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.
