Can Heritage Speak? Demystifying European Colonial Heritage Through Relational Narration
Western Sahara as a design project
This paper excavates the spatial politics of Moroccan settler colonialism in Western Sahara between 1975 and 2010. Taking the 2010 Gdeim Izik protest, as a starting point, the paper maps Morocco’s spatial strategies of conquest in Laâyoune and Western Sahara. The Moroccan government refashioned Western Sahara as part of ‘Greater Morocco’ to be pursued through what Samia Henni terms the architecture of counterrevolution, the production, destructio…
Where is the Nuclear Waste? Expanding Nuclear Politics
This paper challenges International Relations (IR) scholars to take a more expansive approach to nuclear politics by calling attention to the destructive and underappreciated effects of nuclear waste, the byproduct of making, detonating, and maintaining nuclear weapons. By underscoring the significance of nuclear waste to questions of nuclear violence, we highlight the potential for interdisciplinary scholarship on nuclear waste to expand the ran…
Settler colonialism within the settler state
This paper frames Morocco as a settler state in order to map how the structural logic of settler colonialism persists through the transformation of the built environment in contemporary Casablanca. Rather than focus on commonly-referenced settler states, such as Israel or America, this paper analyzes Morocco, where formal decolonization occurred through the end of the French Protectorate 1956, but there has been an ongoing settler colonial projec…

Remaking the ‘World’ in the World Heritage List
This article explores the entanglements of settler colonialism with the integration of the 20th century-built environment onto the UNESCO World Heritage List by focusing on architectural preservation in Brasilia. The addition of Brasilia to the World Heritage List in 1987 was the realisation of a longstanding effort to enhance institutional legitimacy by expanding the representation of 20th century sites in geographies from the Global South. Howe…
Building the United Nations Headquarters as Worldmaking? Settler Colonialism, Modernist Architecture, and the Material Infrastructure for the Post-World WarII Order
What does it mean for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) building to be designed through modernist architecture principles on land acquired through settler colonialism? In 1947, construction began on the United Nations Headquarters (UNHQ) in Manhattan, a name derived from Manna-hata, a site within Lenapehoking, the homeland of Indigenous Lenape peoples violently displaced by waves of Dutch, British, and American settlers starting in the 1…
Producing World Heritage in the White City Tel Aviv
This paper engages with the political and spatial implications of UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. Specifically, the paper explores the relationship between notions of heritage, Modernist Movement World Heritage, and nationalist imaginaries. I argue that the World Heritage regime validates and enables state authorities to exercise new forms of hegemonic domination, namely the exploitation of historical narratives to graft specific forms of…
