AS A GLOBAL STUDIES PROGRAM, WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING YOU WITH A BROAD AND ALSO NUANCED UNDERSTANDING OF OUR INTERCONNECTED WORLD, AND TO EXPLORING THE DIVERSITY AND RICHNESS OF CULTURES.Check out our core course: Global Futures!L97 GS 3020 Global Futures In this core Global Studies (GS) course, students will develop a broad understanding of our interconnected world by exploring a series of global issues that may include but are not limited to: border crossing and forced migration, climate change, human rights, inequality, or war and conflict. We will study these issues and their interrelated qualities from a variety of perspectives and intellectual frameworks. Students will situate major developments in a historical and cultural perspective and identify and understand discipline-specific methodologies as well as the benefits and challenges of a transdisciplinary approach. Throughout the semester students will attain a shared, critical vocabulary and theoretical expertise that will enable them to bring together the range of approaches - quantitative, qualitative, mixed - used in other GS courses. Students will also hone argumentation and communication skills for their post-graduation careers, and different forms of community engagement in global contexts. This course is required for all GS majors matriculating in Fall 2023.

Bea AddisFuture Imaginaries of the Amazon Rainforest in a Context of Climate CrisisBio  Bea spent the first 10 years of her career helping launch several start-ups working across sustainability, design, tech and culture. In 2019 she made a radical career shift and moved to Amsterdam to do a research masters in Anthropology where she spent 4 months researching local understandings and responses to climate change in a small town on the so-called ‘typhoon-belt’ and the ‘frontlines’ of climate change. She is now in the 4th year of a PhD programme at WashU also in Anthropology researching at the intersection of tech, futures and climate.     Project  This project will compare future imaginaries of the Amazon Rainforest, in a context of climate crisis, that stem from Amazonian inhabitants versus those that come from an outsider, ‘techno-solutionist’ standpoint. This will be achieved through running a series of workshops firstly with diverse inhabitants of the Brazilian Amazon (including community leaders, indigenous peoples and environmental activists) and secondly with representatives of climate tech start-ups and their ecosystems. These workshops will employ creative methodologies to explore the various future imaginaries held by participants, with the aim of investigating and illuminating the differing logics and discourse engaged in these imaginaries. The results of each workshop will be analysed to compare how the imaginaries of each group align or diverge, also asking which visions of a “good life” they prioritise, whether anything is forgotten or obscured, and the ways in which power and inequality may affect and influence even the imagination. This project aims to explore the role of imagination in a commitment to supporting possible futures rather than further constellating those already predicted or deemed most probable (which often involve catastrophic outcomes to communities on the frontlines of climate change). Global decarbonization efforts continue to lean heavily on techno-fixes, such as the carbon credit market, which bring specific imaginaries and proposals for the future of people, places and projects in the global south into their calculations of decarbonization in the global north. Thus, any conversation about Just Futures in the Global North must also include the future imaginaries of those from the Global South.    Sarah María MedinaAvant-Garde Ecopoetic Networks in San Cristobal de Las Casas: Gertrude Duby Blom´s Photographs of the Lacandón Rainforest Bio Sarah María Medina studies and translates avant-garde poetry written in Spanish. Her interdisciplinary research interests include avant-garde poetics, decolonial translation theory, ecofeminism, affect theory, and queer ecology. Medina´s writing and translations have been published in Poetry Magazine, Asymptote, Prelude, Black Warrior Review, and elsewhere. Her work is also found in Nepantla: An Anthology Dedicated to Queer Poets of Color (Nightboat Books, 2018), and in Queer Nature: A Poetry Anthology, centering LGBTQIA+ voices in a collection of contemporary nature poetry (Autumn House Press, 2022). Medina received her Bachelor of Arts in Comparative History of Ideas at University of Washington in Seattle, a Master of Fine Arts in poetry at Washington University, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in the International Writers Track in the Comparative Literature department at Washington University in St. Louis. A recipient of a Divided City Graduate summer research fellowship, her work focuses on the body poetics of Nahui Olin and Anita Brenner in Mexico City´s avant-garde, and the relationship between the body and nature, framing these works within a decolonial, ecofeminist, and queer urban ecological lens. Recently, she was awarded a Global Futures grant from Global Studies, where she will research avant-garde ecopoetic networks in San Cristobal de Las Casas, México, considering primitivism and ecocriticism in the photographs of the environmentalist, Gertrude ¨Duby¨ Blom, whose archives are located in Southern Mexico. Medina´s methodology draws on Latin American feminist theory, and ecofeminist-affect theory, considering the environmental impact on the body, placing transnational poetics in relation to experimental photography. The research is intersectional, considering inter-imperiality, sexuality, race, and the coloniality of gender, alongside queer ecologies.      About the Project My research analyzes experimental poetic networks during the artistic period of the historical avant-garde (1909-1940s), but for the purposes of this research, extends into the 1970s, mapping a neglected transnational feminine genealogy of artists. While the research considers the triangulation of Paris, Martinique, and Mexico City, due to the transatlantic travel that occurred between the cities, the main node of this constellation is Mexico City, which hosted an international network of artists, who later circulated in San Cristobal de la Casas. The Swiss-born photographer Gertrude ¨Duby¨ Blom [1901-1993] who was in political exile, fleeing the war in Europe, and moving to Mexico in 1940, eventually settled in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. An environmentalist, she spent much of her life photographing the Lacandones, Indigenous Mayans, in the rainforest of Chiapas, documenting the environmental degradation of their ecosystems. The research question for my project is how did ecofeminism manifest in the work of Gertrude Duby Blom´s photographs of the Lacandón, and how does her work create an important intervention in the current Eurocentric narrative of the historical avant-garde? Furthermore, from a decolonial perspective, how did primitivism play a role in her work?  I will visit the archive, which holds Blom´s work, located in the library of Casa Na Balom in San Cristobal de Las Casas, the research center overseen by Asociación Cultural Na Balom, a non-profit organization devoted to protecting the Lacandones Maya and the Chiapanecan rainforest. Chenxi LuoBondage in the Age of Mobility: Slavery, Gender, and Migration in Early Qing ChinaBio   Chenxi Luo is a Ph.D. candidate in the History Department at Washington University in St. Louis. She was born in China where she received her bachelor's degree in Beijing and master's degree in Shanghai before coming to St. Louis. Now she is finishing her dissertation titled “Bondage in the Age of Mobility: Slavery, Gender, and Migration in Early Qing China,” exploring Qing slavery from the perspective of migration and spatiality. She has rich experience in conducting archival and library research both in China and the United States. She writes in Chinese and English, while keeping her intellectual curiosity in learning and reading minoritized languages.    About the Project  My research project titled “Bondage in the Age of Mobility: Slavery, Gender, and Migration in Early Qing China” is a study of slavery through the lens of mobility in Manchu-ruled Qing China between 1636 and 1800. It investigates how the Manchu institution of slavery was maintained in a mobile empire marked by frequent expeditions and violent encounters with ethnic others. This project rewrites the Qing conquest of China, one of the most important political events in early modern East Asia, as a geographical relocation: fifty thousand Manchu soldiers and their Han Chinese slaves moved from Manchuria to China proper. By examining legal cases concerning emigrant masters, left-behind slaves, women slaves with bound feet, and itinerant human traders, I argue that geographical movement transformed the social relationships between masters and slaves in the post-migration era. Enslaved people, women in particular, were spatially savvy and were able to employ new geopolitical conditions to challenge restrictions and negotiate autonomy. Throughout, my project from a non-Western standpoint provides a case study of slavery in a fluid and moving empire.   News & AnnouncementsGlobal Futures Workshop with Paul Amar Global Futures Lecture with Professor Kimberly Kay Hoang New Global Studies Core Course: Global Futures ‘Global Futures’ Workshop Series and Grants Program Announced Quick LinksResourcesEventsOur PeopleContactAdditional information Arts & Sciences Graduate Studies in A&SCopyright 2024 by:Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. LouisFollow Us Instagram Facebook Contact Us: Global Studies [email protected] Visit the main Washington University in St. Louis website1 Brookings Drive / St. Louis, MO 63130 / wustl.edu
