlines shaped global mobilities
UW Global Month
At the Jackson School, opportunities and events are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.
The ability to move around the world by plane is one we take for granted today. Yet, most of the world's population has never set foot on a plane. The tension between opportunity and constraint sits at the very core of the history of civil aviation: opening up the world for some, but barring or downgrading many from full connection. The book project "The Problem of Flying" takes on the history of mass air travel from one of its margins and explores how, after decolonisation, African airlines managed (or failed to) to break into a global market that was not designed for them to begin with. Based on several years of archival research in European, African and US-American archives, as well as a wide range of grey literature and published sources (trade journals, newspapers, memoirs etc.), I argue that my findings do not only fill gaps on Africa in aviation history, and gaps on aviation in A…
