Associate Professor, Global & International Studies
University of California, Irvine

 

 

 

Thursday, September 18, 2025

This presentation focuses on Indigenous feminist and environmental justice responses to the linked militarism and ecological violence afflicting the Mariana Islands and Ryukyu Islands. It highlights the enormous role of the U.S. military in exacerbating the global climate crisis, even while promoting itself as the institution best suited to address climate disasters. The talk also examines how the U.S. military continues to militarize and poison various islands—while touting decreases in its own military presence and pollution within the very same archipelagos.

Tiara Na’puti 
is an Associate Professor of Global & International Studies at University of California Irvine. Her scholarship and community work addresses militarism, colonialism, Indigenous culture, and movements—particularly in the Mariana Islands archipelago and throughout Oceania. Dr. Na’puti is a first-generation college student who received a master’s and doctorate in Communication Studies and a certificate in Native American & Indigenous Studies (NAIS) from The University of Texas at Austin. She is a Chamoru scholar (Guåhan/Guam) who works with organizations addressing immigration rights and issues facing Native and Indigenous Pacific Islander populations.

Dear colleagues,

 

Earlier this summer, Hamish van der Ven and I launched the AI & Environmental Politics Network, which brings together scholars interested in AI and environmental politics broadly defined—whether using AI as a methodology, researching AI as a substantive topic, or exploring its role in teaching. The network features a new listserv and we warmly welcome new members.

 

As part of this initiative, we are organizing a first Research Medley on Thursday, 2 October, 16:00–17:30 CEST (10:00 EDT / 07:00 PDT). The session will feature a series of short presentations (5–10 minutes each) from colleagues who are using AI as a research methodology in the field of environmental politics, followed by Q&A and open discussion.
