45] – On Wed., May 4 at 12:30 PM, tune in to Robert Jacobs, The Global Hibakusha [Online], a virtual seminar. Millions of people around the world have been exposed to radiation from nuclear weapon and nuclear power related activities since the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These activities include nuclear weapon testing, the mining and processing of uranium, the production of fissile materials for weapons and nuclear fuel, and nuclear facility accidents, and have involved systemic radiological harm. Drawing on the new book Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha, this presentation will explore the global Hibakusha, who they are, how they came to be irradiated, the effects of these exposures on their bodies, emotions, communities and ecosystems, and the mechanisms that often have left them invisible. Jacobs is a historian of nuclear technologies and a professor at the Hiroshima Peace Institute and Graduate School of Peace Studies of Hiroshima City University. He is the co-founder of the Global Hibakusha Project, which has conducted field research on radiation affected communities in more than 20 countries.

50] – Public Citizen [action@citizen.org] wants you to get involved on Wed., May 4 at 4 PM ET to support the January 6th Hearings. Sadly, Donald Trump and an extremist faction of the Republican Party are waging an ongoing campaign to sabotage US elections and attack the freedom to vote. They attempted a coup, and incited the violent attack on January 6th. They are not above the law. And starting on June 9, after nearly a year of investigations, the House January 6th Committee is about to expose them. There will be watch events in every corner of the country — where people come together, see the January 6th Committee’s evidence in real time, and then go out into their communities and spread what they learned. If you’re interested in learning more about hosting a January 6th Watch Event in your area, join a virtual meeting where you will be taught what you need to know to make your event a success.

51] – The GW Institute for Korean Studies [gwiks@gwu.edu] is hosting on Wed., May 4 from 3 to 4:30 PM ET the Soh Jaipil Lecture Series with Benjamin Young. This is a hybrid event. You can join Zoom or come to the Lindner Family Commons, Room 602, Elliott School of International Affairs. RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/soh-jaipil-lecture-series-with-benjamin-young-tickets-315641360807. This talk examines the ways in which the North Korean regime exported its own theory of insurgency to the Third World during the Cold War era and used mountains as the primary source of inspiration and revolutionary struggle. Unlike the rural-oriented Maoists in China or the urban-focused Soviet Union, North Korea perceived its revolution to be mountain-based and derived the Kim family's legitimacy from their historical closeness to Mount Baekdu, a sacred mountain to all Korean people. YOUNG is an Assistant Professor of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness at Virginia Commonwealth University's Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs.
