Greenland Roundtable
Join us for a Roundtable on Greenland Today on February 19th at 4:30 in THO 101.
Greenland is an autonomous and self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark which is a NATO ally and member of the European Union. Ninety percent of Greenland’s citizens are Inuit, and they are also citizens of Denmark. Under the second Trump administration the United States has aggressively sought to acquire Greenland with President Trump threatening the use of force against a NATO ally and an Indigenous population. Denmark has said it will invoke NATO’s Article 5 provisions and the European Union’s 42.7 mutual assistance clause if attacked, which would lead to a rupture in the trans-Atlantic alliance, and Greenlanders are actively discussing EU membership. American threats to Greenland's sovereignty have provoked a crisis for Greenlanders, for the transatlantic NATO alliance, and the European Union, and from Inuit organizations internationally while changes in the Arctic environment due to climate change are also impact…

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 Af…

UW Global Community Conversations
A monthly gathering for faculty who are engaged or interested in global work, UW Global is pleased to invite faculty from across the University of Washington who are engaged in or curious about global work to join a new monthly gathering: UW Global Community Conversations, This is not a lecture series. It is a welcoming and conversational space to meet colleagues, share food and drink, and connect around the many ways global perspectives show up in our teaching, research, and engagement. Whether your work involves international research, global learning, study abroad, visiting scholars, or exploring global issues locally, this is a place to get to know one another, exchange ideas, and build community. Each month, we’ll feature a brief, informal spotlight such as a faculty project, a new global initiative, or an international guest on campus to spark conversation. The heart of the gathering, however, is the conversation itself: time to talk, listen, make connections, and learn what others across campus are…
