Atomic Homefront

Thursday, April 14, 6:00-7:30pmPeabody Auditorium (Kilpatrick 216)

Please invite students, staff, faculty, and friends!

The City of St. Louis has a little-known nuclear past as a uranium-processing center for the Atomic bomb. Government and corporate negligence led to the dumping of Manhattan Project uranium, thorium, and radium, thus contaminating North St. Louis suburbs, specifically in two communities: those nestled along Coldwater Creek – and in Bridgeton, Missouri adjacent to the West Lake-Bridgeton landfill.

In the Coldwater Creek area, residual radioactive waste was left outside in piles along Latty Avenue, a street very close to the creek. St. Louis is a flood plain so when it rained, dangerous radionuclides flooded into the creek. And inundated homes, gardens, public parks and businesses. For decades, children played in or al...

Feminist texts constantly cross borders in translation, activating various political connections and transformations on their multidirectional routes. Yet, the specifics of such global mobilities and the impact of those translational encounters have not received much scholarly attention in feminist studies or global studies. In my talk, I will discuss the role of translation in enabling global feminist solidarities by drawing on my research study that explores my Turkish translation of Hanne Blank’s Virgin (2007/2008) – a popular feminist book that demystifies the “man-made” histories of virginity in the context of western geographies – and the receptions of the translated book among feminist readers in Turkey. Comparing the US and Turkey, two unevenly positioned cultures with different virginity regimes and femini...
