SUMMARY:Public Talk featuring Alyssa Kreikemeier
DESCRIPTION:\nPlease join us for Alyssa Kreikemeier\, assistant professo
	r of environmental history at the University of Idaho\, book talk titled
	\, “Aerial Empire: Contested Sovereignties and the American West.”\n\nNe
	w claims\, legislation\, and technologies changed the atmosphere in revo
	lutionary ways over the twentieth century. Aerial Empire examines how th
	e U.S. settler state expanded through different kinds of atmospheric inf
	rastructures—from the arrival of the railroad to the expansion of airspa
	ce and air pollution controls by the close of the twentieth century. By 
	1986\, one-quarter of the nation lay under a military zone. Yet the ways
	 aerial empire structured relationships between Americans on the ground 
	and federal agencies grew increasingly complex. What happened in the air
	 didn’t stay there\, and efforts to control the atmosphere produced unev
	en and unpredictable consequences.\n\nKreikemeier’s book will appear in 
	the University of Nebraska Press’s “Many Wests” series\, which is edited
	 by Penn State faculty members Mary E. Mendoza and Christina Snyder\, al
	ong with Julie Reed\, Thomas Andrews and Ari Kelman.\n\nThis talk is fre
	e and open to the public.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu
