ISA 2021 GDS Panels & Roundtables ISA 2021 GDS Panels & Roundtables @GLOBALDEV_ISA www.gdsisa.org April 6th 8:00am-9:15am @GLOBALDEV_ISA www.gdsisa.org TA13: Frantz Fanon and International Politics: A Cross- Disciplinary Examination of his Life and Work When: Tuesday, April 6, 8:00 AM – 9:15 AM Where: Don, ISA Virtual Platform Sponsored By ▪ International Political Sociology ▪ Global Development ▪ Theory Chairs and Discussants ▪ Chair: Emma Kast (Aberystwyth University) ▪ Chair: Sarah Then Bergh (Cornell University) ▪ Discussant: Shiera Malik (DePaul University) Papers Revolutionary Bodies in Motion: Freedom Violence and Power in Frantz Fanon and Hannah Arendt ▪ Author: Sarah Then Bergh (Cornell University) Race, class and imperialism from Fanon’s perspective ▪ Author: Emma Kast (Aberystwyth University) Climate Imaginaries and the Politics of Land in Frantz Fanon’s Writing ▪ Author: Lauren Siegel (Cornell University) Abstract and Keywords Frantz Fanon is a highly referenced thinker throughout various critical disciplines of international politics and cultural studies. Many scholars in Africana studies, political economy, critical race theory, psychoanalysis, international relations and postcolonial studies claim that he is groundbreaking in their fields. While this speaks to the breadth and influence of Fanon as a political figure, we also wonder the extent to which he has been incorporated into various disciplines in ways that are true to his own writing and life. This panel takes the opportunity to read and re- read Fanon, reflecting on his life, work and contributions to different areas of international politics. We examine various themes in Fanon’s writings, including his understanding of vitality, the body, anti-colonial violence, recognition, race, class and capitalism. We put his work into conversation with thinkers such as Hannah Arendt, Karl Marx, Suzanne Césaire, and Fred Moten. In doing so, we hope to trace and evaluate the genealogy of Fanon’s contributions to the most central themes of international politics today, while also contextualizing his politics and interrogating some of the mythos surrounding his work.

Multiple Decolonialities ▪ Author: Marcos Sebastian Scauso (Quinnipiac University) House of IR: Native Informants and the Tipi ▪ Author: Justin de Leon (University of Notre Dame) Abstract and Keywords Latin America is most commonly associated with and thought through the Coloniality/Modernity/Decoloniality Research Group. While scholars have increasingly challenged this analytic lens and moved beyond its initial delineations, it has also been unevenly taken up in the region. In Brazil, for example, the Group has gained limited albeit growing traction, especially within academic circles. Postcolonial Theory has an even more limited track record in the region, and Settler Colonial Studies has only recently and tentatively been expanded to the region. In this panel, we propose to take stock of the state of these different approaches in the study of Latin America, teasing out their complementarities and incommensurabilities. Our aim is to explore the limits and contributions of these different approaches, by comparing and contrasting some of them and/or by pushing at their boundaries. The papers included do so not only from a regional but a global perspective, placing Latin America in dialogue with other post- and settler colonial regions of the world. Through this focus, the panel explores the contributions that Latin America makes to theorizing global politics from decolonial, postcolonial, settler colonial, and anti-colonial perspectives. This is particularly timely considering that the latter three have generally neglected this region. Indigenous Peoples; Postcolonialism; Latin America @GLOBALDEV_ISA www.gdsisa.org TA01: Innovation for Inclusive Development When: Tuesday, April 6, 8:00 AM – 9:15 AM Where: Ubangi, ISA Virtual Platform Sponsored By ▪ Global Development Chairs and Discussants ▪ Chair: Jessi Hanson-DeFusco (University of Pittsburgh) Papers The Developmentalization of the Unbanked in Morocco: The illusion of financial inclusion ▪ Author: Salah Hamdoun (Arizona State University) Product Design of Neonatal Incubators in Cameroon: A Case Study in South-South Innovation ▪ Author: Eric Stribling (l’Universite des Montagnes) Is Outsourcing Education the Answer: The Case of Liberia ▪ Author: Damita Kaloostian (Arizona State University) Cautioning Entrepreneurship as the path to Refugee Socioeconomic Inclusion ▪ Author: Brittany McCall (Arizona State University) Abstract and Keywords As a result of neoliberal policies and technological advances over the last several decades, the world’s financial, industrial, educational, and health systems have become increasingly interconnected. This has improved trade, capital, and accessibility to technology that seemingly promises both increased economic growth and societal well-being. But how do social, political, and technological innovations address social inclusion in the Global South? This panel moves beyond the normative narrative in order to produce new discourses that challenge the visible and invisible components that govern lived realities in the Global South. We will discuss the meaning of innovation as well as discuss the decoupling of innovation from modernization allowing for a non-linear approach to methods, processes, and policy design. Second, we aim to challenge the current temporal dimension in which the concept of innovation is placed. Third, we approach innovation in development non-linearly to address knowledge production in the Global South. These five papers will provide perspectives and arguments that offer critiques on development policies and concepts. The questions in the papers are centered around social inclusion, underserved communities, and the structural changes required to ensure that policy moves closer to producing meaningful equity.

Marshall Beier (McMaster University) On Remorse: Claude Eatherly and the Bombing of Hiroshima ▪ Author: Anne Harrington (Cardiff University) Nuclear History as Humanity’s Heritage ▪ Author: Elif Kalaycioglu (University of Alabama) Imagine the consequences: Exploring the use of fictional films in augmenting our nuclear memory ▪ Author: Rebekah Pullen (McMaster University) Abstract and Keywords Nevada, the site of the 2021 ISA, was a part of the US Atomic West that witnessed many years of nuclear testing. Countless memories and stories of this past are held within the radioactive traces of its landscapes, in the bodies and experiences of nuclear soldiers, workers, and downwinders exposed to tests, and in historic sites and museums in the state. Inspired by this history, this panel begins with the insight that the ways we remember our nuclear pasts shape the stories we tell about nuclear weapons, which, in turn, affect our approaches to nuclear policy. Each paper takes up a different story about the nuclear past, from Nevada’s testing history as told in the National Atomic Testing Museum and the colonial story of testing in the Marshall Islands, to stories about the bombing of Hiroshima as told within dominant US histories of the bomb as well as in peace initiatives at the Hiroshima Peace Park in Japan. Interrogating the memories etched within those stories, the papers reveal the selective remembrances and erasures in storytelling, the role of the imagination in filling in gaps in memory, and the kinds of politics and pedagogies such narratives of the past produce.

It will refer to different levels of fame and how certain challenges are present within those levels. Oftentimes the general public is not aware of the degree to which musicians face stress from their line of work. Conflict with bandmates, record labels, and sometimes the public often compound other issues musicians are already dealing with. The pressures of touring and low income can be emotionally draining for many.

  • HAPPY FOO YEAR: “NO SON of MINE” SECOND TRACK from FORTHCOMING 10Th ALBUM out NOW MEDICINE at MIDNIGHT AVAILABLE for PRE-ORD
    HAPPY FOO YEAR: “NO SON OF MINE” SECOND TRACK FROM FORTHCOMING 10th ALBUM OUT NOW MEDICINE AT MIDNIGHT AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT http://foofighters.co/MAM Foo Fighters are ringing in 2021—literally—with the ear-ringing new “No Son of Mine.” The second track to be revealed from the band’s forthcoming 10th album Medicine at Midnight (out February 5th on Roswell Records/RCA Records), “No Son of Mine” is now available to stream or download, or as an instant grat track with pre-orders placed at foofighters.co/MAM “No Son of Mine” ignites the second half of Medicine at Midnight with a lightning strike of a riFF that builds into the album’s most full-on barnstormer. Replete with nods to familiar FF influences from Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy” to Ace of Spades/Iron Fist-era Motörhead to Metallica's Kill ‘Em All, “No Son of Mine” features a streamlined, minimalist chassis of searing Grohl, Smear and Shiflett licks atop a steel-trap-tight Hawkins/Mendel rhythmic frame. "This is the kind of song that just resides in all of us and if it makes sense at the time, we let it out,” Grohl explains, adding, "Lyrically it’s meant to poke at the hypocrisy of self-righteous leaders, people that are guilty of committing the crimes they’re supposedly against…” Medicine at Midnight is produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, engineered by Darrell Thorp and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and packs the following nine songs into a tight-ass 37 minutes: Making a Fire Shame Shame Cloudspotter Waiting on a War Medicine at Midnight No Son of Mine Holding Poison Chasing Birds Love Dies Young Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, and Rami Jaffee.

    Jay-Z, Foo Fighters and Mary J. Blige Among Rock Hall Nominees Seven of this yearʼs 16 nominees are women, including the Go-Goʼs, Dionne Warwick, Kate Bush, Carole King, Chaka Khan and Tina Turner. Jay-Z in concert. Heʼs on the list of nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame released Wednesday.Brian Ach/Getty Images North America, via (Credit Too Long, See Caption) By Ben Sisario Feb. 10, 2021 Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Iron Maiden and the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti are all first-time nominees for the 36th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the hall announced on Wednesday. They lead a group of 16 nominees, including several who have received nods at least twice before: Devo, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine and Todd Rundgren. After many complaints that the hallʼs hundreds of inductees over the years have been overwhelmingly white and male, this yearʼs ballot is its most diverse yet. Seven of the 16 nominees are female acts, and nine feature artists of color. Women on the ballot include the Go-Goʼs and Dionne Warwick — both receiving their first nods — along with Kate Bush, Carole King, Chaka Khan and Tina Turner. This yearʼs induction ceremony is planned for the fall in Cleveland, home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. To some extent, the latest crop of nominees extends a pattern that has taken hold over the last half-decade or so, with a handful of alt-rock heroes and rap gods as all-but-guaranteed sure things; Foo Fighters and Jay-Z have just crossed the hallʼs eligibility threshold of 25 years since the release of their first commercial recordings.
