The Atlas draws together background information\, archival materials\, accessible scholarly essays\, and artis t interventions. Grounded in the specific location of Colorado and its nuc lear materials and ecologies\, the Atlas allows users to explore the US nu clear complex and its many scales of operation\, relational geographies\, and troubling future. \n\nFollowing an introduction and short demo by the editors\, panelists will provide insight into their contributions. The eve nt will conclude with discussion on further expanding on this material in educational\, policy\, and community settings. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.

Her research studies how technology and media create infrastructures that rei nforce\, challenge\, and transform the nation state and a global public. S he uses theories and methods from science and technology studies\, media t heory\, geography\, political theory\, and art practice. Her scholarly res earch and essays have been published in Interventions\, Catalyst\, Humanit y and qui parle. Unmanning: How Humans\, Machines and Media Perform Drone Warfare (Rutgers University Press\, 2020)\, Chandler's first monograph\, e xamines failed experiments by the United States military to unman aircraft in the twentieth century. She looks at how networked parts of the drone a re entangled with gender\, race\, and nation. Unmanning is a disavowal of politics as technology that serves and obfuscates American power. Chandler 's second book\, Drone Publics\, examines the international networks that promote drone innovation in Africa. She asks how the militaristic origins of drone aircraft are refashioned through commercial projects\, humanitari anism\, and development. This research theorizes the concept of drone publ ics\, interrogating the tensions between a collective good and the rubrics of protection\, targeting\, and exploitation that persist in non-military drones. Chandler is also working on a co-authored book (with Hillary Mush kin) on arts\, politics\, and technology called Drone Archive. The project utilizes drawings and feminist art practice to engage with the histories of power and control exemplified by drone aircraft.\n\nGretchen Heefner is an Associate Professor of History at Northeastern University.
