Description
This panel brings together critical perspectives on nuclear politics to examine how norms, knowledge, and practices sustain (and challenge) the nuclear status quo. The contributions explore diverse sites of engagement and resistance, from multilateral treaty processes and think tank knowledge production to grassroots activism, cultural memory, and the afterlives of nuclear infrastructures. Collectively, these papers interrogate the practices that constitute and maintain a violent status quo while illuminating the everyday dimensions of nuclear politics and the forms of contestation emerging in the nuclear age.
