Caelum Nullius: Outer Space and the Colonial Logic of Property Rights
Reimagining outer space as enclosed and privatized reinforces liberal property rights as universal and necessary to space programs. New space policies mark a return to terra nullius and a narrow conception of land-use that determines property rights. The liberal and colonial logic of property rights affirms hegemonic narratives of space as a limitless environment with no prior property claims. We analyze outer-space policies and the relationships…

Bunkerization as a fantasy of consumer sovereignty: The politics of American disaster preparation
This paper theorizes "bunkerization" as an organizing principle in American society that emerged after the atomic bombings of Japan and continues through contemporary crises. Bunkerization reconfigures domestic space as a defensive fortress through consumer choices, inverting Schmitt's definition of sovereignty from "the sovereign is he who decides in the exception" to "the sovereign is he who is decided by the exception." Three key arguments are…
Initiating and maintaining student-instructor rapport in face-to-face classes
We examined college instructors’ perceptions of the behaviors and contextual factors that allow them to initiate and maintain rapport with their students. Phenomenological interviews with 21 college instructors indicated that instructors rely on different strategies and contextual factors to initiate and to maintain rapport with students across the semester. At the beginning of the semester, these instructors rely on a variety of connecting, comm…

Data gathered from online surveys completed by undergraduates at four United States universities revealed that student perceptions of rapport can be influenced by digital distraction prevention. Participants endorsed course technology policies that are develo…

Creature Comforts: Neoliberalism and Preparing for Disaster
This article examines the ideological trends in Silicon Valley and how that influences the way Americans prepare for climatic, political, and economic disaster. The suite of ideas called the Dark Enlightenment influence the makers and designers of doomsday preparation products for the middle classes, which in turn folds addressing global instabilities into a neoliberal and anti-democratic project that emphasizes individual consumption over collec…

Drill Baby Drill: Labor, Accumulation, and the Sexualization of Resource Extraction
Sustainable Colonization: Tar Sands as Resource Colonialism
Canada is one of the world's largest petrostates, owing to large shale oil deposits, also known as tar sands, which can be found within its borders. In recent decades, as the price of crude oil has increased dramatically, corporations and the Canadian state have worked together to open the oil deposits in Northern Canada for extraction and transportation. Despite a stated commitment to environmental sustainability by the United States and Canadia…
