18 min - Exploring Nuclear Shadows: A People's Atlas of Nuclear Colorado
Dr. Shiloh Krupar and Sarah Kanouse join us to discuss their project A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado, which explores Colorado as a microcosm of the U.S. nuclear apparatus. Using art, personal narrative, and scholarly reflections, the Atlas exposes the harmful externalities of the wide range of nuclear activities that Colorado has housed. We also discuss the role of critical theories in nuclear policymaking and their hopeful takes on the future of disrupting the nuclear status quo.
58 min - Ward Wilson: A Realist Guide to Eliminating Nuclear Weapons

39 min - Post-Colonial and Feminist Imaginaries in Nuclear Politics
Dr. Catherine Eschle and Dr. Shine Choi join us to discuss the intersection between nuclear weapons, feminism, and postcolonialism. Given that nuclear politics are often centered on great power competition and militarism from the perspective of the Global North, Dr. Eschle and Dr. Choi highlight scholarship from the Global South as the locus for nuclear dialogues centered on alternative understandings of power, positionality, and empathy in global nuclear dialogues.

1 hr 32 min - They Lost Em: The Nuclear Pasts of Libya and South Africa
This episode concludes our series on the three different categories of actors when it comes to nuclear states: those that have, those that want, and those that gave up nuclear weapons. Although many countries have pursued nuclear weapons to different degrees, South Africa and Libya are the only two to ever give up their nuclear weapons. In this episode, we walk through the very different contexts behind South African and Libyan disarmament as well as critical perspectives on these decisions.

- Explosive Art: Creativity, Justice, and Nuclear WeaponsIn this episode, we interview Molly Hurley, a Wagoner Fellow from Rice University in Houston, TX, a Nuclear Program Fellow with The Prospect Hill Foundation, and Fellowship Associate with Beyond the Bomb. She currently works as an independent researcher studying nuclear weapons issues, their intersectionality with many other social justice issues, and the role that artwork could play in carrying on stories and messages about the atrocities committed for the sake of nuclear development and dominance.

- Weapons, Waste, and Technology: Nukes, Oh My!This week’s episode looks at nuclear issues such as proliferation, technology, and energy from critical perspectives. We unpack the history of nuclear issues in international relations and traditional conceptions of nuclear weapons/technology in Western foreign policies. However, critical perspectives such as Marxism, Green Theory, Decolonialism/Postcolonialism, and Critical Race Theory highlight why traditional nuclear policy is detrimental to marginalized communities and why nuclear issues should be considered in everyday politics.The Nuclear Taboo: The United States and the Normative Basis of Nuclear Non-Use, by Nina TannenwaldHow Strong is the Nuclear Taboo Today?
